HEMI Powered:
The 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T has the makings of a new legend
without leaving behind highlights from the past. In addition to
bold, nostalgic styling, Dodge Challenger R/T offers a powerful HEMI
Engine. Available with a manual or automatic transmission. |

The 2009
Dodge Challenger R/T features a new generation
5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that produces an estimated 370
horsepower @ 5800 rpm and 398 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4200
rpm when paired with the five-speed automatic
transmission.
When
paired with the six-speed manual transmission the HEMI
produces an estimated 375 horsepower @ 5800 rpm and 404
lb.-ft. of torque @ 4200 rpm. The 2009 Dodge Challenger
is the first ever manual transmission option on a new
generation HEMI powered car.

For 2009,
the engine is upgraded to get an estimated 5 percent
improvement in fuel economy, an increase of 30
horsepower (9 percent) and 8 lb.-ft. improved torque (2
percent) over a greater range of engine speeds;
particularly at lower engine RPM for an improved
off-the-line feel. |

This is achieved with
variable-valve timing to improve torque and an increased
compression ratio (10.5 from 9.6). These allow for
greater use of Chrysler’s fuel-saving multi-displacement
system (MDS) technology available on vehicles equipped
with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with automatic transmission.
The new-generation HEMI engine features dual ignition
(two spark plugs per cylinder) which increases peak
power and torque, reduces exhaust emissions, increases
fuel economy and smooths the idle. A refined combustion
system and robust structure with direct-mount
accessories help make the engine quiet.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with the five-speed automatic
transmission includes fuel-saving multi-displacement
(MDS) technology. MDS is well suited for vehicles like
the Dodge Challenger with an automatic transmission
because of its dual nature: a powerful and smooth engine
for acceleration that is economical when cruising. |
