2010 Dodge Charger: The Last Year of the First Modern Body

This record's own overview states that Chrysler's 2010 engineering guides document four V-8 Charger configurations, R/T with rear- or all-wheel drive at 368 horsepower and 395 lb-ft, R/T with the Road/Track Performance Group at 372 horsepower and 400 lb-ft, and the SRT8 at 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft, all paired with five-speed automatics. It adds that Dodge billed the 2010 SRT8 as the quickest sedan in its lineup, claiming 0-100-0 mph in under 17 seconds, that Chrysler reported 75,397 US Charger sales for calendar 2010, and that the redesigned 2011 Charger followed with a body and powertrains this record notes explicitly do not apply to the 2010 car.^1,2,3,4

This record's own key facts restate the three V-8 horsepower figures, 368 for R/T, 372 for R/T with Road/Track, and 425 for SRT8, and the 75,397-unit calendar-2010 sales figure. Its production rows carry that same sales figure with a note explaining it is calendar-year data that includes early 2011-model sales, a caveat this record is careful to repeat rather than let the figure stand as if it cleanly isolated the 2010 model year alone.^1,4

This record's own production rows also carry 6,030 Chargers built globally in TorRed across all 2010 models, and a total row that reuses the 75,397-unit sales figure as the best available substitute, since the record's own notes state that no 2010 model-year production total was ever published. The same notes add that the factory limited-paint table lists only TorRed for 2010, with no special edition listed for the year at all, a gap the record leaves unexplained rather than filling with a claim its own sources do not support.^5,4

This record's own engines section documents the 5.7-liter HEMI VVT V-8 at both 368 horsepower on R/T and 372 horsepower with the Road/Track Performance Group, the 6.1-liter SRT HEMI at 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft for the SRT8, the 2.7-liter V-6 at 178 horsepower standard on SE, and the 3.5-liter V-6 at 250 horsepower standard on SXT. Its transmissions section documents the W5A580 five-speed automatic on R/T and SRT8 and the 42RLE four-speed automatic on SE and SXT RWD.^1,2

This record's own prices section documents six separate R/T and R/T AWD price points across what its own labels call "discontinued" and continuing style codes, from $31,370 up to $34,445 MSRP, alongside SRT8 at $38,180 against a $36,271 dealer invoice. Its options section documents the Road/Track Performance Group by name, an SXT and R/T Popular Equipment Group each with their own feature list, and a Super Track Pack for the R/T RWD with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires, a larger rear stabilizer bar, front and rear Nivomat shocks, a 3.06 axle and less-intrusive electronic stability control.^6,1

This record's own specifications section documents a curb-weight range of 3,728 to 4,268 pounds across the line plus an estimated 4,160 pounds for the SRT8, and turning diameters of 38.9 feet for RWD against 38.8 feet for AWD. Its performance section carries the single 0-100-0-mph manufacturer claim already stated in the overview, and its identification and conflicts sections are both empty for 2010, the last model year of the first modern Charger body this record's own overview identifies before the 2011 redesign.^1,2
