Dodge is looking to make some noise this weekend as the 10th annual MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge kicks off. The brand has teased that it will reveal a new “muscle” vehicle on Friday, August 8th, and for a company that’s been struggling in 2025, this moment couldn’t come soon enough.

Sooo, presumably the gas charger?
I mean, it's a big deal, but does not warrant the "secret car" act for something everyone expects.

I will be thoroughly surprised, and pleased if this is truly a new vehicle.
 
So a 2 door Charger with the I6.

I mean, we all knew it was coming.
Don't quite understand the secrecy and showmanship.
 
I assume it’s the gas Charger. Who cares, we know

There is no Barracuda.

I like it to be a new Challenger that looks just as good as the previous one, and V8 powered, but I’ll be disappointed because that’s not what it is
 
That doesn't look like the Charger under that tarp guys. Charger's door handle doesn't stick out like that for one, that front end is different and those wheel openings are different as well. Grille area looks different too

I can sorta see that, but also could just be the way the image / cover is.

Not holding out hope.
 
Well since that car under cover isn’t an official Dodge media release could it just be an AI rendering? Here is the official dodge release and see how they use the charger. Come on guys we all know it’s a Charger hurricane ice version

Mopar Willy Dodge Wish List:
1- Dodge Viper, V-10, automatic and manual, fastback and convertible. Affordable at Corvette prices.
2- Dodge Cuda/Challenger, Hemi lineup exclusively, shorter, lighter Charger spin-off with very distinct and aggressive styling. Drag Pack version announced.
3- Dodge Charger with Hemi lineup, including Hellcat engine, NASCAR version announced.
4- Dodge Charger Six Pack lineup with a SRT AWD version announced. More Direct Connection upgrades offered.
It’s a wish list, but really a must do thing for old Willy.
 
Unfortunately, I don't think we can expect too much. Filosa hasn't been in charge for long and Stellantis doesn't have the budget that they had in previous years. Even when they had budgets for new cars most of that money went to the European and South American markets. I expect the car reveal to be the new Hurricane Charger, although it could also be a Hemi Charger. Either way, it is a Charger. I would love to be wrong, though.
 
Dodge Community on Instagram posted a clip with a supercharger whine.

Because People on this Forum IS NOT EVERYONE. NO WHERE CLOSE

The Marketing the Hurricane has been a level of INCOMPETENCE not seen since the PE guys ran the company.

Hardly anyone in the General public knows there is Gas Charger on the way, Hardly anyone in general public know the Hurricane outperforms the Hemi cars except the Hellcat... and with a tune that will be close.

SRT HellCat Charger would be nice.... But I expect the Hurricane and YES it will be new to 95% of the Public

I think it's just the angle the more I've been looking at it now that I'm not half sleep.
 
I am seriously looking forward to this event Saturday! High hopes!!!!

I think it’ll be this car that’s been hiding in plain sight for a while now.

I think it’ll be the V8 and I think it’ll wear the ‘Cuda/Barracuda name. Whether that means a new car or just a trim who knows.

Reallllllly hoping I’m right on the V8 part. I couldn’t care less what they call it 😂
 
Why is everybody so hung up on the Barracuda name? I can’t see slapping the Barracuda or even Cuda on a Dodge. It was a Plymouth!! Dodge had the Challenger, which was the Dodge version of the Plymouth Barracuda. Nothing wrong with keeping the name Challenger on the new car if and when it comes out.

If it’s V8 and RWD or (even better for me personally) AWD with full rear wheel drive mode… well I’ll be delighted.

I only think it’ll be Cuda because of the website. Simply a hunch

Gentlemen, in a little over 24-hours, those of us who are going to Roadkill Nights are going to be there on the ground to finally see everything first hand live and in person. Hopes, dreams, fears, excitement and for some, maybe a slight amount of disappointment await us all on this amazing and crazy weekend. We are going to finally see what has been building up to all of this. I'm beyond excited!!
