Dodge Charger SRT Super Stock Is What Fan Really Want!

With the discontinuation of the Gen3 HEMI®-powered Dodge Charger (LD) and Challenger (LA) after 2023, Mopar fans have been loud and clear—they’re not ready to let go of V8 muscle. The new all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona (LB) models have sparked plenty of controversy, with slow sales confirming what many enthusiasts feared: the muscle car world still wants HEMI muscle under the hood.

While Dodge pushes forward with its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter HURRICANE I6-powered SIXPACK models, which promise more power than the old 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter HEMIs, it’s just not the same vibe. The heart wants what it wants—a good old-fashioned V8 under the hood. That’s where our friend and digital wizard Abimelec Arellano (@AbimelecDesign) comes in with his latest rendering.

What he’s cooked up is a HEMI-powered Dodge Charger SRT Super Stock concept, built off the new LB platform—and it’s everything fans have been begging for.

The car brings major Challenger SRT Super Stock energy, complete with a menacing dual-snorkel hood, just like the HELLCAT Redeye models we know and love. The body is finished in a Hellraisin-inspired hue that really brings out the curves of the new naturally widebody Charger design. Around back, massive Mickey Thompson slicks are wrapped around beadlock-style Weld Racing wheels, with Toyo Proxes R888R tires up front on lightweight 20-inch dual-5-spoke wheels—this thing is ready to hook and go.

Up top, a satin black treatment covers the hood, roof, and decklid—channeling vibes straight from the outrageous Demon 170. But it’s the rear spoiler that steals the show: borrowed from the Challenger’s optional “Barracuda” wing setup, it looks perfect on the new Charger coupe profile.

Quad exhaust tips blast out of the rear, making it very clear this isn’t an EV—this is a HEMI-powered beast meant to shake the pavement. While this is just a rendering, the design looks so complete and convincing, fans are already imagining it sitting on a dealer lot, key fob in hand.

If Dodge has any surprises in store for 2028 and beyond with a return to HEMI power, Abimelec’s design proves the blueprint is right here—bold, loud, and unapologetically muscle.
