The activation of sport or manual shifting mode will also lock the system into all-wheel drive. That’s down a bit from the RWD Challenger’s EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. A comparable Camaro would also be fitted with Pricing for the 2017 Camaro starts at $25,905. That’s more expensive than the Mustang, but is less expensive than the Challenger GT. Though launch control is featured in the Uconnect infotainment Performance Pages, it’s a ruse. Granted, the Camaro does not come with AWD.Dodge is doing its best to make the Challenger a jack-of-all-trades that appeals to a wide audience. But selling the soul of the American muscle car to gain cold-weather practicality feels a little like trading glory for comfort. Our car experts choose every product we feature. Mark McNabb was a contributor at TopSpeed from 2013 to 2018. 26 Photos. Torque is rated at 268 pound-feet.As for an official statement from Dodge, Tim Kuniskis, who is the head of passenger cars for Dodge, Dodge is putting the 2017 Challenger GT on sale this winter, likely during the first quarter of 2017. A 3500-rpm launch can be selected, but the torque converter limits engine speed to 2500 rpm while stationary, creating an uneventful dash from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. What’s more, the induction system and dual exhaust system help the V-6 generate 90 percent of its peak torque from just 1,800 rpm up through 6,400 rpm.Mated to the engine is the familiar TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF. Perhaps those folks interested in a two-door performance coupe, who also happen to live in the north, might find the Challenger GT appealing.All-wheel drive does give the car a year-round lease on uninterrupted driving, and with a good set of winter tires, would be unstoppable in such harsh conditions. Ground clearance would remain the Challenger’s only issue.Could Dodge be paving the way for all-weather versions of the American muscle car? With Sport mode active, gear changes are quicker and revs are held higher for even more performance-oriented acceleration and higher shift dynamics. The GT’s standard 19-inch wheels house front rotors that are one inch larger than those on SXT trims, although any benefit is lost to the all-season rubber. These are simple yet effective add-ons that bring more functionality and convenience to the big Dodge.Dodge has not released the full specs on the 2017 Challenger GT, but the car is expected to be offered in the full palette of 12 paint colors.As for the bodywork, the 2017 Challenger GT will come with the same grille found on the Challenger SXT Plus, the next up from the bottom trim, the standard SXT. The lower grille is comprised of black mesh and is where the majority of airflow comes through for cooling.

Under normal driving conditions, the front axle is disengaged and 100 percent of the engine’s torque is directed to the rear wheels. When sensors indicate the need for additional traction, the system automatically engages the front axle, instantly transitioning Challenger GT into all-wheel-drive mode.Enhanced with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), the Challenger GT AWD has impressive handling on all surfaces, especially snow and ice. The GT Interior Package carries an MSRP of $995.The Super Track Pak, on the other hand, is a software bundle living inside the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. When the temperature dips into winter-like readings, or when the computer detects wheelslip, a clutch seamlessly engages the propshaft, sending up to 38 percent of the available torque to the front axle.

The Challenger GT seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with no driver intervention.

The ESC system comes with three modes, including “full-off” for those wanting to impersonate Ken Block.Dodge estimates the 2017 Challenger GT will get 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.
