Mopar Teases Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK For SEMA

Mopar Teases Purple Dodge Charger SIXPACK For SEMA​

Mopar Gets Ready To Show Off Custom SIXPACK Coupe Next Month​


1759961247101.png

As November approaches, the excitement for the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show is starting to build — and Mopar is fanning the flames. Earlier today, the brand dropped its first teaser for what’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about reveals at this year’s event: a “Moparized” Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK finished in a striking new Purple color.

 
When will we learn about the 2026 Grand Cherokee?
We're only about a month away from Job 1/SORP.
 
Any OFFICAL date on when these ICE Chargers will start showing up in dealer showrooms and dealer lots? Just seems it is being stretched out. It is almost mid-October. Was hoping to see them in September.
 
The Charger is elegant and sleek, but too large and heavy to project a muscle impression. Not to say there are those out there who do see an exciting family vehicle, especially in four doors than can be very successful in the large performance car segment, but with some after market changes. Mopar must offer some “aggressiveness” touches for the Charger Six Pack including graphics, hoods with far more aggressive hood scopes and heat extractors, ground effects and yes computer stage tune upgrades for the Hurricane. I’ll leave that to Mopar, but the palette is wide open for these changes. Charger can go from elegant to mean with some new Mopar Performance magic. Call it “witchcraft”.
Of course for Dodge, the need for a shorter, lighter Challenger V-8 powered real muscle car that is not family oriented but geared head focused is the product that will take Dodge back to its muscle car credentials.
Let’s hope this is only the first injection of mean for Charger, it needs that badly.
 
It's no secret that the Charger definitely needs love from SRT and Direct Connection. I still stand firmly on my love for this generation of the Charger and the way it separates itself from being a pony car or a sports car with its size, weight and mission. By now, we all realize that a V8 is coming to the lineup soon and that more than likely it will be a supercharged 5.7L Hemi V8 making around the same 650hp it makes in the truck, potentially taking over the Daytona nameplate from the EV Variant, positioning itself as the most powerful Non-SRT Charger ever produced and still being CARB friendly. The writing is already on the wall. But before we go too far down that rabbit-hole, let's speculate what this "Moparized" Charger could bring to the table.

1.) Styling and accessories: As it stands, the Charger is a big beautiful car that has alot of the right curves and angles, proudly putting it's muscle car heritage on display. However, the car is truly lacking in alot of ways. Mopar Muscle cars have always had cool hoods, scalloped doors, sculpted sides, big spoilers (Gull Wings, Go Wings, THE DAYTONA WING! and even the regular two-post spoilers), Graphics, cool wheels and all kinds of need little quirks that made them awesome. That needs to continue with this car we have right now. This car needs spoiler options, hood options, ground effects, graphics, light upgrades (headlights and taillamps) wheel options, etc. Brake caliper color options need to be addressed as well. Inside the car definitely needs different color options besides just black and red. It needs that Laguna Sephia option, it needs houndstooth options in black and orange, or black and tan or even black and a dark coffee brown. The car needs the LED airbag horn cover with options of the Fratzog logo, R/T, Scat Pack & Daytona LED emblems in the center that lights up with the same options as the rest of the interior mood lighting. The car could use some cool Direct Connection shifter options and that Alpine subwoofer system that was at Roadkill nights next to the supercharged Ram 1500 truck.

2.) Power: A 420hp Charger R/T and a 550hp Charger Scat Pack aren't anything to sneeze at. Doesn't mean that more power isn't needed. Direct Connection kits that offer tunes, the new-gen K&N intake, smoother, larger intercooler piping and intercoolers, blow off valves, injectors, fuel pump upgrades, better catted down pipes, Direct Connection by Magnaflow exhaust systems (in different sound levels) and things like that would be pretty nice along with suspension packages and parts, Brake packages, and other things that would draw customers in to Direct Connection and SRT upgrades.

Think we are on the same page. Maybe the artistic talent at MI could give us some computer generated renditions of Chargers to gage reactions. Hopefully this Mopar/DC Charger concept will be more than superficial and start the ball rolling on some things folks can add to make a statement. I’d love to see Chrysler spin off a 300 from the Charger sedan that takes its natural elegance to a higher level for those who want to go in that direction of luxury. Time to get serious.
 
The issue this car has is weight. The old cars were made fun of and bullied for 15 years because of their porky status. This new car tacks on another 500 lbs. It's ridiculous. So, it's going to need MORE power from the Hemi lineup than it previously had, otherwise those will be DOA also. I can see the magazine articles now: " The new car finished our showdown slower than the last car we tested three years ago." A new, more expensive car that's slower is not going to go over well in this segment. Maybe people in the traditional sedan space don't care (see Camry), but people buying Chargers and Mustangs do.

And as far as the Sixpack models go, they should make those a lot less expensive and treat them as base models. I think then they'd sell well. We've already seen that 0-60 and 1/4 mile times didn't improve over the old Scat Pack cars, so why try to sell them at a premium? You've got to be progressive. I have ZERO reason to trade my 12 year old SRT8 for a 2026 Charger that isn't any faster, tunable, or readily modified.

C'mon Dodge, throw us a bone here.
 
I finally saw one rolling down the highway, a red Daytona, and the car has PRESENCE. But the flip side of that is the styling gets wonky at the back, the c pillar and hatch just….something amiss there

Other color options can help. A Plum Crazy Scat Pack would be EXTREMELY tempting

I would love to collaborate ideas with anyone who has the ability to do 3D renders!!!!!!!! I have sooooooo many ideas!!!!

Rear window throws it off mostly for what everyone's mind thinks about when we think about a 68-70 charger, which is what this car looks like
 
Maybe this is just my viewpoint but I don't see a reason why the Charger isn't as customizable as the Mustang. I also don't see why Direct Connection & SRT can't be for the Charger, Durango, Wrangler and 1500 what Steeda and Roush are for the Mustang, Bronco, Explorer and F150. Tunes, Intakes, suspensions, authorized aftermarket upgrades such as hoods, wheels, aero packages, spoilers, lights, steering wheels, brakes, graphics, etc. I'm not just talking about the 24+ Charger, I'm talking about from 05-10, 11-14, 15-23 Chargers, 11+ Durangos, etc.
