The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon<\/a> is dead, but that doesn\u2019t mean the company has given up on high-performance models designed for drag racing. Just the opposite as Dodge has unveiled the 2019 Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 1320.\n<\/p>\n Named after the quarter-mile distance in feet, the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 1320 has a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces 485 hp (361 kW \/ 491 PS) and 475 lb-ft (643 Nm) of torque. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with a class-exclusive TransBrake.<\/p>\n While the engine carries over from the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack<\/a>, the 1320 has an assortment of components specifically\u00a0designed for drag racing. These include an asymmetrical limited-slip differential, 41-spline rear axle half shafts and an adaptive damping suspension with a drag mode that \u201coptimizes weight transfer to the rear for best launch traction.”<\/p>\n The car also has launch assist, launch control and line lock. Lastly, the model rides on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels that are wrapped in specially developed Nexen SUR4G Drag Spec tires. The latter are billed as \u201cstreet-legal drag radial tires\u201d that deliver maximum grip and repeatable quarter-mile times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The modifications continue in the cabin as the 1320 only comes with a driver\u2019s seat. However, a front passenger seat and a rear seat are available individually as $1 options.<\/p>\n Designers also installed a handful of special touches including new \u201cAngry Bee\u201d logos and 1320 badging on the air vents surrounds. Despite the focus on drag racing, the car comes equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, park assist and an 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system.<\/p>\n Thanks to all these modifications, the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 1320 can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km\/h) in 3.8 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 115 mph (185 km\/h). Dodge says this makes the model the \u201cfastest naturally aspirated, street-legal muscle car available.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2019 Dodge Challenger R\/T Scat Pack 1320 will be available to order later this year<\/a> and pricing starts at $44,585 \u2013 excluding a $1,395 destination charge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/images.carscoops.com\/2018\/07\/abb7a640-dodge-7.jpg\")
