All-Wheel Drive Dodge Challenger Accidentally Confirmed By US Government

Leaks are fairly common these days, and frankly they're often good for publicity as far as new cars go. But, as leaks go, the American EPA's confirmation of a four-wheel drive Challengerwas so low-key it nearly slipped under the radar

Dodge is about to release a four-wheel drive Challenger, and it sounds awesome.

The fellas at Jalopnik spotted an entry on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website, for a Dodge Challenger GT, which is confirmed on the same page as driving all four wheels.

Its a couple of miles per gallon worse on fuel than the rear-wheel drive version but the extra traction, plus the ability to plough on through winter weather, is surely going to be worth it.

The catch? As Dodge initially tests the water for consumer demand, it’s going to be V6 and automatic only. We really, really hope they stick a V8 into it, because that would be beyond amazing.

I know right, The world is no fun anymore. When i bought my first car a few years ago, i made sure it was rear drive to learn proper car control.

Sounds like it’s gonna be a pursuit spec as for police departments. As it is the Charger has been previously available with those specs.

I’m running more power and torque than an R/T in my WRX, and yet I still can’t do burnouts, so I doubt the V6 Challenger could do that. I think your only chance of performing a burnout with one of these is to get either bike tires or a Hellcat. Given your profile picture , I think you’d lean further towards getting a Hellcat. Now, that would be a different story. An AWD Hellcat would be an insane thing.
