The new 2011 Dodge Challenger offers more than the muscle car enthusiasts-I – a line of more powerful engines and efficient, maximum grip with a totally new design suspension performance and more athletic styling – all executed with precision and quality .
“To offer the most exciting to drive Challenger lineup ever, Dodge hardware upgrade of the iconic coupe performance for maximum accuracy and compliance,” said Ralph Gilles, president and CEO – Mark Dodge, Chrysler Group LLC. “Since the Pentastar lighter aluminum V-6 engine with 305 horsepower standard, redesigned suspension geometry aluminum aggressive negative camber for better grip in corners, feels better and no loss of efficiency, for a weight distribution nearly balanced 50/50, the new 2011 Dodge Challenger has the hardware to compete. ”
The new 2011 Dodge Challenger combines world-class ride, refinement and braking performance with more power and new track tuned suspension to deliver a thrilling driving experience.
Redesigned to handle the horsepower all-new 3.6-liter V-6 engine Pentastar 305 (227 kW) – 55 more horsepower than the previous V-6 engine – the new 2011 Dodge Challenger SE features a suspension of grabbing road tour, in line with wider 18-inch wheels and tires for better control. In addition, a revised brake pedal ratio brake servo and refined to improve brake response and feel.
Upping the ante for 2011, the new Challenger Super Sport with Rally Group presents a totally new suspension for high performance disc brakes with higher performance, steering performance, larger and wider aluminum wheels 20 x 8.0-inch chrome new-plated P245 / 45R20 Firestone Firehawk performance tires for all seasons and greater adherence to a rate of 3.06 rear axle for better all around acceleration.
handling performance requires maximum grip, and the new 2011 Dodge Challenger SE and R / T models feature redesigned front and rear suspension geometry with premium suspension hardware for the ride world-class handling.
At the heart of the design of new Dodge Challenger suspension are isolated, cradles lightweight front and rear suspension, which create a rigid assembly required for precise performance.
In the cradle of the front, new shocks monotube front shock, springs and a repositioning of the front lower shock bushing-link suspension provide better control and ride comfort. Combined, these suspension components provide improved handling and durability, reducing the hardness of the obstacles in the soil compared with the previous Dodge Challenger. In addition, all hydrobushings new front suspension – a suspension component premium – reduce the severity and prolong the ride smooth braking characteristics.
At the rear five-link the new 2011 Dodge Challenger rear suspension design, new features roll-steer geometry, allowing independent control of camber and suspension movement of the toe to the manipulation of world class. All newly monotube dampers and springs make the ride more refined, while improving handling and dynamics. Premium Urethane jounce links and suspension bushings with rubber shock rear suspension help the Challenger to contribute to a quieter interior cabin. In addition, new insulators upper and lower spring seat, to provide additional damping of the rear suspension of the Dodge Challenger to provide a smooth participation on collisions.
A more aggressive front and rear camber geometry to improve the capabilities of the new Dodge Challenger, holding the road. Set the front and -1.0 degrees -1.75 degrees in the rear, Dodge Challenger consists of high speed corners with their tires leaning inside on the upper body. New larger diameter front and rear stabilizer bars keep the chassis agile cornering lean and become a thing of the past.
Depending on the mode of control “within the system Steering, the system applies the variable effort steering for different driving conditions. Steering analysis of steering angle, vehicle speed, engine speed and chassis control systems 13 times per second performance for precise handling feel. When the Dodge Challenger is stationary or moving at low speeds, the assistance hydraulic pump increases the power of a lighter steering effort. The pump reduces steering assistance at highway speeds to give the performance coupe a touch firmer, and as a consequence, the system provides a fuel savings of up to 1.5 percent by consuming less energy than a ticking bomb belt.
All newly Pentastar V-6 engine gives greater efficiency and an impressive 305 Horsepower
With its new 3.6-liter V-6 engine Pentastar produces 305 horsepower – 55 more horsepower than the engine it replaces – the new 2011 Dodge Challenger SE is the most powerful, refined and technologically advanced entry-level Challenger always .
The 3.6-liter V-6 engine Pentastar is a totally new design, with dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and dual cam phasers-independent (DICP), integrated exhaust manifolds, polymer-coated piston skirts, piston rods and forged a high-pressure cast aluminum block in a setting of 60 degrees. In addition, Dodge Challenger engineers added a whole new system of induction of cold air and dual exhaust from headers back to exhaust tips for maximum output. The result is 305 horsepower track-ready (227 kW) at 6350 rpm and 268 lb.-ft. of response (363 N • m) of torque at 4,800 rpm. The engine torque over 90 percent of its peak from 1800 to 6400 rpm that provides excellent handling and customer responsiveness.
Thanks to its all-aluminum design, this new 3.6-liter V-6 engine Pentastar is 45 pounds. (20 kg) lighter than the previous V-6 engine and provides the new 2011 Dodge Challenger V-6 with a weight distribution of 52.4 / 47.6 front to back (compared to previously 53.5/46.5) to improve balance and handling.
Refinement was a key objective for each component during the design phase of the engine and was achieved through advanced techniques of computer aided engineering. consumption, structural, and engine exhaust areas are designed to deliver low levels of overall sound and achieve specific goals of sound quality to satisfy the most demanding customer needs. Combined with the use of premium powertrain all new hydraulic racks, the new Dodge Challenger-2011 offers refinement in all applications and powertrain RPMs.
Designed to be environmentally responsible, the Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine design characteristics of the motor and a lead-free ecological oil filter system. The integrated oil cooler / filter system uses a filter element that can be incinerated, landfill avoiding the burden of the traditional filter systems. The long-term use candles and a high-energy coil-on-plug ignition system maximizes component life and helps reduce the cost of ownership.
