What’s technically “funny” but actually has zero sense of humor? This issue, the new 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Funny Vehicle that was freshly unveiled by Mopar at the 2014 SEMA show. Okay, it is a little funny looking, but don’t say that to its face.
The 2015 Charger R/T Funny Vehicle is the very first collaboration in between the production and racing engineers at Mopar, Dodge, and Don Schumacher Racing since the last Charger R/T Funny Automobile was introduced way back in 2006. The redesigned physique is aesthetically a small far more cab-rearward than before, and it utilizes Kevlar and carbon to increase strength and durability while lowering w7 Unless you are an NHRA fan, you’re almost certainly thinking: Does weight matter when you have got about 10,000 horsepower at your beck and call? Completely. When the difference between a win and a loss can come down to a single one-thousandth of a second, each gram counts. (These automobiles weigh about 2400 pounds, like the driver. Nice power-to-weight ratio, eh?)
The red and black paint scheme is especially sinister, although it is unlikely that we’ll see it raced in that livery, at least not with no a billion sponsor stickers plastered all over the thing. The side scallops are a new feature for the vehicle, and we’re told they have a neutral effect on aero but do some thing for the body rigidity just as critical from a spectator standpoint, they aid make it appear more like the production 2015 Charger. Other Charger-isms consist of the front- and rear-finish graphics, which are just as distinctive as these of the actual car. And even the window line has that Charger kink.
Speaking of windows, the most significant improvement, according to DSR driver Matt Hagan, is outward vision. The greenhouse has been moved back toward the driver, resulting in 10 degrees of additional side view and twice as a lot upward visibility, therefore offering a panoramic view of the world as its topographical functions stretch into time-warp blur. “When I sat in it, my ‘lights’ time enhanced,” Hagan said of his reaction time to the drag-strip beginning lights. “I truly believe it is going to improve the driving capacity of anybody fortunate adequate to get behind the wheel. Producing Friday-evening qualifying runs with the new physique is going to be so significantly fun.”
The new design also optimizes clearances for injectors, blowers, and the engine itself, Dodge says, as effectively as gives enhanced downforce to hold the issue on the ground at the 300-plus mph that the automobile will regularly see in competitors.
The Charger R/T Funny Auto has some fast shoes to fill, provided that the last 1 earned 68 Funny Car occasion titles, was the initial vehicle to run the quarter in less than 4 seconds in 2011 (which it has carried out 10 more instances since), and has seen 320 mph “many times,” according to Dodge. We will be watching to see if it certainly fills the footwear when it charges out to Pomona, California, for its racing debut subsequent February at the 2015 Winternationals.
