Dodge Makes Debut At The Catalunya GP In Spain...
Dodge Europe kicked off its debut as the “Official Vehicle” partner of the 2024 WorldSBK Championship during the second round of competition at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain.

Aligning seamlessly with Dodge’s signature ethos of strength and audacity, this partnership is a match made in adrenaline-fueled heaven. With an exclusive fleet of five high-performance vehicles, Dodge Europe is poised to take the WorldSBK Championship by storm.
At the forefront of this exhilarating alliance are the iconic Dodge Challenger SRT HELLCATs, blazing a trail as the Official Safety Cars of the competition. Powered by the legendary supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® HELLCAT V8 engine delivering 717 horsepower under the hood, ensuring they’re more than ready to tackle any challenges the track throws their way.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Dodge Europe is also rolling out the heavy artillery with the Dodge Durango SRT392 and Durango SRT HELLCAT, stepping into the pivotal roles of Race Director and FIM Safety Officer official vehicles. With their robust engines and uncompromising performance, these vehicles are primed to navigate the complexities of race-day operations with ease.
What sets Dodge Europe’s fleet apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity. These are no modified race cars; they’re straight from the showroom floor, embodying the raw power and precision that define the Dodge experience.
