2009 Dodge Challenger R/T coupe 2-door automatic

The Challenger is Dodge’s two-door rear-wheel-drive coupe that is one of the most recognized names and faces from the pony-car era and returned to the Dodge lineup for 2008 after a 35-year hiatus. The design of the new Challenger, which debuted as a concept at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, remains true to its heritage, but the Challenger benefits from modern technology to deliver a completely new level of performance. The R/T and SE join the limited edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 for the 2009 model year to complete the Challenger model lineup. Limited to just 6,300 units, each 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 includes carbon fiber-look hood stripes and a numbered dash plaque.

2009 Dodge Challenger is a modern-day muscle machine representing the best from the past and present," said Mike Cavetti, Director - Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing, Chrysler LLC. "Thirty-five years following the debut of the original, we are bringing Dodge Challenger back and loading it with essential hardware, styling and technology desired by today's buyer."

The Dodge Challenger is the first five-passenger, two-door coupe produced from Chrysler's proven rear-wheel-drive platform that delivers the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. Developed with Dodge's credo of "bold, powerful and capable," the Challenger delivers a modern two-door muscle car.Three models will be offered in North America: Dodge Challenger SRT8®, Dodge Challenger R/T and Dodge Challenger SE.
