In addition, the functional Shaker hood features a Mopar cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box for improved airflow and performance. When one lifts the hood, they will find a “Shaker” graphic which is reminiscent of the 1970s original.

The Challenger R/T Shaker is driven by the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine delivering up to 375 horsepower (275 kW) and 555 Nm (410 lb-ft) of torque. It can be equipped with the new TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission.

The exterior stance is strengthened by the standard 20-by-9-inch matte black lightweight forged aluminum wheels. 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus Shaker is priced at $38,495 USD.

At the top of the range sits the Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker, crowned the “King of all Shakers.” It is driven by the 6.4-liter 392 HEMI V-8 engine, delivering 485 horsepower (357 kW) and 644 Nm (475 lb-ft) of torque.

The unit can be mated with either the six-speed manual or the new TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission.
