The third embodiment of the Dodge Challenger. Dodge Challenger SRT8: Specifications, Photo Daughter Challenger
Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is a reminder of the Golden Institute of American Automotive, who came to the sixties of the last century. Many legends can be riveted in the summer, but Dodge, by a happy chance, is an exception. The challenger line also lives and so on, which means that the golden age is still going on.
For this review, the Challenger SRT8 392 2014 modification was selected with the engine 6.4 HEMI V8, with a capacity of 477 hp and automatic box Transmissions.
Interior and exterior
All interior details are affected by their sizes. Seats, steering wheel, instrument panel - here everything inspires respect. The theme "Retro" in the cabin can be traced, but it is a pity that plastic prevails in the decoration.
Ergonomics from the abundance of plastics did not suffer - the speed switching lever falls right in hand. This contributes to the light slope of the central console aside driver's chair. Steering wheel - Another example of thoughtful design. It has a variety of controls. You can get to any button very easily.
Super-contact SRT8 front seats provide very good support. For rear passengers There is a lot of space.
Yes, and the trunk is quite spacious, its volume is 458.7 liters.
Riding on this muscle Kare on city streets does not cause voltages. Adaptive suspension Perfectly copes with your work. As for the steering, the hydraulics causes the driver to work intensively only at the moments of parking. But we should not forget to control the craving: 470 horses stubcounted under the hood, in urban conditions, remain obedient, but it is a little stronger to gas, and the car is ready to break back.
Many believe that Challenger SRT8 392 is not created for long journeys. This is not quite so. The hood of rectangular shape is a great place to get acquainted with the outside world. Today, many cars on the hood have an overlay called "Power Dome", but in the case of the Dodge Challenger "Power Dome" is half the hood.
At the downloaded high-speed track, "Dodge Chelenger" 2014 behaves very reliable. Driving comfort is felt at any speed \u200b\u200bmode. The mode in which only four cylinders work at 2000 revolutions per minute is available only on models with automatic transmission. This is one of the innovations for the V8 engine. Another innovation is plastic air intakes, in which a two-stage air blower is installed.
As a rule, the V8 engine behaves better on large turns, but in all other cases, there are no complaints on his work. Even the blend of the gas pedal to the floor does not cause a sharp explosion of power. While the engine gives 2500 revolutions per minute, it does not seem that under the hood of the car there are 8 cylinders. But when the turns rise above 4000 per minute, it seems that nitro acceleration is launched.
The cult 392 HEMI V8 began to put on the model of the Challenger line since 2011. In the figures, its characteristics look like this: 470 hp and 637 nm. Moreover, from 0 to 100 km / h Challenger SRT8 392 accelerates in 4.8 seconds - with an automatic gearbox. For challenger models with mechanical box You can add several colors to this time.
When Challenger is accelerated to its maximum speed (282 km / h), the roar of the engine along with the working exhaust system Create a real sound anarchy. This can be explained from the engineering point of view. The combustion chamber has a hemispherical shape, so the characteristic sound of the engine running, merging with the sound emanating from exhaust pipe, Leaves an unforgettable feeling of everyone who is next to the car.
The only thing that does not please in SRT8 392 is fuel consumption. For all time testing Challenger spent up to 20 liters of gasoline per 100 km With a combined passage. it weak side This model equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. And the manufacturer stated the following fuel consumption figures per 100 km traveled path:
- in the city - 16.8 l;
- on the highway - 10.2 liters;
- combined fuel consumption - 13.8 liters.
- Long - 5022 mm
- Wheel base - 2946 mm
- Width - 2946 mm
- Height - 1450 mm
- Clearance - 122 mm
Handling "Dodge Chelenger" SRT8 392
It is usually believed that the muscles of the kara are not so good when turning turns. About Challenger SRT8 392 Do not say this. Apparently, the manufacturer does not smear when officially declares that the side acceleration of Challenger is 0.9. This indicator indicates a fairly good clutch with the road and, as a result - high degree security.
A big role is played well thought out, "smart" rear suspension. It has a five-stable configuration and is capable of adjusting the magnitude of the wheel of the wheel when the curve passes. Surprisingly, even with a tripled trigger stabilization system, Challenger demonstrates the highest discipline. The transition to the skid on the turn and exit from it gradually, so the driver always knows how the car behaves. Although the Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is a pretty massive car (its weight is 1 887 kg), in the most complex parts of the track, it is controlled without problems.
Annealing rubber and safety
Fans burn rubber can fully rely on Brembo brake brakes. They are installed on 14.2-inch front and 13.8-inch rear brake discs.
If we talk about safety tests, then Dodge Chelenger SRT8 392 for all of them (except one) received the highest ranking of five stars. Only in the dough on the turnover, he was put on one star less. A man sitting behind the wheel of Challenger SRT8 392 is protected and can feel safe.
In May of this year, the manufacturer presented at the New York Motor Show updated model Challenger 2015. Basically, serious changes touched technical Equipment The car, the design of the body and the salon remained almost untouched.
Retail price on the Challenger with the Pentastar V6 engine is $ 24 490. The top position in the line occupies SRT8 392, so the recommended price for it above is $ 45,685.
Among American muscles are copies with more complete complete setFor example, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray or Dodge SRT Viper. But Challenger has some special magic and among all the above-mentioned models, he is more inherent in the real American spirit.
Video overview Dodge. Challenger SRT8 392:
In February 2008 at the same time automotive exhibitions In Chicago and Philadelphia, the official premiere of the Dodge Challenger oil car in the third embodiment, revived after a 25-year break. Americans accepted so warmly legendary modelThat in just three days they reigned her annual circulation.
Already in 2009, the car has undergone a small update, as a result of which he received small changes in appearance and new equipment.
But the more significant modernization of the challenger fell in 2011, when it was not only corrected exterior and made small adjustments to the interior, but also thoroughly finalized the technical part - he was crushed by the suspension, improved the brakes and steering, as well as the revisions of the power palette.
The next "rejuvenation" of the third-generation oil-car survived in 2014, submitted to the public at the auto show in New York. Sport car did not just become modern outwardly, but also acquired a fundamentally shut-over internal decoration, an expanded list of equipment and a new 8-range "automatic".
In the appearance of the Dodge Challenger, the third generation immediately traced the similarity with the legendary ancestor of the early 1970s - this is all the same hardtop, devoid of the central rack.
The exterior of the car is not just deliberately powerful, but also a memorable - an aggressive "view" of deeply planted headlights, a characteristic waist line, shown in the rear area wheel arches, lowly planted roof and relief feed with waste lamps and a pair of exhaust system.
The external dimensions of the "Challenger" should be an impressive mind: 5022 mm in length, 1923 mm wide and 1450 mm in height.
The front and rear axles are distant from each other at a distance of 2946 mm, and ground clearance Sport car varies from 122 to 130 mm.
In the "combat" condition, a two-door coupe weighs from 1739 to 1887 kg depending on the modification.
Inside the "third" dodge challenger looks no less killy than outside - a relief multifunctional "bagel" of the steering wheel, a modern instrument panel with a large color scoreboard and an asymmetric console in the central part, looking towards the driver, with an 8.4-inch multimedia screen and the original block climatic system. In the oil-kara salon, it is not the safest plastics and genuine leather (and in the "top" solutions also carbon inserts), but the build quality is at a decent level.
"Challenger" is positioned as a five-seater coupe, but in fact, the rear row of seats due to the "influxed" central part and the massive transmission tunnel is suitable only for the raid placement of two passengers. Comfortable chairs with well-developed rollers of side support and large adjustment ranges are installed in the front.
In addition, the American sports car "affects" roomy luggage compartmentwhose useful volume has 459 liters.
Specifications. For the third generation dodge challenger, four gasoline power plantsequipped with two gearboxes to choose from and exclusively rear-wheel drive transmission.
The initial version of "Challenger" is called SXT., and under his hood hid a V-shaped six-cylinder "Atmospheric" Pentastar of 3.6 liters (3604 cubic centimeters) with direct fuel injection, the performance of which has 309 horse power At 6350 rev / minute and 363 nm of torque at 4800 rpm.
Together with it, a non-alternative 8-step "automatic" is established, as a result of which the sports car is accelerated to the first hundreds of 6.8 seconds, the peak corresponds to 220 km / h and it consumes 10.1 liters of fuel in mixed conditions of movement.
Followed by the execution of Dodge Challenger R / T. With a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 motor with a direct nutrition system generating 375 "mares" at 5150 rev / min and 555 nm of maximum thrust implemented at 4,300 rpm.
In Tandem, "Mechanics" on six gears or "automatic" on eight bands work with it. From space up to 100 km / h such oil-car rushes in less than 6 seconds, accelerating to 250 km / h limit speed. Passport consumption of gasoline in a combined mode - 12.8 liters for each "honeycomb" path.
Podcast space of versions R / T Scat, 392 Hemi. and SRT 392. Filled by the V-shaped "eight" HEMI of 6.4 liters with a cast-iron cylinder block and direct injection, in the arsenal of which 485 horsepower forces are located at 6000 rpm and 644 Nm of torque at 4200 rpm.
The engine is associated with mechanical, and with an automatic transmission, allowing the car after 4.5 seconds to leave behind the first "hundred" and accelerate to 300 km / h. In the mixed cycle of the movement "Challenger", the average eats 13.5 liters of fuel.
The most formidable option - Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
, which is equipped with an eight-cylinder 6.2-liter HEMI aggregate with a V-shaped layout, a cast-iron cylinder block and a turbocharger, outstanding herd in 707 "heads" at 6000 rev and "steam" craving in 881 Nm at 4000 rev / min, and 6- Speed \u200b\u200b"mechanics".
From the start up to 100 km / h, such a coupe "shoots" in just 3.7 seconds, reaching 320 km / h of maximum speed, and "devouring" about 15 liters of fuel in combination mode.
Third generation "Challenger" is based on the "Chrysler LC" platform with a longitudinally force aggregate. Front Oil-Car is equipped with independent suspension Spring-lever type, rear - multi-section design (and there, and there is a stabilizer transverse stability). On the "top" modification, the standardly adjustable is installed using the chassis electronics.
All wheels of the car can accommodate ventilated discs brake system diameter 320 mm (on powerful versions Their dimension reaches 390 mm), supplemented by ABS, EBD and BAS, and the steering mechanism of the "gear-rail" type is equipped with an electric steering amplifier with variable characteristics.
Package and prices. In Russia, the "third" dodge challenger is officially not supplied, but secondary market You can find a lot of offers at a price of 3 to 8 million rubles (according to the beginning of 2016) depending on the modification.
In the USA, the car is sold at a price of $ 26,995 for the basic performance of the SXT, which includes six airbags, automatic climate, multimedia system, multifunctional steering wheel, "Music", 18-inch wheels of wheels, electric car, ABS with EBD, ESP , Bas and other "chips".
But for the "top" SRT Hellcat will have to minimize $ 64,195.
Challenger is a special car in the American automotive industry. The first generation went to the series in 1970. Connoisseurs Series remembered as one of the brightest cars - this is a bubble with hefty motors.
However, the passion for powerful motors and thwaped the first generation of chelleggers - the fuel crisis made the car simply unprofitable. Production had to be collapsed after four years of success. Of course, there were attempts to revive former glory, but the dimensions of the failures did not know the limits due to ignoring obvious marketing truths.
And in 2006, a turning point was occurring in the history of this beautiful coupe. On the Detroit Motor Show presented the concept of a new Dodge Challenger car. Conceptually decided to emphasize the comfort, safety and handling, which is amazing for the machine with such a motor. And, most importantly, the design was visited, but left classic. Competent pre-project work did its job - the buyment received positive feedback.
Engine and gearbox
However, there is enough stories - consider closer than the younger SRT8. The characteristics of it holds the style of the series. Excellent acceleration dynamics provides taking into account all modern trends Chrysler V8 HEMI with a volume of 6.1 liters in which 425 horses are hiding.
By the way, interesting fact, For those who are not yet aware. The engine name is not an abbreviation, but a reduction from the word. HEMI means an internal combustion engine with hemispherical chambers (from the word Hemispherical - hemispherical). So, initially, the engines of the HEMI class were designed for aircraft, namely, for the American P-47 Thunderbolt fighter. But later, due to the circumstances and the increasing popularity of "American Muscle", Chrysler began to position the HEMI engine as a racing option for powerful machines.
Returning to the SRT8 car as a whole and its motor in particular, it is worth noting that the gas distribution system has been revised, and the inlet and release system has undergone upgrades. The car is equipped with a five-speed automatic machine or a six-speed mechanical one of the most positive innovations became recycling - due to their rational balancing, it was possible to kill in one shot at once two Zaitsev: improve the acceleration time to "hundreds" and fuel consumption.
Drive unit
Traditionally, the SRT8 car is a rear-wheel drive. Many will say that such a realization is associated with powerful engine Makes the car uncontrollable. However, professionals are not scary, and for beginners there is a bunch of assistants - differential with blocking, the stabilization system "Electronic Stability Control". Using such a scheme, the developers sought to achieve the most rational weight distribution during acceleration, as well as increase control over the car in fast devias. Therefore, the developers of the car Dodge Challenger SRT8 have chosen a rear-wheel drive scheme in order to optimize the weight in acceleration and increase controllability on rapid devias.
Salon
Americans words to the wind do not throw. Promised comfort - here's comfort! Front Seats Dodge Challenger SRT8 - Miracle. Deep chairs with good lateral support are trimmed with skin with perforation in the central part. Made most informatively, at the same time not clogged. The most frequently used features are made to the multifunctional steering wheel. On-board computer I know how to measure overclocking, acceleration, detection of braking and, of course, batch time by quarter miles.
Summary
At the Motor Show in New York 2017, the premiere of the extreme Dodge Challenger Srt Demon took place, which by the time of his appearance in serial appearance immediately became the owner of several records.
This car was waiting for this long ago, the company for many three months on Thursdays published a small portion of information about the new Dodge Challenger Demon, and now you can finally collect all it in one place.
In this case, technical and dynamic characteristics The models were hidden until the last. What are we in the end? Under the hood of the Dodge Challenger Demon, a seriously upgraded 6.2-liter V8 HEMI engine is located, which on the version of Hellcat gives 717 hp. and 881 nm.
For a demon, its capacity was raised to 850 "horses", and its maximum torque is 1,044 nm. The thrust is transmitted to the wheels of the rear axle through an 8-range automatic transmission Torqueflite 8HP90 with a reinforced torque converter and a transbreak system.
The transbreak is a special brake embedded in the gearbox, which allows you to load the engine before starting and moved from high revs. At the daemon, this system allows you to start with 2,350 rpm.
From the spot until hundreds of Dodge Challenger, the CRT demon is accelerated in 2.5 seconds, and the Drag distance in a quarter mile (402 meters) he overcomes for 9.65 seconds. at a speed at the finish of 225 km / h. Alas, maximum speed The coupe is not yet specified.
To increase the power of the engine from the initial 717 to 850 forces, the company has established a screw supercharger of an increased volume (2.7 liters versus 2.4) and raised the pressure of upgraded from 0.8 to 1 babe. In addition, the valve mechanism was reworked, more durable rods were installed, and instead of one fuel pump, two are now used. Maximum engine speeds raised from 6,200 to 6,500 rpm.
The unit works on conventional AI-91 gasoline, while it is provided for it called "Demon CRATE", when activated which the car can be filled with high-octane fuel 100+. It is in this mode that the maximum 850 forces are obtained. There are backwards. For driving on the roads common use You can use a special key that limits the power per 500 hp.
By default, the demon is sold without a rear sofa, without front passenger chair And without an audio system. As a result, it turned out 105 kg more easily with a standard coupe, and if desired, the seats can be returned for a symbolic surcharge of $ 1. But even if there is only a driving chair, the car is allowed to leave for public roads.
However, the main purpose new Dodge. Challenger Demon is Drag Racing. For this, the coupe equipped with 18-inch semisals of the company NITTO, for the installation of which had to reduce the diameter brake discs And change the six-piston calipers on the front axis on the four-piston. At the same time, the rear brakes can generally turn off in order to put the wheels in the slip to warm the tires before the start.
Just every other day after the presentation of the model, the National Association of Hot Childbies (NHRA) banned the demon to participate in Draught competitions, since the car was too fast. According to their rules, if a quarter of a mile is passing faster than 9.99 sec., In order to safety, the car needs to be equipped with a security framework, and the driver needs to receive a racing license. Like this!
Also, the suspension settings that were made somewhat softer were also undergone. For example, the rigidity of the springs was reduced by a third, and the stabilizers of transverse stability increased their support, the collapse of the rear wheels is reduced by half generators. All for the sake of efficient start and stability on acceleration.
For the machine there is a set of tools and a box with spare parts, among which are narrow front tires. Dodge Challenger Demon in combat mode when starting from a place can get up "on rap" (this is called Wheelie). In test arrival on two wheels, the car drove 89 cm, which became a record among serial cars. Another record - overload from 1,8G, which the driver is experiencing while acceleration.
In total, only 3,300 copies of Dodge Challenger Demon will be released, while three hundred cars will go to Canada, and the rest are intended exclusively for the US market. The price of the car begins from $ 84,995, and when ordering all the options available for model, the total cost approaches $ 100,000.
The last copy of the "Demon" came up from the conveyor on May 31, 2018 - later it will be sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction with one lot with the last Viper.
