Make way, the new motoring muscle has arrived in town and admirers of the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 will be winging their way to the Ahmed Zayani showroom at Zinj to check out the mean machine.

For 2012, it adds even more high-tech performance features to solidify its place as the brand’s ultimate modern American rear-wheel-drive coupe.

This 470 horsepower vehicle promises a balanced performance approach with outstanding acceleration, world-class ride and handling, high-performance braking and the most up-to-date technologies, its makers say, delivering more driver excitement and control. And, it still gets 37km per gallon on the highway.

This Challenger accelerates from 0-100kmph in the high 4-second range, runs the quarter mile in mid-12-second range with the automatic transmission (high 12-second range with the manual) goes from 0-160-0 kmph in the low 15s, reaches a top speed of 293 kmph with the manual transmission 282 kmph with the automatic and stops from 100-0 kmph in just 36 metres.

The 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 features a standard Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission and a dual-disc high performance clutch.

The five-speed automatic transmission features new, standard steering wheel mounted paddle shifters that allow for a choice of spirited shifting on both the road and the racetrack.

The Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is available, starting at BD22,000 at Ahmed Zayani on Sh Salman Highway.
