Dodge Charger

Dodge and SRT today officially took wraps off of its beastliest Charger yet – an aggressively kitted-out version of the world’s only muscle car sedan that’s just that much more bonkers. The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody may have a long name, but it’s a wiiiiiide car.

Dodge has announced a new limited edition package for the already very cool Charger SRT Hellcat. The package is called the Octane Edition, and it offers what looks like a pretty good bang for the buck.

Word has it that like the Dodge Challenger, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is going to get the widebody treatment, and we’ve been waiting to see pictures of the ride in the wild. Someone happened upon what appears to be the finished car filming a commercial.

Despite its aging platform, Dodge continues to keep its four-door muscle car fresh. After releasing a widebody Challenger, rumors were swirling that a new Widebody Challenger might be next. Now, those rumors have come true – at least in concept form.

Look at this matte black beast right here. Armormax offers a Dodge Charger Hellcat modded with some features you certainly can’t get from the factory. One major change is an available in-house installed all-wheel-drive system that sends power from that big, blown Hemi V8 to all four wheels.

Growing up, I absolutely loved The Dukes of Hazzard. I liked to ride my three-wheeler on two wheels just to be more like Bo and Luke. At the time I didn’t think that the Charger the guys drove was a particularly cool car aside from the fact that they drove it.

Recently we spent some time in the magical, if flawed, 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat. While the car was in our possession, we arranged a bit of a photo shoot to take some epic pictures of the car to share with you all.

“The most powerful production sedan in the world.” Let those words sink in for a moment. Of all the cars in the world that have four doors, this Charger from Dodge has them all beat. It doesn’t matter if the manufacturer is Mercedes-Benz or Rolls Royce, they’re all less-powerful than this Dodge.

While the Dodge Challenger and Charger both received facelifts in the last few years, both cars have been basically on the same heavy chassis for over 10 years now. This puts them at a pretty big weight disadvantage compared to their more recently redesigned competition.

The Dodge Charger Scat Pack is a heck of a deal. Some would argue, including me, that the Scat Pack is a better overall value than the 707 horsepower Hellcat. But the Scat Pack is hardly perfect, and the 2017 Charger Daytona looks to rectify those issue and add a splash of heritage.

To meet strict government fuel economy regulations, automakers are feeling a lot of pressure to slim down cars, and move away from gas slurping V8s to smaller engines. The Dodge Charger in its current form is a massive beast tipping the scales at up to 4,000 to 4,500 pounds, and is powered by a beefy V8 in some forms.

Of all the muscle cars of the ’60s and ’70s, one of my favorites is the 1970 Dodge Charger. Built by Wisconsin outfit Speedkore, the Tantrum is a very special custom Charger car with a carbon fiber front end, but mostly looks stock with lots of OMG ladled in.

If I had to pick a single word to describe the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track, it would be “brash,” and I mean that in the best of ways. If I were permitted to use other words in my vocabulary starting with the letter “b,” I’d also call it “bold,” “beautiful,” and “brawny.” While the Charger has been back in the lineup for almost 10 years now, Dodge has been clear that they aren’t resting on their laurels, and has continued to improve and refine upon what was already a pretty damned solid car.
