Stellantis kept its word. Dodge, the automaker’s performance division, had promised to resume production of Chargers powered by a HEMI V8 engine. It was at the SEMA Show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) that Dodge unveiled the “HustleStuff Drag Pak” version of its new Charger, which was originally introduced as a fully electric model. This Dodge is powered by a third-generation 5.7-litre HEMI V8 topped with a 3.0-litre Whipple twin-screw supercharger.

Consumers will be able to purchase this version of the Charger, but there is one drawback: the vehicle will not be street legal. This Dodge is designed strictly for drag racing. Dodge has announced a price of more than US$235,000. The HustleStuff Charger will make its debut at the NHRA Gatornationals in March 2026.
