The 2021 Dodge Challenger

Among all the vehicles released in 2021, none have generated as much talk and excitement as the 2021 Challenger. Maybe it’s because it’s the most powerful muscle car on the market, or maybe it’s because it comes with a whole suite of technology features geared specifically towards racing. Regardless, the 2021 Dodge Challenger is worthy of discussion in any group of car enthusiasts, and these six features are the ones many new owners are talking about the most.

1. Only the Challenger Offers Up to 807 Horsepower

The Challenger is a high-performance vehicle through and through, which is why it’s only natural that it should have multiple engine options. On the smaller end of the line, there’s a 3.6-liter Pentastar that produces a hefty 303 horsepower with 268 pound-feet of torque. If you’re looking for a more adrenaline-producing option, the Supercharged High-Output 6.2-liter Hemi V8 is offered with a shocking 807 horsepower output and 707 pound-feet of torque.

2. Control RPM Levels Before You Even Takeoff

When launching, maintaining adequate RPM levels before you release the brake is crucial. Launch Control is a feature that holds these levels for you until you remove your foot from the brake pedal. This means a stronger takeoff and more G-force when accelerating.

3. Connect to the Latest Entertainment Options

Uconnect is easily one of the most useful features in the 2021 Challenger, as it allows you to access music and apps from your Android device or iPhone within the cabin. Other features available include a customizable 8.4-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM Guardian for roadside assistance or emergency situations, and a navigation feature, which allows you to chart your path on maps to any location.

4. Safety Features to Match Its Performance

While the Challenger is a durable vehicle built with a solid steel frame, there are also plenty of advanced airbags within the cabin, if you should need them. Side curtain airbags line the vehicle from front to back, while two other types of airbags have also been assigned to protect the front passenger and driver as well.

5. Spin the Backwheels on Command With Line Lock

Line Lock is not just a feature that can help you on the racetrack, but one that just might impress others as well. This system locks the front brakes up while freeing the rear wheels, allowing you to perform burnouts more easily.

6. Increased Cooldown Time Between Races

If you choose a Challenger that has a supercharged engine, you want to make sure that the supercharger is fully cooled down before starting your next race. Race Cooldown is a feature that does this automatically for you whenever the engine shuts down. You’ll know when the supercharger is ready for its next run by monitoring its temperature from within the SRT Performance Pages program.


The Challenger is an intimidating contender on any drag strip or racetrack, which means it’s sure to turn heads on an average city street as well.
