The next option may be the 3.5L V6. This motor’s power numbers to utilise 250 for horsepower, and 250 ft lbs for torque. A driver of the vehicle can expect 17 miles per gallon during stop-and-go traffic, and 23 miles per gallon while driving on the road. This one comes standard on the SXT model.

Next, we have the 5.7L V8. This has been a Chrysler staple for more than 60 years. Due to this, it has become the standard of Chrysler reliability and performance. This engine produces 368 horsepower and 395 ft lb of torque. It gets an EPA estimated 16 miles per gallon in the city, and an EPA estimated 23 miles per gallon on the highway. This engine is ideal for someone wanting good performance, while still wanting good gas mileage.

The next within the series is the massive 6.1L V8 HEMI engine. This engine is exclusively available on the SRT8 type of Chargers. This engine creates a thunderous 425 horsepower, and a strong 420 ft lb of torque. This engine is perfect for someone who wants the complete highest performance out of his or her car, and does not be concerned about gas mileage.

Headlight about-face not abundant assignment abundant for halogen headlights. Had to install relays for headlights.

Our last attempt to carve a fairly simple face on a Halloween pumpkin didn’t quite work the way we’d imagine it to - somehow the face fell off when we tried connecting the eyes with the Joker-style smile. So we gather we’re not the ones to ask for advice on how to carve a Dodge Challenger and Ram pickup truck from these stencils that we’re released by Chrysler LLC’s official blog. But feel free to read the instructions after the jump and if you happen to succeed, send us a photo so we can see your achievements.

Dodge Durango offers an extensive renovation, with significant improvements in some key areas. Press MPV (as opposed to frame the contrast of the body) the project improves the quality and management, especially compared to their ancestors. From the outside it appears as a character old truck business of luxury, while a car with a big improvement and finishing. Four trim levels are offered: Express-equipped, mid-level staff citadel of luxury and sporty R / T offer both V6 and V8 engines. Unlike previous years, the current muscular 3.6-liter V6 - 290 hp and 260 Nm of torque.

You can choose rear-wheel drive, four wheel drive (V6 only) and change to all four wheels with a slightly greater distance (V8 only).In his statement, we find new exact comfort of Durango, and all the potholes and gullies. It is not enough to drive much better than the one used in Durango, a way of life, in comparison, but most of its large crossover competitors, too. Performance from the V6, not to say Durango V6, reasonable. As expected, the V8 provides strong acceleration and added, land, capital for those who want to drag. Inside the Durango offers an attractive design and advanced to the degree of competition, which was previously exempt from this model. second and third row ensure ample space for most families (in the last row can comfortably sit 6 feet for adults), although a maximum of seven passengers a person is subject to its rival GM.

Research a new Dodge car, find Dodge prices, read reviews The Dodge Viper is a V10-powered sports car made by the Dodge division of Chrysler. Production of the two seat sports car began at New Mack Assembly in 1991.

In 1996 a coupe model called the GTS was introduced with a lighter more powerful engine. The roof featured raised sections known as the “double bubble” above each seat to accommodate drivers wearing helmets. In 1999 18” wheels and an improved exhaust system further refined the Viper. Perhaps not technically a new generation, the second SR Viper increased horsepower, stiffened and lightened chassis, improved suspension and braking - ABS system introduced in 2001. The Viper GTS was chosen as the pace car for the 1996 Indianapolis 500.

Challenger’s looks. Kicking in the stall is the company’s hot new 3.6-liter dubbed the “Pentastar” V-6. Debuting in the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it’s an advanced dual-overhead cam design with variable valve timing and is initially rated at 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. With the 2011 Mustang winning attention for a new V-6 with 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, and the V-6 Camaro clocking in at 304/273, Challenger needs the Pentastar to remain competitive. Making the SE available with a manual transmission would also keep it abreast of the V-6 Mustang and Camaro models. The 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T is likely to retain its 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, though a bump from 2010’s 376 horsepower/410 pound-feet of torque is possible. The Hemi is named for combustion-chamber ceilings that are hemispherical rather than flat or angled. This one links to a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. Challenger R/Ts are fast cars, but only with the manual transmission does this two-ton coupe feel like a bona fide muscle machine.

Dodge, however, probably has additional trim packages in mind for the 2011 Challenger. Indeed, it’s kept a steady drumbeat of optional dress-ups, including recent SE Rallye-package and R/T Classic editions with body stripes and chrome gas caps right out of Challenger’s pop-art past. Model-year 2010 brought another retro-appearance option that added a hood scoop, rear spoiler, “strobe” body striping, and T-handle gear shift. Even “Plum Crazy” purple paint is back. Expect the 2011 Dodge Challenger lineup to repeat with SE, R/T, and SRT8 models. Dodge shoots down rumors that it’s considering a convertible body style; Mustang already offers one and a Camaro ragtop is in the works. Challenger is essentially a two-door coupe adaptation of the 2006-2010 Dodge Charger full-size four-door sedan. Compared to the Charger, Challenger rides a four-inch shorter wheelbase — the distance between the front and rear axles and a determinate of passenger space — so it has less rear-seat leg room. But Challenger’s body length is just 2.4 inches briefer than the 2010 Charger’s, and it’s actually wider and heavier. Dodge boasts that both cars have the same voluminous 16.2-cubic-foot trunk. All this makes for a somewhat paunchy pony, and Challenger is significantly larger than the Mustang and Camaro. The payoff is the softest ride, widest cockpit, and roomiest rear seat in the class. In fact, Challenger is the only one of the three that has seating positions for five passengers instead of four.

2011 Challenger features will include a sportier new steering wheel and a remote entry system that allows the driver to unlock the car without removing the keyfob from briefcase, backpack, purse, or pocket. Otherwise, all 2011 Challengers will again have four-wheel disc brakes with antilock management for better control in emergency stops, traction control to limit tire slip during takeoffs, and antiskid traction control to mitigate sideways slides. Head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows will also be standard. Same for a manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, power driver’s seat, and a split rear seat back that folds to create a cargo-passage from the trunk. The 2011 Challenger’s five-speed automatic transmission will again feature a separate gate for manual-type gear changes, while the six-speed manual’s lever will again be topped with a 1970s-style pistol-grip handle. Other returning options will include a power sunroof, remote engine start for automatic-transmission models, and xenon headlamps and a functional hood scoop for R/T models. SRT8 models come with xenons, function hood scoops, leather upholstery, special sport bucket front seats, and dashboard readouts that track 0-60-mph acceleration times, lateral G-forces, and other lead-foot data. Leather upholstery will return as an option on SE and R/T models, accompanied by heated front seats and mirrors. Also available again will be a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic information; Chrysler’s Uconnect multimedia system that includes USB iPod interface and steering-wheel audio controls; and sound systems that range to a 368-watt setup with seven Boston Acoustic speakers.

The release of the 2011 Dodge Challenger is nearly up on us, so we thought it fitting to take a look at the new incarnation of this classic and see whats new!

Obviously the retro style stays, and who would complain about that? Looks like the 2011 Dodge Challenger will be get a 6.4L boasting around 500bhp and be more fuel efficient than the 6.1L unit currently found in the 2010 Dodge Challenger. Other changes for the 2011 Dodge Challenger include the usual raft of minor cosmetic changes and some reworking of the mechanicals.

Dodge EV branding that was on this car when it first appeared last fall, it was obvious to all that it was simply a Lotus Europa. In spite of Chrysler’s seemingly inexorable drive to insolvency in recent months, the engineers and designers in Auburn Hills have continued to try make the best use of the time they have left with a paycheck. The electric sports car now known as the Circuit EV has been the beneficiary of cross-hair nose job that is actually an improvement over the Lotus original. The tail has also been revamped and the plug socket has moved from the passenger side to the driver’s side flank.

The specs haven’t changed so the Circuit is still a bit slower than a Tesla Roadster with a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds. The range is also estimated at 150-200 miles. It’s anyone’s guess what the real world range would be though since no one outside Chrysler or Lotus has thoroughly tested the Circuit yet. The other guess is whether Chrysler LLC will be around long enough to actually sell the Circuit to customers. Maybe we should start a pool to see which company will hold longer, Chrysler or Tesla?
