The 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T (Road/Track) could be equipped with a large array of V8 engines including a 426cu HEMI V8, which was one of the most powerful motors besides the "Six Pack" 440cu V8.

In 1972, the 1971 Challenger R/T underwent a minor facelift.

Games[]

Need for Speed: World[]

The Challenger R/T was added to Need for Speed: World on June 27, 2010 during the final beta test session as a tier 1 vehicle. Since August 22, 2012, it has an E class rating of 175, the lowest of any car in the game.

The Challenger R/T is the worst starter vehicle, since it has poor handling due to sluggish steering and weak acceleration. It also has a poor nitrous boost but makes it up with an average top speed of 131 mph (212 km/h).
