Render of the Charger SRT's wing on today's Daytona Dodge is aware how the launch of the new Charger has gone and come across. So much so that Dodge CEO Matt McLear told The Drive in April it’s simply “way too early” to call it a dud or a success. Maybe. But on Thursday, in Detroit, Michigan, immediately after the executive team laid out the automotive giant’s turnaround plan The Drive was told that the Charger will be receiving a refresh. That sounds like an emergency undertaking because the entire Charger lineup’s not even out yet. We were also shown the Charger SRT, and boy and girls, it looks the part. Electronics were all taken away and no photos were allowed, but here’s what I saw (no touching). It’s all kind of a blur, stick with me. Two Chargers were shown. One was painted bright neon green while the other was a B5-like blue. The neon green Charger shown, which surely had to be the SRT variant, had amber LED daytime running lights. But unlike today’s Charger, the light strip didn’t span the entire front end. Just the sides at the bottom of the sunken headlights. The entire headlight area was smoked giving a menacing look with the orange amber LED daytime running lights. A massive front splitter jutted out from the bottom of the front bumper and a huge hood scoop clearly sucked air in for what will presumably be a fire-breathing gas-powered engine. The star of this car’s show? A huge rear wing that looked like something from the Richard Petty Superbird era. It came off the rear and flew up high with the pedestals on the sides of the rear end, not the center. The front fenders of both the Chargers shown had vertical vents on them that were black. The SRT rode on what looked like diamond-cut wheels that were wide. Overall both cars looked like an evolution that gives today’s car more attitude and punch, but keeps the current overall design. I didn’t get a look inside either car or at the rear ends as we were shuffled along in less than a minute. What’s powering the SRT is completely unclear aside from the fact it’s gas powered. We know that everyone has asked Dodge to shove the Hemi V8 into the new Charger. Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa told The Drive the reason Ram got the V8 back before Dodge was because 40% of truck buyers demand the option before even considering a truck brand. That implies the V8 will return to Dodge, and it’s hard to argue he meant the Durango. The V8 never left the Durango. The Hellcat-powered Durango never even died. Dodge CEO Matt McLear told The Drive in March that the automaker will “push the limits” of the Hurricane inline-six. What’s that now? Interesting.
