2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK ICE Models Get Bold New Trim Names

2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK ICE Models Get Bold New Trim Names​

GT and Outlaw Badges Lead Dodge’s Next-Gen Gas-Powered Muscle Car Lineup​

Dodge is charging full speed ahead into the next chapter of American muscle, and this time, it’s doing so with a pair of brand-new nameplates for its internal combustion engine (ICE) variants of the 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK lineup. While the spotlight has been on the all-electric Charger Daytona, Dodge hasn’t forgotten its gas-burning faithful, and this week, we learned that the ICE-powered SIXPACK models are officially getting new identities: GT and Outlaw.

 
I'm not going to lie, I am truly excited about what Dodge is doing wth the Charger both ICE and EV. The best thing about this is, turbo engines respond very well to bolt on modifications and tunes so simple things will yield significant gains. I'm quite sure the aftermarket will be all over this new powertrain seeing that they're already doing alot with the Hurricane powered trucks so there is already love being shown to the new engine. It's not going to take a whole lot to boost the Outlaw to near hellcat levels of power and that could potentially happen with stock turbos. Give it a tune, a few bolt ons and some drag radials at all four corners and this car may creep past a stock Hellcat so there are alot of reasons to be excited. Yes, I know it will never sound like a V8, this is true but that doesn't mean that some aftermarket company can't make it sound really good. Idk, personally I'm 100% sold on the new cars, regardless of powertrain. If I had the money, I'd own them all.

It was reported at one point that the 2-door would get only the HO and the 4-door would get only the SO. Is that no longer the case?

Betting they got the full Sixpack lineup together in quicker succession in order to get sales back on track sooner than later.

Considering a spokesperson said that the S.O. was delayed to next year, I'm wondering if it's the 4 door Sixpack trims getting held back or if it's the GT engine itself? Would say the latter.
 
Marketing?!?!?!?! what? is this some sort of new concept? What is going on at STLA customers are supposed just stumble on your product not be marketed too.
 
I’m OK with a GT entry model, but that “Outlaw” moniker is not working for me. It will probably get push back from some purists as inappropriate and odd, like me, and there are names in the Dodge nomenclature that can work better. Let’s reevaluate this one Dodge. Trust me on this.
To the positive, having the SO Hurricane in the GT two door makes absolute sense and will assure an entry level price more enthusiasts could afford. I come from a time in my youth, the birth of the muscle car era, where “plain Jane” entry level “sleeper” models literally stalked the streets lurking in wait for gullible street race victims to augment their wallets and reputations. My street/strip 68 Charger 440 was haunted on the Clearview Expressway in Queens by an innocent looking black 327 four speed Nova that cost me my honor and occasionally my lunch money street racing almost every week end. This ghost still lives in my head.
My Point—- build that entry level GT Charger for those on a tight budget Dodge. It’s what needs to be done to get the Dodge show a kick start on these Six Pack coupes. The four doors will absolutely do well with this combination, trust me.

Impossible. I said that would happen a year ago and somebody on this forum told me there is no way. It's not happening. I'm crazy.
 
Wondering if the Law Enforcement version will still be called the Pursuit, and if it will have heavy duty upgrades like the previous models. I am also wondering when they will be available for municipalities to order. Many are winding down their 2023 Chargers and some have already switched to Durango’s in the last two years.
Good luck. Can’t wait to see them coming with those flashing lights!!!
