The Challenger will be built on the same chassis platform, albeit with a different wheelbase, as the 300C, Magnum & Charger. The 300C and Magnum are already available with the AWD option, so the design, engineering and parts are already in existence.
So the question becomes: will Chrysler do it? My guess is no, simply because the Mustang and upcoming Camaro won't have AWD.
I used to own a 1997 Trans Am WS6 (without traction control) and was forced to use it for one winter (in a northern climate) before I sold it. So I had it oil sprayed for rust prevention, put a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks on 16" rims and tossed 100lbs of gravel bags (because sandbags leak) in the trunk as ballast and had no issues at all, from a standing start I could even outrun FWD cars with all-season tires in a snowstorm. So a RWD Challenger shouldn't be a problem IMO.
Here's an article about the 300C AWD:
