The 2013 Charger with a 5.7-liter Hemi delivers 370 horsepower.
The figure applies to the R/T trim, which used the 5.7L Hemi and paired it with a five-speed automatic transmission. In the same year, Dodge offered a broader Charger lineup that included smaller V6 engines and even higher-performance V8s for SRT models, but the 5.7L Hemi in the R/T stood as the core V8 option for everyday performance.
