Last year, the Dodge Challenger finally managed to outsell the Ford Mustang as America’s best-selling muscle car. Despite being nearly 14 years old now, the Challenger saw a three-percent increase in deliveries to a total of 54,314 sales, leaving the Mustang second with 52,414 sales. It’s too early to tell whether the Challenger will keep its momentum in 2022, but one thing we know for sure is that it has lost one of its very important options.
Road and Track discovered you can no longer configure a 2022 Challenger Hellcat with a manual gearbox if you go to Dodge’s official online configurator. There are countless options for visual enhancements, different equipment packages, and a number of engines, but the three-pedal transmission is not there anymore for the V8-powered Hellcat version. The only available transmission as of this writing is the Torqueflite eight-speed automatic.
