The 2012 Dodge Challenger sees minor trim changes following its model-year 2011 freshening. This retro-styled rear-wheel-drive car seats 5. Three trim levels are offered: base SXT (replaces SE), mid-line R/T, and high-performance SRT8 392. The SXT has a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine that can run on gasoline and/or E85 ethanol-blended fuel. The sole transmission for this model is a 5-speed automatic. R/T versions continue with a 5.7-liter V8. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard and models so equipped have 376 horsepower. A 5-speed automatic is optional. Those R/Ts have 372 horsepower and Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. SRT8 392 versions have a 470-horsepower 6.4-liter V8. Like the R/T, a 6-speed manual transmission is standard, and a 5-speed automatic is optional.
