Is the Dodge Charger a Sports Car?

At Woodhouse Chrysler Jeep® Dodge Blair, we’re often asked, “Is the Dodge Charger a sports car?” After all, with an available 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat V8 engine producing a whopping 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, it’s hard to beat the raw power of a Dodge Charger.

While individual definitions of what makes a sports car may vary from one fan to another, our Dodge dealers believe that the Dodge Charger most certainly qualifies.

What Makes a Sports Car?

Years ago, many folks believed that no matter how sporty and performance-based a car, if it wasn’t rear-wheel drive, it wasn’t a true sports car. Today, the standards have changed, especially with the popularity of all-wheel drive platforms. Fortunately, no matter which camp you’re in, the Dodge Charger fits the bill. Standard, it’s a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, with all-wheel drive is available as an option.

Another mark in favor of the Dodge Charger as a sports car is its available driver-selectable steering modes. Choose from normal, comfort, and sport for your optimal steering feedback settings.

But what is great steering without a powerful suspension? Choose from three suspension systems, too, including performance, high-performance, and the widebody competition suspension.

With great power comes a great need for safety, so the Dodge Charger is equipped with either four- or six-piston braking systems to ensure that your ride can stop on a dime.
