2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320

As sad as we are that the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is no longer in production, things are looking up with the announcement of the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320. The drag-oriented, street-legal piece of muscle magic will go into production by the end of 2018. Dodge plans to begin sales in early 2019.

Some noteworthly specs:

• 6.4-liter Hemi V-8
• 485 horsepower
• 475 lb-ft of torque
• Eight-speed automatic transmission
• Quarter mile time of 11.7 seconds at 115 mph

The car has an MSRP of $48,980 which includes the $3,995 1320 package as well as the $1,595 automatic transmission. Steve Beahm, head of passenger car brands for Dodge, SRT, Chrysler, and Fiat for FCA North America calls the car a “special model, a buzz model,” “The 1320 is intended to be a vehicle that someone can drive to work, but if they’re working on a Saturday they can head over to the drag strip and take it down the track.”  Don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated as production gets closer.
