Dodge Reveals 2 Refreshed Charger SRTs With Superbird-Style Wing as Turnaround Plan Takes Shape

3 articles · Updated · The Drive · May 22
  • Detroit previews showed 2 refreshed Chargers, including an SRT variant with a towering Superbird-era rear wing, smoked headlights, amber LED running lights, a large splitter and hood scoop.
  • Dodge tied the refresh to its broader turnaround effort after a mixed reception for the new Charger, even though the full lineup has not yet reached market.
  • Gasoline power is confirmed, but Dodge did not disclose the engine; the setup could revive pressure to restore a Hemi V8 or lean on the Hurricane inline-six.
  • Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa recently said Ram got the V8 back first because 40% of truck buyers demand it, reinforcing expectations that Dodge could also regain a V8 option.
Will the refreshed Charger SRT revive the iconic Hemi V8 or unleash a new, high-performance Hurricane six-cylinder engine?
Is the Charger SRT's massive Superbird wing a functional aerodynamic advantage or just a nostalgic design statement?
