Dodge's iconic high-powered sports cars won't go quietly into the night, even with EV options knocking at the doorstep. Before Dodge debuts its electrified lineup and the eMuscle car, the brand will unveil a new generation of V8-powered Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger models. This new generation of muscle machines will be a curtain call for the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger. Here's what you can expect.
How the Final Generation for the Dodge Challenger & Dodge Charger Will Be the Best Yet
Saving the best for last? Dodge certainly is with the brand-new generation of rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered sports cars as Dodge shifts its focus to EVs and an electrified lineup.
As a new platform welcomes the next generation, Hemi engines and the old flatform will go away. In its place is the new Stellantis rear-wheel-drive platform, which is large enough to accommodate a V8 engine.
It's expected that the next generation will pack more of a punch with variations of Mopar's twin-turbo Hurricane I-6 engine. Base models should produce at least 400 horsepower, while high-output versions for this new engine will deliver over 500 ponies. Expect a hybrid version, and Brunswick, ME drivers will likely have the choice of an optional V8 engine.
These Dodge sports cars are expected to be much lighter than previous generation, resulting in better handling on Maine highways around Brunswick and Augusta. All-wheel drive is back, as is the 8-speed automatic transmission that Lewiston, ME drivers love.
