Power is then provided by a 5.7-litre V8 engine pumping out an additional 75 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque over the standard V8. Power is funnelled through an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s called the Challenger GT AWD and is strictly a concept at this point. It also makes do without the orange accents.

“Dodge Challenger GT AWD Concept It’s V-8 muscle with all-wheel drive”. Yes, you read that right.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ [NYSE:FCAU] official aftermarket and accessories division Mopar has brought an assortment of vehicles to this week’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, the highlight of which is this all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger.
Coming to the looks, the GT AWD Concept has been done up in a tri-tone color scheme with Destroyer Grey serving as the base being complimented with matte black for the front hood and roof top.
Along with the new drivetrain, there’s also a custom visual package which consists of new colors, lowered suspension, a wide-body kit and 20-inch wheels. Mopar high-performance brakes hide behind 18-inch wheels, and the interior continues the black theme while featuring red accents.

The front chin split and added rear spoiler both add to the aesthetics of this Challenger and serve as functional elements in its design. The quad Mopar exhaust tips at the rear are powder-coated Satin Black, as is the fuel filler door – both are off the Mopar shelf. On the inside, the seats are trimmed in Katzkin leather with suede inserts. The regular steering wheel has been replaced with a flat bottom steering wheel to aid in performance. The 5.7-liter engine is upgraded with the Scat Pack 3 Performance Kit, which gives it a few more horses. The Scat Pack 3 Performance Kit adds Mopar Performance CNC-ported cylinder heads, Mopar hi-flow manifolds and hi-flow catalysts, a gasket set, exhaust manifolds, exhaust adapter, mounting brackets, hardware and two Scat Pack 3 badges.
