The first time Dodge used the moniker “shaker” was in the 1970s when the challenger’s special hood was unveiled. The “Shaker” has made a comeback.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger RT Shaker features unique throwback muscle-car cues that are bound to be a notable addition to the Challenger lineup.
Only 1000 units of these will be available.
As the name suggests, the RT Shaker has the legendary “shaker” hood popping out at the center. The new rendering receives an updated exterior design and scant packages that give it improved engine output.
