Dodge’s “Entry-Level” 2026 Charger R/T Has No V8 and Costs $50K – It Still Runs a 13-Second Quarter Mile

by Jack Harmon

MotorWeek put the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T through its full road-test treatment, and the numbers it turned in are hard to ignore: a roughly $50,000 price tag, a 13-second quarter mile, and not a single cylinder of V8 under the hood. Host John Davis treats the twin-turbo six-cylinder Charger with the same measured scrutiny he’s applied to Mopars since the 1980s, but the comments section isn’t nearly so calm. Is this really what “entry-level” muscle looks like now, or has Dodge just redefined the term?

Dodge Charger 1968 & Dodge Daytona 1969

by Kiril

After the 1968 Dodge Charger’s handsome fastback shape turned into a liability on NASCAR’s high-banked superspeedways, Chrysler answered with the radically reshaped 1969 Daytona — complete with a nose cone, towering rear wing, and a Lockheed wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamic package. It worked immediately, winning its first race and becoming the first NASCAR stock car to top 200 mph. Read on to find out how two cars sharing one platform ended up telling such different stories.

Dodge Killed the V8, Tried an EV, Then Built This 550-HP Six to Win Muscle Car Fans Back

by Jack Harmon

After years of Dodge flip-flopping between V8 muscle and an all-electric future, the new Charger Sixpack lands somewhere nobody quite expected: a 550-horsepower turbocharged inline-six. Jakub and Yuri put it up against the Kia Stinger, the Honda Prelude, and even an old Charger at its $89,995 CAD price point. Watch the most brutally honest verdict yet on whether a six-cylinder Charger still deserves the name.

Dodge Only Built 22 Hemi Super Bees in 1971 — And Somehow One of Them Also Has a Factory Sunroof

by Jack Harmon

Chrysler built only 22 1971 Dodge Super Bees with the 426 Hemi, and only 9 of those got a 4-speed manual. Separately, just 9 known ’71 Super Bees left the factory with a power sunroof — a nearly-$500 option that mandated a full vinyl top. Whether any single car sits at the overlap of all three is a question the historical record can’t quite settle. Watch to see the numbers behind one of the rarest combinations in Mopar history.

A 1968 Dodge Charger Rolled Into Sweden’s Biggest American Car Show — Then Left the Crowd Too Scared to Get Close

by Jack Harmon

At Sweden’s Power Big Meet — the largest gathering of American cars in Europe — a 1968 Dodge Charger doesn’t bother with a quarter mile. It just plants its rear tires and lets a crowd of onlookers decide whether to cheer or step back. Years later, viewers still say they come back to this exact clip just to feel it again. Watch to see why a simple burnout still beats a modern Hellcat’s, according to the comments.

This 1,000-HP Twin-Turbo Mustang Rolled Out of a Car Show — And It Wasn’t Even the Loudest One There

by Jack Harmon

A twin-turbo, supercharged ‘Vicious Mustang 2.0’ claiming 1,003 wheel horsepower headlines this car show sound compilation from 97robin997, but according to the person who filmed it, that Mustang wasn’t even the loudest car to roll through the lot. The footage also captures a Chevelle SS, a 1967 Eleanor-spec Mustang, and a 1951 Mercury coupe running a modern LS3 V8. Watch to hear which build actually stole the show.

The Most Insane Mopar Junkyard To Date – CHARGERS, SUPERBEES, ROAD RUNNERS,CORONETS, GTX…

by Wes

At Stephens Performance in Alabama sits a field of B-body Mopars deep enough that Auto Archaeology needed more than one video to cover it — this first installment alone spans Chargers, Road Runners, Coronets, GTX, and Super Bees in various states of decay. One commenter recognized the exact fence line from his grandfather’s old backyard; another admitted a rusting Mopar in this yard still looked fast enough to beat his Chevrolet. Watch to see what’s survived and what hasn’t.

Only 178 1971 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Packs Were Ever Built – Richard Boehl Has Owned His Since 1986, Speeding Tickets and All

by Jack Harmon

Richard Boehl has owned his 1971 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack — part of a production run of just 178 cars — since 1986, and he’s collected plenty of speeding tickets along the way. Filmed at Carlisle Events for My Car Story with Lou Costabile, this Concours-caliber Charger runs a triple-carburetor big block that sounds nothing like a standard four-barrel setup. Watch to hear it, and hear Boehl’s stories, for yourself.

The 1968 Dodge Charger Restomod Formula: How Builders Turn a Coke-Bottle Classic Into a Modern V8 Beast

by Jack Harmon

This 1968 Dodge Charger restomod has drawn reactions in at least six languages since it went up, with viewers calling its blacked-out grille everything from menacing to vampiric. Underneath the coke-bottle body line sits a fully modernized chassis and an exhaust note tuned to sound as aggressive as the car looks. The build description calls it a fusion of vintage muscle and modern engineering. See the finished Charger in motion to judge for yourself.

Dodge Killed the V8 Charger and Replaced It With an EV — This 550-HP Twin-Turbo Six Is the Apology Nobody Expected

by Jack Harmon

Throttle House hosts Thomas and James test the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack, the gas-powered, twin-turbo six-cylinder version of Dodge’s new Charger platform making 550 horsepower for $54,995 USD. The review — bluntly titled ‘Welp’ — splits the hosts between cautious optimism and open disappointment. Commenters piled on over the car’s roughly 4,800-pound curb weight, heavier than a Toyota Highlander hybrid despite carrying no EV battery, and a plastic engine cover that misrepresents the inline-six’s cylinder layout. It’s a pointed look at whether Dodge’s post-Hemi Charger can actually deliver on the muscle car promise.

Dodge Built This 1971 Charger to Never Leave the Factory — Somehow, a Chicago Dealer Sold It Anyway

by Jack Harmon

This 1971 Dodge Charger holds a rare distinction: the first Hemi Charger of its all-new body style, and the last year Dodge ever offered the 426 Hemi in one. Built as a pilot car never meant to reach a customer, it somehow ended up sold new at Mr. Norm’s legendary Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. Watch to see the story behind a car that broke its own rules before it ever left the factory.

Triple Turbos, a Viper V10, and 3,000 Horsepower: The Muscle Car Builds That ‘Broke Reality’

by Jack Harmon

A triple-turbo Mustang nicknamed “Vicious,” Johan Eriksson’s Viper V10-swapped Dodge Charger, and a roughly 3,000-horsepower build called “Doughboy” headline this roundup of extreme muscle car builds that abandon every factory limit entirely. Commenters loved the raw engineering but split hard over one car’s wheel choice. See which build the comments ultimately crowned the most jaw-dropping of the three.

A Supercharged Hellcat Challenger Just Lined Up Against a Numbers-Matching Hemi Cuda, and the Result Was Not What Anyone Expected

by Jack Harmon

A supercharged Hellcat Challenger, a numbers-matching Hemi Cuda, a bagged Scat Pack, and a Shelby-badged Mustang all line up on the same night in this Wheels compilation — and the results don’t go the way a spec sheet would predict. Viewers are still debating a 1967 Camaro that ran dead-on to its 11.52 index despite a rough burnout, and a Mustang that never got heat into its tires. Watch to see which pairings go old school’s way, and which don’t.

Dodge’s New Turbo-Six Charger Just Raced the Supercharged Hellcat It’s Replacing – And a Mustang Dark Horse Crashed the Party

by Jack Harmon

Dodge’s new twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive Charger Sixpack lines up against the supercharged Hellcat Redeye Widebody it’s replacing and a Ford Mustang Dark Horse — in falling snow. Throttle House’s drag race turns into an argument about tire choice, traction, and whether raw horsepower still wins when it can’t reach the pavement. Watch to see whether Dodge’s new turbo-six can actually keep up with the V8 muscle car culture it’s leaving behind.
