The year 1966 saw the launch of the Charger and in the preceding its launch it sold around 37,000 cars. The car had a power producing capacity of 500 bhp and it came with a 7.0 litre hemi engine. The official rating said that the car could produce 425 bhp but in actual it was designed to produce more and this is one of the main reasons why the car became so popular. It only took the car five and a half seconds to reach a speed on 100 km/hr. the engine of the car was discontinued after 1972.
The three main iterations of the Dodge Charger produced were a mid-sized
(B-body) car from 1966 to 1978, a subcompact
(L-body) car from 1983 to 1987 and the
(LX and LY) full-sized sedan built since 2006.
The name was also carried by a
1999 concept car that differed substantially from the Charger eventually placed into production for the 2006 model year. A similar name, the
Ramcharger, was used for the truck-based vehicle.
The name Charger was also used in
Brazil as sport car based on the Dart, between 1970 and 1980.
