SRT Challenger SRT (United States of America, 2011-present)

The 6.4l V8 can deactivate half of the cylinders while cruising to improve fuel economy and emissions. Still the big engine is rated at using 14 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

For 2012, all SRT8s get suspension with adaptive dampening. The system has two available modes: Sport and Auto. Auto is able to adapt the suspension based on throttle position, speed and steering angle. While the Sport mode forces the car constantly into its most aggressive settings.

The Yellow Jacket wears 20x9in wheels with performance tires. Inside, the Yellow Jacket has yellow trim on the standard leather seats with a yellow jacket embroidered on the seat head rests. 

The Challenger Yellow Jacket starts as an SRT8 Challenger with a 6.4l, Hemi V8 producing 470hp and 470lb-ft of torque. According to Dodge, the Challenger SRT8 can accelerate to 60mph in the high four second range. It comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission but can be optioned with five-speed automatic. Regardless of transmission, the Challenger gets a limited-slip rear differential.
