The lowest-priced Challenger is the SE, powered by Chrysler's long-serving 3.5-liter V6 good for 250 horsepower and torque. The rolling stock consists of 18-inch alloy wheels and high-performance tires, with a Classic R/T version getting unique 20-inch wheels and more styling hints to bring back memories of the original Challengers.
Interior features for the Challenger include a standard CD/MP3 system with four speakers, and a six-speaker Boston Acoustics system standard on the upper-level R/T models. Lower trim models come with cloth bucket seats and eight-way power driver seat, while higher-trim models feature heated seats as well.
Base models of the 2011 Challenger exchange a 250-horsepower V-6 for Chrysler’s new corporate Pentastar V-6. In the middle, the 2011 Challenger R/T’s “regular” Hemi gains a nominal 7 horsepower
It’s amazing how the muscle car wars – all but dead a decade ago – have reached pretty amazing heights. Both the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang get better each model year, with power boosts, chassis changes and visual tweaks bringing a steady flow of news and anticipation from the collective fan-base.
