The teaser image reveals the Charger gets a sleeker front end with LED headlights and a blacked out version of Dodge’s trademarked crosshair grille. Other changes will likely include a revamped rear end with redrawn tail lamps, new alloy wheel designs and a refreshed interior.
Revised Challenger
In addition to the updated Charger, Dodge will present a revised version of the Challenger coupe. The automaker is keeping details under wraps until the start of the New York show on April 17th but it promises the 2015 Challenger will feature “a new powertrain combination that is sure to get enthusiasts “abuzz.”" That hint likely means we’ll finally see Dodge’s long-rumored Hellcat engine in the Big Apple.
Believed to be a 6.2L version of Dodge’s HEMI V8, the Hellcat powertrain will use a supercharger to boost power to at least 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. More powerful than a Viper, the Challenger Hellcat will take square aim at vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
Be sure to check back for more details and live images straight from the show floor later this month.
