Dodge is literally expanding its high-performance Charger models for 2020, adding a Widebody Package to America’s only four-door muscle car.
Powered by the proven supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI Hellcat V8 engine, the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody boasts a best-in-class 707bhp and 881Nm of torque and delivers a top speed of 315km/h, maintaining its reign as the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world.
The Widebody Package, standard on Charger SRT Hellcat and available on the Charger Scat Pack, includes new integrated fender flares that add 89mm of body width, creating an even more aggressive, planted stance. The flares make room for the wider 20-inch wheels and Pirelli 305/35ZR20 tires, Brembo six-piston front calipers with two-piece front brake rotors and unique suspension tuning with Bilstein three-mode adaptive damping, all combining to deliver improved performance on the street, strip and road course.
"People say, 'no one wants cars anymore.' I would tell you that the 40,000 people who bought a Dodge Charger so far this year would probably agree, because to them, the Charger isn't just a car. The Charger's reach extends beyond body-style practicalities and it can't be defined by average industry shifts," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA - North America. "Can you buy a vehicle that is dollar for dollar more practical than a Charger Widebody? Absolutely, but there are also more than 1,000 flavors of ice cream and vanilla is only one of them. If the 'average' person will own six cars in their lifetime, our cars need to connect so strongly that people can't help, but turn around and take a second look before walking away."
