The 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T and the 2020 Toyota 86 6A GT have different exterior designs, but both certainly look like performance-oriented sports cars. How do these two compare where it counts the most: under the hood?
Dodge Challenger R/T Power
Engine: 5.7 L HEMI V8 Torque: 400 lb.-ft Horsepower: 372 Wheels: 20†Satin Carbon Aluminum
 Toyota 86 6A GT Power
Engine: 2.0 L w/VVT Torque: 151 lb.-ft Horsepower: 200 Wheels: 17†Matte Grey Forged
Â
When it comes to performance, there is really no contest between the Dodge and the Toyota. The 2021 R/T has a larger 5.7 HEMI V8 engine that doubles up the horsepower. However, its Variable Valve Timing and gas-saving Multi-Displacement System (MDS), coupled with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, bring good fuel efficiency. The Challenger gets 9.4 L/100 km on the highway.Â
At the same time, the 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T has a sport mode, electric power steering, and well-tuned suspension that make it as fun to drive and agile as the smaller Toyota.Â
