Dodge is a brand that has reinvigorated itself over the last few years, and the 2012 Dodge Challenger Rallye Redline is a perfect example of why that has happened.
With a truly satisfying blend of style, performance, and a storied brand history, this Challenger will delight the enthusiastic driver.
Performance
The Rallye Redline features a Pentastar V6 engine displacing 3.6 liters, whose dual exhausts and finely tuned induction system produce a mighty 305 horsepower. The engine is constructed from lightweight aluminum, in order to minimize the vehicle’s weight, and the car also offers tweaked weight distribution in order to enhance driving pleasure.
Special care has been applied to the engine’s responsiveness, too, with its torque output reaching 90 percent or more of its maximum 268 lb ft for almost the entire rpm range.
Responsive
The Rallye Redline is all about feedback, and giving the driver the confidence to undertake precision maneuvers whenever they are required. The transmission is a five-speed Auto Stick paddle shift affair, with obvious nods to the race track.
These are teamed with a three-spoke wheel that allows the driver’s hands both long-ride comfort and accurate control. The car’s tuned suspension enhances the sporty feel, as does the inclusion of larger brake discs than on the standard model.
Interior
Despite its sporting feel, the Rallye Redline by no means sacrifices accessory levels when compared with its standard stablemate. In fact, quite the reverse.
The list of standard equipment on the model is extremely lengthy, and includes such highlights as heated front seats, a year’s subscription to Sirius/XM satellite radio, a driver’s seat with 10-way power control, and no fewer than six airbags – making the 2012 Dodge Challenger Rallye Redline not only one of the most satisfying cars you can drive today, but one of the safest as well.
