The term “muscle car” no longer only applies to American cars.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a muscle car is “an American-made two-door sports car with a powerful engine.” The dictionary also mentions that these powerful engines are “designed for high-performance driving.” We would tend to agree with this definition, although we feel that the term “muscle car” has expanded over the years to encompass more that it has in the past. Four-door models like the ChargerHellcat can qualify as “muscle cars” and we believe that cars that aren’t even American can be categorized as such.
