Dodge's supercharged V8 isn't long for this world - its EV replacement doesn't look so bad, though... ⚡️
will return for one last hurrah in 2023; it was announced that Dodge dealerships would help third parties make Challenger convertibles; and a whole new suite of Dodge Direct Connection Performance Parts was launched, for those that want their last-of-the-line Hellcats to have a little more pep. And all of that was before this, a ‘perception-shattering concept that reimagines what a BEV can be’. It’s been some Dodge Speed Week, put it that way.
A historical badge has also been resurrected for this car, the ‘Fratzog’ logo seen on the wheels and at each end first seen in Dodge muscle cars from 1962-1976. According to its maker, this car ‘features inspired design that takes on the challenge of revolutionising the look of a BEV while offering subtle nods to the brand’s muscle car past’, one that ‘muscles aside the boring BEV paradigm and replaces it with an electrified vehicle unlike any on the road today’.
In addition, this Charger is fitted with something called an eRupt transmission that works with the exhaust to make the best noise possible. Described as a multi-speed transmission ‘with electro-mechanical shifting delivers distinctive shift points, throwing shoulders into seatbacks in true Dodge style’. Which, again, doesn’t sound entirely possible with an electric vehicle, but we’re nothing if not curious to experience the reality.
