- Dodge and Mopar have teased a Charger concept for the SEMA Show.
- It’s likely based on the Charger Scat Pack, which features an inline-six.
- The range-topping variant produces 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque.
The SEMA Show returns on November 4th and Stellantis is looking to make a splash with a “wild array of customized vehicles.” Aside from full-builds and concepts, the company will showcase hundreds of performance parts at the event.
The automaker is keeping details under wraps, but they kicked off their teaser campaign by releasing an image of a purple Dodge Charger concept. Interestingly, it appears to be an ICE-powered variant as an enhanced version of the picture reveals a mid-mounted intake.

There isn’t much else to see, but the car will apparently have a contrasting black hood. We can also expect an assortment of goodies from Mopar.
That’s not a lot to go on, but the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T starts at $49,995 and features a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six producing 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 468 lb-ft (634 Nm) of torque. It enables the model to hit a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h).
The $54,995 Charger Scat Pack ups the ante with a high-output engine developing 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS) and 531 lb-ft (719 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the extra power, the car can rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.9 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds. If you keep your foot planted, you’ll eventually top out at 177 mph (285 km/h).
Both engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. The latter is defeatable as there’s a rear-wheel drive mode, which promises to provide “effortless drifts, smoky donut spins, and pure driving exhilaration.”
The Charger Scat Pack is scheduled to arrive at dealerships later this year, while the R/T will follow in mid-2026.
