Staying True To History--The Challenger's Dominant Past
Introduced in the 1970s as direct competition to the already popular pony car segment, Dodge understood the necessity to deliver a vehicle stronger and more potent than the competition to succeed. Producing a brutally aggressive exterior design and monstrously powerful V8 engines, the Challenger quickly rose to mythic status amongst American consumers seeking a vehicle that makes an unforgettable statement via an all-out assault on every sense (with the exception of taste--though Challenger owners are passionate about their vehicles).
Performance and Comfort--A Delicate Balance
The 2018 Challenger proudly usurps their predecessors and outperforms the competition with track-ready models such as the SRT Hellcat and SRT Demon. Designing with almost reckless abandon, Dodge's commitment to producing a vehicle to outperform the vast majority of all other production cars resulted in the precedent-setting 2018 Challenger and its various iterations. Whether commuting while taking in the surprisingly comfortable and luxurious interior, or stunning your friends at the track as you rip down the quarter-mile in NHRA-prohibited time, the 2018 Dodge Challenger delivers the absolute maximum quantity of performance capable within the confines of its respective segment while maintaining an interior befitting of a daily driver.
