Over the years, Dodge has become synonymous with muscle cars and high-performance vehicles. Every year, changes to the lineup open up new possibilities when it comes to performance. Even Dodge’s Mopar division is getting involved with its SRT projects to try to make extremely high-performance versions of other cars. Because of this, it’s worth taking a look every year to see what’s new and what becomes available. Here’s a look at Dodge’s 2020 lineup.
Dodge Viper
Making a stunning comeback (again, for the second time) is the Dodge Viper. It was canceled in 2017 with no expectation to return, but it’s slated to come back with some minor changes in 2020. One of the most significant changes is the engine. The 2020 Viper will come back with a V-8 instead of a V-10. However, that V-8 may be able to compete with larger counterparts since Dodge’s engine technology is consistently increasing in sophistication and power. A smaller engine won’t be as much of a hindrance to the Viper as you may think, since the overall design will be much lighter. Dodge is working on incorporating aluminum and carbon fiber into its vehicles to make them much lighter and more durable.
Dodge Charger Widebody
When it comes to muscle cars, the Dodge Charger leads Dodge’s lineup. It’s big and bulky with an aggressive look and performance to match. Dodge invests a lot into finding ways of making its muscle cars better. One of the design changes that stands out the most is a wider wheelbase and body. Performance vehicles often struggle through turns and have problems with stability. Widening their stance helps solve this problem by making cars more stable and improving their turning performance. For 2020, the Dodge Charger will get a Widebody version just like the Challenger already has.
Dodge Challenger SRT Ghoul
If you’re missing the Hellcat, there’s something even better on the horizon. While early estimates say it may be out in 2020, the actual launch date is still unconfirmed. However, the Dodge Challenger SRT Ghoul is set to replace the Hellcat in terms of power and speed. Its initial specs place it at 840 horsepower. This is an early estimate, though, as there’s also a 1,000-horsepower engine option that could be used. The price is estimated to be around $200,000 to start, making it one of the most expensive SRT projects ever.
Dodge is in the middle of a transition to becoming a performance-focused brand, which is pushing the company to find new ways of maximizing performance across all of its vehicles. These new vehicles are just the opening parts of a strategy that will lead to more powerful, economical, and affordable performance vehicles.
