Default Chrysler Prices 2012 SRT8 Lineup

Chrysler Prices 2012 SRT8 Lineup



By Zach Bowman
Posted Jul 15th 2011 9:27AM

Chrysler has announced pricing on four of the company's new SRT models, including The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8, 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 and the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

According to Automotive News, buyers looking to jump into the 470-horsepower Charger with its scowling bodywork and 12-second quarter mile time can expect to be met with a $46,660 MSRP, including an $825 shipping and destination fee. The Charger's two-door cousin, the 2012 Challenger SRT8, comes saddled with a moderately cheaper $44,077 price tag, though the gap narrows somewhat when you realize that the car gets hit with a $1,500 gas guzzler tax in automatic guise and a $1,000 tax when equipped with the six-speed manual gearbox. Sounds like all the more reason to row your own cogs to us.

Step off of the Dodge lot and into the Chrysler showroom, and the 2012 300 SRT8 will set you back $47,995 thanks to some additional luxury bits.

Which vehicle is the most expensive of the SRT flock? That title goes to the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with its $55,295 entry price.

Everyone who purchases an SRT vehicle gets a one-day track experience to help them understand how to better control their vehicle, a move that sounds like a good investment to us. Hit the jump for the gaggle of press releases on these vehicles.

I still think that new Charger is a good looking vehicle. A guy here at my office bought a new one - I can't stop staring at it. An SRT version would be sweet, but the price is out of my league.

The pricing isn't bad. The G8 GXP cost nearly that much over two years ago and the only other American muscle car like them is the CTS-V which is substantially more.

Do the big wigs at Nissan know that a picture of the GT-R is being used for this article?

^Great point. For that Id rather have a Vette or a used CTS-V. The charger is sexy though so is the new 300.
Trishield any recent news on the rebadged G8?

Dodge and Ram's are the best looking cars in their respective classes but Damn are they pricey and overweight!!
And that front end's got a honkin big mouth, but it looks damn good!
