The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Is Totally Coming-May 2024

Image for article titled The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Is Totally Coming

regularly gives its muscle cars both and makeovers on top of their same, ancient roots, and we eat it up. We really do. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Thus, Dodge keeps pumping new ideas out, like a potential wide-body version of its 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat.

Stop trying to hide it. You know you haven’t been this excited for fender flares since, well, ever. Embrace your allegiance to the ever-aging Dodge lineup that somehow still feels new and exciting .

Fiat Chrysler hasn’t officially announced a wide-bodied Charger Hellcat yet (a has been around for a while,because that car often gets more of the love in the features department), but instead posted a video called “Something big is coming...” on Wednesday. It’s a fitting title.

The video shows a Charger Hellcat hidden by a white sheet—hinted at by the very obvious SRT and Hellcat logos showing through—and says a lot over the course of 14 seconds:

Just behind the headlight on the viewer’s left, there’s the curved bulge we all know so well: massive fender flares, which aren’t currently an option on the Charger. The sheet begins to lift off toward the end of the video, with the screen going black just before its bottom lip uncovers the front fender.

A wide-body Charger “concept” that Dodge showed off earlier this year.

Dodge debuted a wide-body Charger “concept” ,only adding to the idea that a production version of the age-old modification was inevitable. It remains inevitable—just more real, now that Dodge seems to be teasing us with it. The video didn’t say anything about a release date or other details on the car, aside from the fact that something is “coming soon.”

Go ahead with your bad self, Dodge. Slap some fender flares on the same old car we’re more than acquainted with, and we’ll squeal and clap like it’s the greatest thing since the last minor modification you put into your muscle car lineup(s). That’s just how this relationship works.

It’s difficult to overstate how influential the original was upon its global release in 1998. Sony was aware of this, as you can tell from that grandiose marketing claim you see above, from a print ad in the run-up to the game’s release that, yeah — actually turned out...

What would you do with one of just 10 Porsche 356 Pre-A roadsters imported into your country as new? Hopefully, the answer isn’t “leave it sitting in a field for two decades with the roof open.” That was the fate that befell this beautiful early Porsche, a car that...
