John Wayne, Star-spangled banners, hamburgers, and Dodge muscle cars - just some of the few things that come to mind when you think of the good ole US of A. Among the many famous nameplates in the Dodge collection, the Challenger is certainly iconic enough to deserve recollection, especially after being immortalized by Vin Diesel in the widely popular Fast and the Furious franchise, along with its sibling, the Charger. That’s right, the Dodge Challenger is guaranteed to get any petrolhead excited thanks to its selection of 3.6-liter V6 engines and 6.4-liter supercharged V8s.

In its current iteration, the third-generation Dodge Challenger started production in 2008. Here in the Philippines, the Challenger is available in two variants, the GT which is powered by a 3.6L V6, and the R/T Scatpack which is powered by the iconic 6.4L HEMI V8.
