The Chrysler Group has announced that they are now accepting orders for the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker models, bringing even more retro styling to the already extensive Challenger lineup – with orders for the more powerful Scat Pack Shaker beginning next month.

When the Chrysler Group rolled out the 2015 Dodge Challenger at the 2014 New York International Auto Show, we didn’t get to meet the Hellcat right away, but we did see a variety of packages including a couple with the awesome new Shaker hood. The Challenger Shaker was reintroduced for the 2014 model year as part of a special edition package, but they proved tough to get when they sold out in less than a week. Based on the popularity of the 2014 Challenger Shaker, prospective buyers were excited at the prospect of being able to buy a 2015 Challenger with the Shaker hood, but when the 2015 models went on sale late last year – the Shaker package was not on the list.
Due to the high number of trimlines and packages for the 2015 Dodge Challenger, the company decided to make the Shaker packages late availability, with the plan to begin selling 2015 Challenger Shaker models in the spring. Well, it turns out that while that groundhog in Pennsylvania doesn’t think that an early spring is coming – the Chrysler Group does.
Starting today, the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker is available for order, with a price starting at $35,495 plus destination.
“After selling out last year’s Shaker model production in just four days, our hardcore Challenger customers demanded we bring back the Shaker – plus offer more power and more performance,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO, Dodge and SRT Brands. “We listened, and for 2015, the new Dodge Challenger lineup offers the legendary Shaker hood expanded to include our 485 horsepower HEMI V-8 delivering up to 113 more horsepower than last year, plus even more track-proven hardware and technology – a combination our enthusiasts have been waiting for.”
2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker
When the 2015 Dodge Challenger went on sale last year, it was offered in SXT, SXT Plus, R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Scat Pack and SRT 392 trim, with the SRT Hellcat models following soon after. Starting today, two more trimlines join that list, with the arrival of the R/T Shaker and R/T Plus Shaker. As you may have guessed, each of these two packages build on the R/T and R/T Plus models, both of which pack the 5.7L Hemi with 375 horsepower and 410lb-ft of torque.
The R/T Shaker (above in Sublime Green) package add the awesome Shaker hood, Satin Black Shaker graphic stripes, chrome Shaker hood badges, a black deck-lid spoiler, Parkview backup camera, “Shaker” startup screen on the infotainment system, Satin Black fuel door, projection fog lights, unique 20 inch wheels with black pockets and black cloth performance seats. More importantly, the R/T Shaker package includes the Super Track Pak, which adds Bilstein shocks, lowering springs, high performance brakes, three mode stability control with full off and three season Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

The 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker comes with all of the features of the R/T Plus Shaker model, but the Scat Pack Shaker comes with the 392 cubic inch Hemi, which delivers 485 horsepower and 475lb-ft of torque.
