Welcome to the Orangeburg Dodge family! The Dodge company has been producing fine-tuned vehicles for almost 100 years. Founded as the Dodge Brothers Company in 1900 to supply parts and assemblies for Detroit’s growing auto industry, Dodge began making its own complete vehicles in 1915. Moving on to today, Dodge has continued to produce fine, top of the line vehicles, such as those you will find at your Orangeburg Dodge dealership.

For instance, they have recently released the 2012 Dodge Challenger. The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of automobiles marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler. The first generation Dodge Challenger was a pony car built from 1970 to 1974, using the Chrysler E platform and sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda. The second generation, from 1978 to 1983, was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. The third and current generation was introduced in 2008 as a rival to the evolved fifth generation Ford Mustang and the reintroduced fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro. We at your Orangeburg Dodge dealership are very proud of the history and tradition associated with the Dodge name.

The 2012 Challenger is a bit different from it ancestors. The new Dodge Challenger brings some of the most cutting-edge technology available on the performance market. Mirroring that technology is the safety features that have been deemed mandatory for all Dodge vehicles being produced today. Dodge decided to stick to rear wheel drive, as they do with most of their Muscle Cars. The rear wheel drive is responsible for that seat of your pants feeling when accelerating that so many Dodge owners know and love.

The 2012 Challenger comes in three different trim models and styles, such as you will find at your Orangeburg Dodge dealership. This wide range of selection makes it easier for you to get the prefect Challenger suited to your desires. When one entertains the thought of owning a 2012 Challenger, they usually sway toward the horsepower and the beefy body styling often associated with the majority of Dodge sports cars on the market. It is hard to paint a picture of all of the features and options available across the spectrum of three trim levels. The best solution for the desire to experience the new 2012 Dodge Challenger would be to locate your Orangeburg Dodge dealer. Don’t forget to bring a hair brush for when your drive is complete!

There are three different engine options on the new Dodge Challenger. The first engine in the list is the 305-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6. A five-speed automatic that’s 45 pounds lighter than last year’s model while remaining just as powerful, the 3.6L V6 delivers 268 foot pounds of torque. It’s also Flex Fuel Capable. Your Orangeburg Dodge dealer would love to put you behind the wheel for a test drive.

Chiming in at the middleweight class is the 372 or 375 HP 5.7 Liter HEMI V8. Even an engine that delivers 372 horsepower can be smart about fuel. With Fuel Saver Technology, the 5.7 Liter HEMI V8 automatically switches from eight to four cylinders for greater fuel efficiency during cruising. The manual transmission delivers 375 horsepower.

Last but not least, the monster engine in the 2012 Challenger is the 392-cubic inch 470-horsepower HEMI V8. This 392-cubic inch, throttle-hungry engine delivers all the classic raw power you’ve ever wanted out of your new Dodge sports car. And its Fuel Saver Technology automatically switches from eight to four cylinders for greater fuel efficiency. Contact your local Dodge dealership and ask the salesman to give you a walk around of the new 2012 Dodge Challenger.
