Dodge is finally bringing back the beloved Challenger T/A. Named for the old Trans-Am racer of the ’70s, the badass V8 is a perfect combination of the old and the new and comes in a trio of different styles: the T/A, T/A Plus and T/A 392. All three of the Challengers boast a similar aesthetic, coupling center-mounted hood scoops with a ram-air design that brings air in through the headlamp to the engine’s intake and Mopar air filter. Other details include LED-illuminated badges, satin black finishes, and a performance exhaust system while drivers can even opt for old-school hood pins if they so choose.
What really differentiates each of the T/As, however, is what’s under the hood. Both the T/A and T/A Plus employ a 5.7-liter V8 capable of 375 horsepower while the 392 ups the ante a bit with 485 horses thanks to a V8 of the 6.4-liter variety. Naturally, six-speed manual transmissions come standard, though eight-speeds automatics are available as well. Finally, Dodge is offering up a Super Track Pack for the Challengers, adding everything from Bilstein shocks, high-performance breaks, and a lowered suspension to a three-mode stability-control system, forged aluminum black Mopar wheels, and either Goodyear Eagle F1 tires or Pirellis. As for the interiors, the T/A Plus replaces the base T/A’s houndstooth-finished seats with heated and ventilated leather buckets and throws in a leather-wrapped power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system, Apple Car-play and Android Auto for good measure. The 392, on the other hand, offers all of that in addition to special decals and a number of other performance upgrades like wider wheels and six-piston Brembo front calipers.
Expect the T/A to turn up soon at Dodge dealers with prices starting at $38,485 USD for the base T/A and going all the way up to $45,090 USD for the 392.
