A celebrated nameplate among muscle car enthusiasts, the Charger rolled out as a 1966 model with a two-door fastback design. Restyled into a personal luxury car in the ‘70s, then into a front-driven hatchback in the ‘80s, the Charger was revived after a 20-year absence on the LX platform.
It’s hard to believe the sixth generation dates back to 2005 for the 2006 model year, but as you already know, this nameplate keeps on keeping on with more horsepower than ever before, thanks to the Hellcat engine. Pixel artist Marouane Bembli would like more muscle from a visual standpoint, as well as two doors because that’s what a Charger used to mean in the past.
Starting off with a wide-bodied Scat Pack that features the 392 HEMI, the rendering in the following clip features a sloping roofline and side windows that wouldn’t look out of place on a two-door grand tourer from a European automaker such as Bentley. The biggest change is the shape of the LED-accented headlights, which complement the aggressive front fascia.
Cool though it may be, a two-door Charger doesn’t have a place in the current lineup because of the Challenger. While on the subject of muscle cars, it’s important to mention that Stellantis will redesign both of them in 2024 when Dodge intends to launch an all-wheel-drive electric muscle car.
Previewed at the Stellantis EV Day last month, the newcomer will be presented as a concept next year, according to Automotive News. The high-octane brand also plans to launch a plug-in hybrid production car next year, although we don’t know if we’re dealing with the Challenger or Charger. The plug-in hybrid part of the drivetrain may be represented by an electric motor integrated into the fourth-gen 8HP developed by ZF Friedrichshafen.
Although the lithium-ion battery will affect the car’s handling, don’t forget that an electric motor provides maximum torque from zero miles per hour. The most powerful configuration of the 8HP makes 160 kW (215 horsepower) and 450 Nm (332 pound-feet) of torque, according to the German supplier, which is an extremely tantalizing proposition in conjunction with a V8.
