The second-generation Dodge Charger R/T, built from 1968 to 1970, is an icon of the Muscle Car era in the USA. Known for its aggressive design and powerful handling, the Charger R/T was designed by the talented designer Harvey J. Winn and further developed by engineers John D. Ellis and Barry Holliday. Under the hood of the R/T (Road/Track) lies the legendary 426 HEMI V8 engine, delivering 425 horsepower. The Charger R/T was one of the most powerful and sought-after cars of its time, significantly influencing American automotive history. In 1968, when the Dodge Charger R/T was introduced, significant historical events like the release of The Beatles' album "The White Album," the continuation of the Vietnam War, and the introduction of the Boeing 747 in commercial aviation took place - examples that help us understand the timeframe of this exceptional vehicle.
