Make some noise, it did: the 2015 Challenger graced the covers of many car magazines lately, with smoking rear tires thanks to the new 707-hp, 650 lbs.-ft. Hellcat Hemi V8. Once the smoke cleared, we noticed that a subtle restyling took place, and a new dashboard appeared inside. The modern eight-speed automatic replaces the old five-speed in all versions (some Hemis are available with a manual as well). Dodge also brought back the Scat Pack package on the R/T.
