High-performance Dodge vehicles have been displaying the R/T badge since the late 1960s, when it debuted on the 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T that muscled up with your choice of the 440-cubic-inch Magnum V8 with 375 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque or the 426 Elephant Hemi good for at least 425 horses.
