For the 2012, the range-topping SRT-8 version of the Charger receives a new 6.4 liter V8 putting out 465hp and 465 lb-ft. of torque. Besides the added power, the new engine is more efficient featuring Fuel Saver technology which deactivates half the cylinders when cruising.
Featured in The Fast and the Furious, the Charger was powered by a 425 HP V8.
Dodge adds more muscle to the Charger with its 425 HP SRT8 version. 85 more horsepower was unleashed by adding more cubic inches, increasing the compression ratio, redesigning the cylinder head, intake and exhaust systems for increased flow, and increasing engine speed. 0-60 should be around 5 seconds with a 1/4 mile well into the 13s. To keep all that power in check, Dodge used Brembo brakes which help achieve a 0-100-0 MPH in the mid 16 second range.
