“There’s no better place to unveil a new performance direction for the Dodge brand than right on Woodward Avenue in metro Detroit, with tens of thousands of our closest fans and friends,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge//SRT CEO. “We introduced our two-year Never Lift road map last year at Roadkill Nights, and this year the event will serve as the prelude to going wide-open throttle on Never Lift. All I can say is the future of our brand will be on display during Dodge Speed Week, and we’re throwing open our garage doors so our fans can get a peek for themselves. It’s going to be an “electric” summer for Dodge.”

It has been no secret that Dodge will introduce two new vehicles this summer. One vehicle is the all-new 2023 Dodge Hornet C-UV. The new crossover will share much of its design with the new Alfa Romeo Tonale. It will be the first electrified Dodge production vehicle, featuring a 1.3-liter plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) powertrain. It will also feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder, for those looking for added performance.

It is believed that the Hornet will be unveiled this summer. We are told production of the Hornet, should begin sometime in Q4 2022 (pending the ongoing semiconductor shortages). If it does reach production in Q4 in Italy, we expect with shipping across the Atlantic that Hornet could arrive in early Q1 2023.

The other vehicle will be a conceptual version of the next-generation Dodge Challenger battery-electric vehicle (BEV) eMuscle car. It will be the first 100% electric Dodge vehicle once it hits the market in 2024. Dodge has teased us with a few images during the Stellantis EV Day 2021 presentation.

The car will be based on the STLA Large architecture, a derviative of the Giorgio architecture that underpins the award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio. Expect a 800-volt architecture and up to 1,200 horsepower of paving melting power through an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.
