Dodge will already sell you more horsepower per dollar than any other brand out there, thanks to its 5.7L Hemi V8 in the Challenger, Charger and Durango. Fun metrics such as this have likely contributed to the sales growth of each model. Especially the Charger, which is the best-selling full-size sedan on the market. Meanwhile, Dodge Challenger sales have outpaced the Chevrolet Camaro. And to keep the foot on the gas, FCA has announced the “Dodge Power Dollars” incentive program for ever 2019 model year Challenger, Charger and Durango.
Each vehicle and variant will have a $10 per horsepower cash allowance on the hood, including Pentastar V6 SXT and GT models. And the higher the horsepower number, the higher the savings. That means that buyers can save $7,970 on a 797-horsepower 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye. Is that a bald eagle screeching in the distance? We think so.
“Dodge has more horsepower than anyone else, and we want to share it and give those who have always wanted more the ability to get more. The goal is to grow to a half-billion horsepower before the end of the year. This is what we believe John and Horace Dodge would want us to do,” said Tim Kuniskis in a prepared quote.
