Will the new dodge challenger come stock with a 6.1 liter or a 6.4 liter?

Question

There are a lot of questions about the base engine or is it the same boring 5.7 liter

Answer 1

all the rumors i have heard put the R/T with the 6.1 and the SRT with the 6.4, but the latest rumor is a 426 HEMI special edition car. and the 3.5L V6 that is in the current Chargers.


and before anyone says no you cant put that motor in these cars, take it easy....the 5.7 (345 cid) can be bored and stroked to 392 cid and the 6.1 (370 cid) can be bored and stroked to 426 cid.

Answer 2

"According to sources, Chrysler is trying to decide on which strategy to follow: a high-price, low-volume run, or a high-volume, lower-price run. Also in flux is the question of engines - restricting to just the Hemi, or allowing both the Hemi and at least one V6. Chrysler announced a manual transmission will be available along with an automatic, each having five speeds; an SRT-8 version will have the 6.1 Hemi while the stock Challenger will have the 5.7 Hemi (no, they will not have the new crate Hemi, nor did we expect them to). At this point we believe there will be a first-year run of about 50,000 Hemi equipped Challengers, possibly with automatics, followed by a smaller run of Hemi Challenger SRT-8 cars with manual transmissions. Rumors are flying about a 6.6 liter Hemi, but we believe that is speculation at this point."
That's the best answer I could find. the Dodge site has no specs, only pictures.

Answer 3

The base motor will probably be the 6 banger with the 5.7 and 6.1 as options. They usually always have a base 6 as their price leader motor and with gas prices these days they really need a 6 for the peeps who only want style and dont want to pay for performance. The mustang is a good example of that.
