We get it — the Dodge Charger electric car isn’t exactly what fans were hoping for when Dodge announced a new version of its beloved muscle car. Fortunately, the company still offers the Charger Sixpack model, powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and it’s actually pretty good.
This year in SimaDodge displays its gas-powered car Sixpack charger With a host of Mopar upgrades. The concept features new wheels, new carbon fiber accents, an upgraded interior, and — as any proper Charger should — a thick coat of purple paint.
Officially called the Moparized Charger Sixpack Concept, this high-performance vehicle comes loaded with improvements from Dodge’s performance division. It wears a Stryker Purple exterior complemented by carbon fiber accents on the hood, front splitter and rear spoiler.
The concept rides on 21-inch five-spoke wheels finished in Dodge’s signature Copper Monkey color, paired with bright orange Brembo brake calipers. Ventilated fenders are said to improve aerodynamics, while a revised suspension setup lowers the car for a more aggressive stance.
Inside, the Charger features a combination of Katzkin leather with contrasting Toscana Black and Palomino Tan accents. Orange and purple stitching adds a finishing touch that helps connect the cabin’s look to the exterior.
Dodge also made some light performance modifications, including a custom Mopar cold air intake and a stainless steel exhaust system. Even with these upgrades, the Charger Sixpack still produces the same 550 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque from the factory, powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six.
You can check out the Charger Sixpack concept at Dodge’s booth during this year’s SEMA Show, where it will appear alongside another Mopar creation — the Ram 1500 “The Dude” concept, a modernized take on the classic 1970s truck of the same name.
