July 16, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Dodge brand is putting all
car enthusiasts on notice with its new 2015 Dodge Challenger lineup,
delivering more performance, precision and world-class technology
features, including the segment's first TorqueFlite eight-speed
transmission and the most powerful muscle car ever, the new
supercharged 707 horsepower Challenger SRT Hellcat model, all to build
on the storied nameplate's record sales and continuous growth since
its 2008 return. And with a starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested
Retail Price (MSRP) of $26,995, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is more than
a legendary icon, it's an attainable dream car.

"The Dodge Challenger has been on a tear – setting an all-time
sales record in 2013 – its fifth year on sale," said Tim
Kuniskis, President and CEO – Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.
"For 2015, the new Challenger is the most powerful muscle car

capable and technologically advanced ever, with a starting U.S.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $26,995."

Pedal-to-the-floor, not letting up

Dodge is building on tremendous momentum as it introduces the new 2015
Challenger. The previous-generation Challenger scored five solid years
of continuous growth. Sales doubled between 2009 and 2013 in a segment
that saw just a 10 percent increase in the same period. In fact, in
its fifth year in the market, when most cars are on their natural
decline curve, the Dodge Challenger set an all-time sales record in
2013.

Looking to the future, the standard specialty segment in which the
Challenger competes is projected to grow substantially in the United
States. With nearly 430,000 units sold last year, the segment is up 10
percent since 2009 and is projected to grow 42 percent in the next
five years, giving Dodge, and its new 2015 Challenger, a huge
opportunity to grow with it.

Muscle-car enthusiasts who have flocked to the iconic Dodge Challenger
since its introduction in 2008 now have even more reason to love their
favorite muscle car with the addition of the 2015 Challenger 6.4-liter
Scat Pack model, a new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission,
up to 11 percent fuel efficiency improvement and a host of
driver-centric upgrades with its all-new interior.

The powerful and efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 in the SXT and SXT
Plus generates 305 horsepower and up to an EPA estimated 30 mpg on the
highway – an improvement of up to 11 percent. Those looking for even
more power will want the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 punching out 375
horsepower with 410 lb.-ft. of torque. And the enthusiast can now get
behind the wheel of a best-in-class 485-horsepower and best-in-class
475-lb.-ft. of torque 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 Scat Pack that gets up to 25
mpg on the highway. For those who want nothing less than the ultimate
in performance the most powerful muscle car ever, the all-new 707
horsepower SRT Hellcat delivers on all accounts.

In addition, America's true GT muscle car also offers an unmatched
array of personalization options, including a wide range of colors,
stripes and wheels – 12 wheel designs to select from – to create the
