Various Survey Data says that many people decided to buy something else because they couldn’t get their muscle car coupe with all-wheel drive. 2017 Dodge Challenger GT is the world’s first and only all-wheel-drive American muscle coupe.

According to Forbes, the new 2017 Dodge Challenger GT has been pushed to innovate so it can stay relevant. Even since the 1970s, it has always been a good large coupe with distinctive styling and a useful trunk. Despite its rivals Mustang and Camaro who have turned into sharp-edged performance cars, the Challenger stays true to its nature and offers something unique because of it. The car is comfortable, quiet, and powerful.

The 2017 Challenger GT comes with four-wheel-drive and it is effective at pulling the car back on course. All the driver needs to do is point the steering wheel where he wants to go, and slam the foot on the throttle. The all-wheel-drive will send power to the front axle in just a moment. With its big 19-inch tires, it is really hard to get in trouble.

Yahoo reported that the 2017 Dodge Challenger GT is the largest car in its class. The car is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and has 305 horsepower. Dodge claims that the aim was to offer all-wheel-drive to a maximum of customers, and because it’s selling more six-cylinder Challengers than the ones powered by any of the three available V8s, they decided to go with the V6.

Dodge has borrowed some extra components like springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars from the AWD Charger Pursuit cop car, so they can support the extra weight on the Challenger GT. They said that they have tuned these components for slightly softened responses to suit the Challenger’s shorter wheelbase. If you combine the Challengers newfound traction with its size, you will get the most practical muscle car extant.

The price starts at $34.490, which is $6,400 above a base Challenger SXT and even $595 above the Hemi-powered R/T. This is balanced out by a higher level of standard equipment than either of those models, including Chrysler’s latest 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, 19-inch wheels, leather seats, and a heated steering wheel. On top of that, the Challenger GT is the only muscle coupe that would not have any problems in the winter.
