Chrysler press release :
2011 Dodge Challengers Are Becoming Even More the Envy of the Muscle Car Market
Green with Envy Launches on Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8® 392 Models
February 9, 2011 , Chicago –
The expanding muscle car market is going to be "Green With Envy" as
the Dodge brand today announced a first-time, limited production run of
the 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8® 392 models featuring
Green With Envy exterior color.
Both Dodge Challenger models are improved for 2011 and deliver more of
what American muscle-car enthusiasts want – unmistakable design,
powerful HEMI® V-8 engines with new technologies and world-class
handling and braking. Executed with quality and precision, the two new
Challenger Green With Envy models provide an extra dose of exclusivity.
"We’re using Green With Envy on the new 2011 Dodge Challengers to pay
tribute to some of the coolest paint colors from our past, including the
"Sublime" and "Green Go" Dodge Challengers from the 1970’s and more
recently, the "Snakeskin Green" Vipers from 2008-2010," said Ralph
Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand and Senior Vice President ,
Product Design – Chrysler Group LLC. "Not only will this exclusive
heritage color remain unique to the Dodge brand, it adds another fresh
and exciting element to our modern American muscle coupe."
Production of the 2011 Green With Envy Challenger models will start in
February 2011 at the Brampton Assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario,
Canada. Challenger SRT8 Green With Envy models are available for
ordering now at Dodge dealerships, while orders for the Challenger R/T
Classic models will begin in late first quarter, 2011.
2011 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T CLASSIC
Upgraded for the performance enthusiast, the new 2011 Dodge Challenger
R/T Classic includes a new performance-tuned suspension with rail-like
handling, more power from the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 and more standard
equipment.
The limited edition Green With Envy model features two A-line
body-side stripes – either in matte black (standard) or white
(optional). New five-spoke, cast-aluminum wheels are styled in the
spirit of nostalgic Halibrand or "Kidney Bean" style with a modern
interpretation. On the interior, the premium Dark Slate Nappa leather
seats and center console feature Green With Envy accent stitching.
The legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine adds a new cold-air induction
system for 375 track-tearing horsepower (with standard Tremec six-speed
manual transmission) and 372 horsepower (with optional five-speed Auto
Stick transmission). Fuel Saver technology on the automatic transmission
seamlessly transitions to high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when
less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand. This
optimizes fuel economy when full V-8 power is not required, without
sacrificing vehicle performance or capability.
The EPA fuel economy, miles per gallon rating is 16/25 (city/hwy) for
both the automatic transmission and manual transmission models.
Other standard equipment on the new 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic
package includes "Challenger" fender badges in classic script, classic
"egg-crate grille" with heritage "R/T" badge, functional hood scoops,
high-intensity discharge headlamps (HID), heated front seats and six
Boston Acoustics premium speakers with 276-watt amplifier. The standard
Super Track Pak Group adds a high-performance steering gear,
high-performance brake linings, high-performance tuned monotube-shock
absorbers, P245/45R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car three-season tires and
three-mode ESC with "full off."
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2011 Dodge
Challenger R/T Classic Green With Envy, is $ 35,785 (includes $825
destination).
2011 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT8
This new and exclusive Green With Envy paint scheme joins the return
of the legendary 392-cubic inch HEMI powertrain under the hood in the
2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392.
In addition to the unique exterior, dual, full-body black stripes and
20-inch, five-spoke SRT-exclusive wheels with polished face and satin
black painted pockets are standard. The race-inspired interior of the
Challenger SRT8 392 features standard SRT-branded seats in Dark Slate
Nappa Leather with Green With
Envy accent bands in front and rear.
Pumping out 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, the newest HEMI
engine in the SRT product lineup provides an additional 90 lb.-ft. of
torque at 2,900 rpm compared with the previous 6.1-liter V-8 engine.
The added torque allows for inspired standing starts and improved
straight-line performance while new, performance-tuned motor mounts
improve idle stability and ride control at any speed. An active intake
manifold and high-lift camshaft with cam phasing provides maximum
low-end torque while optimizing high-end power.
New for 2011 is the Fuel Saver technology (four-cylinder mode) in
automatic transmission equipped models, which allows the engine to
operate economically on four cylinders or use all eight cylinders when
needed.
The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 gets 14/22 (city/hwy) miles per gallon
(mpg) with the automatic transmission model (a 15 percent increase on
highway versus 2010 model) and 14/23 mpg with the manual-transmission (a
4 percent increase on highway versus 2010).
The MSRP for the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 featuring Green With Envy is $44,875 (includes $825 destination).
The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is also now available in four
additional exterior colors, including Billett Metallic Clear Coat,
Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Redline 3 Pearl Coat and Toxic
Orange Pearl Coat.
