Summary

  • A social-media clip appears to show two previously unseen Dodge Charger prototypes, including one with a redesigned front end and another carrying a "Powered By SRT" windshield sticker.
  • Front-only footage leaves their identities unconfirmed, and the cars could be anything from future performance variants to test mules that never reach production.
  • Dodge has already signaled a hotter Charger is coming, with CEO Tim Kuniskis repeatedly hinting at a V8-powered model and even a possible Hellcat return.
  • For now, the 550-hp Charger Daytona Scat Pack with Dodge's high-output twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six remains the brand's most powerful gas-powered Charger.
