Dodge has unveiled its latest turn-key, track-only, drag racing car at SEMA 2019. The car is the 2020 Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak. It's built for racers who run in the sportsman classes in races sanctioned by the NHRA and NMCA. Dodge says the new Drag Pak builds on the lessons leaked in the thrid-gen Drag Pak car.
Dodge has revealed the sticker price for the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody, and when it comes to affordable excesses of horsepower there's very little competition. Announced earlier this year, the fiercest version of the four-door sedan supplies 707 horsepower but at a fraction of the price of a supercar.
Dodge has announced a new limited-edition model for the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the launch of the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. The monster muscle car is a limited edition with only 501 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition cars to be made.
Dodge has pulled the wraps off a pair of high performance 2020 Dodge Charger models that both have a very attractive widebody look to them. The cars are the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody and the 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody. Both of the new widebody models will land at dealerships in early 2020 with the order banks opening this fall.
Dodge was at the 2019 Tire Rack One Lap of America event that started on May 4 to defend its Truck/SUV class win last year. The vehicle Dodge took to the event was a one-of-a-kind ringer that was built to dominate. The special Durango SRT SUV was dubbed "Speed Trap" and packs a 797hp supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8.
If you've always wanted to drop 1,000 horsepower-worth of supercharged V8 into your daily-driver, great news: Mopar's Hellephant crate engine is almost here. The latest madness from Fiat Chrysler Automobile's performance parts arm, it's an astonishingly affordable way to get some serious American muscle under your hood.
The age of the huge, supercharged V8 Dodge Challenger may soon be over, with electrification expected to fundamentally change the next-generation of muscle car. Sales of seemingly endlessly-iterated Challenger and Charger performance cars - most recently with the Challenger Hellcat Redeye, a 797hp beast - have buoyed Fiat Chrysler Automobiles fortunes for years now, but time is catching up.
The redesigned 2019 Ram 1500 truck was unveiled back in March of this year with pricing starting at a bit under $32,000 for a base model. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced that the redesigned Ram 1500 crew cab offers better crash protection for passengers than previous models. IIHS notes that the 2019 model has earned good ratings in all six crashworthiness tests it performs.
The Dodge Demon is already a beast of a drag strip racer right out of the box thanks to its supercharged V8 engine's 840hp output. SpeedKore took one of those Demons and made it even faster, way faster in fact. The extra speed comes from a massive increase in horsepower and weight reduction.
Crossovers and SUVs are popular due to many reasons. It may be due to the taller ride height and a more commanding view of the road. But one of the most important factor is the availability of the sure-footed traction and handling of a proper all-wheel drive or four-wheel drivetrain.
Dodge's Charger SRT Hellcat is hardly a shy and retiring car normally, but the 714 hp sedan looks even more striking after being given the armoring treatment for one lucky law enforcement team. Handiwork of Armormax, it leaves the V8 muscle car fully bullet-resistant, not to mention capable of electrocuting people via its door handles.
It's hard to imagine anyone with a 2018 Dodge Demon wanting the street-legal drag racer to be even more powerful and faster. But for those few crazy individuals, custom tuner Hennessey Performance has just what they're looking for. The company has announced a limited number of upgrade packages for the Demon that push the car's horsepower to over 1,000, driving the original's quarter-mile times even lower.
