The 2011 Dodge Challenger brings forth a whole new twist on muscle cars. For this new model, Dodge has decided to keep the same basic look as the 1970s Challenger, aside from the engine.
While the 2010 edition was constructed with a 6.1-liter HEMI, there have been rumors of the 2011 Dodge Challenger arriving with an improved 6.4-liter HEMI that will range from 475 to 525 horsepower and be more fuel efficient than the 6.1-liter HEMI. Dodge has truly resurrected a classic muscle car with the 2011 Dodge Challenger.
