The designation 'Challenger' was programmatic: the 1970 Dodge challenged the Mercury Cougar, the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. The R/T version (R/T: Road & Track) Special Edition with vinyl roof shown in this photo was powered by a 6.4 liter V8 with 290 hp as standard; the most powerful, optionally available engine for the R/T Special Edition was the seven-liter Hemi V8 with 425 hp. This engine powered not only the Challenger but also the Super Bee, the Coronet R/T and the Charger R/T – and was optionally available in each case. Through its leading role in the movie 'Vanishing Point', the Challenger R/T, of which just under 20,000 units were built, became a cult car.
