The return of Dodge’s internal combustion engine (ICE) muscle cars is just around the corner, and the upcoming 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK models are already making waves. Fresh off the truck from the Windsor Assembly Plant, several Charger SIXPACK models were recently spotted in a holding lot in Metro Detroit. This marks one of the first sightings of the highly anticipated two-door coupe and four-door sedan versions stateside.

Absolutely in love!!!! can't wait to see this thing in real life!!!!!!!!! Once the aftermarket gets a hold of this car it's going to be a wrap!!!!! I am 100% sold on this! Yes I know the Hurricane has it's issues IDC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it!!!! I can't wait to see this thing in all black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I see Demon "Air grabber" hood & '71 style louvered power dome hood options, Demon style front spoiler, aggressive side splitters, upgraded rear diffusers, Redeye style spoilers, full suspension upgrades building on SRT tech from the Demon and Demon 170 for launch control, graphics, so many wheel options and crazy turbo builds and bolt on turbo upgrade kits, etc for this car
 
I’ve more than made my thoughts known on the mess that Stellantis made in managing the launch of the Charger. But do not misconstrue that criticism as condemning the Charger or ignoring its potential.
Listed are my negatives.
1- Launching the all-electric Daytona first was a huge blunder. Launched with flaws and rushed to market. Could there have been a worse marketing failure?
2- Labeling the Charger a “muscle car” was pushing the definition too far.
3- Pricing the Launch Edition Daytona in the stratosphere of gauging levels was so outrageous, it just insulted and alienated the brand base.
4- Not listening to Dodge staff about the chemistry of the brand was so wrong.
Listed are my positives.
1- The Charger is a gorgeous full size “Performance” car. Stunning!
2- The interior is a monumental step forward and exciting as well.
3-The Six Packs are just an outstanding piece of engineering taking the Charger to a new level of all around performance car. These will sell.
4- The four door Six Packs potentially will outsell the previous generation Charger.
5- The Charger Daytona has the potential, once it’s refined, to turn the all electric segment on its ear as bringing style and excitement to the segment. The anti-Tesla. Too bad Dodge did not see this as a niche vehicle.
6- As stated here, the enhancement potential is amazing both appearance and performance. I see no need for a V-8, at least not now, if ever.
7- It makes the need for a smaller, lighter V-8 powered Challenger absolutely clear.

So If Stellantis did put a V8 under the hood of a smaller, lighter Challenger, what would it be? and are we talking like Mustang/Camaro small or viper small? How would u spec this beast?
 
btw anyone who follows Ralph Gillies on Instagram, he did a really slick sneak peek of the Daytona 4 door. it's blue

So every know Mustang is on life support, the Chevy might come back a EV or REV.

How how is a small V8 STLA cost justified given this, and why would you put a heavier and less hp engine in the performance vehicle.

I am all for V8 Charger and nostalgia model, I am sure people will buy it, I wouldn't pay to be slower. And throw away version of Ram just to see it exists. Just make pure margin on the selection.

But is I am going small affordable sports I am going with the Hurricane4 V2 with the new ZF Transmission your talking 480hp and light. And if you heard a Gulia it can be made to sound nice.

I’d use the next generation V-8 under development not the current Hemi. Double the investment and complexity in reengineering in short time frame.
I believe a Challenger replacement was in deep development based on the STLA Large platform which will welcome the new V-8 perhaps a Hemi so developing both the AWD Challenger and new V-8 together will bring the “Muscle Car” hot rod lovers are demanding in a relatively short time. Sharing platform and architecture with the AWD Charger will make things move quickly. The next generation Hemi was reported to be moving swiftly to adoption. Use it.
