There’s a new kind of thunder rumbling out of Detroit, and this time it’s got four doors and a twin-turbo six that snorts like it’s inhaling premium unleaded through a firehose. Dodge has gone and done it again—built something so unapologetically muscular, it feels like a middle finger to the age of polite crossovers and hybrid compromise.
Meet the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, a sedan so powerful it makes German autobahn bruisers look like gym rats who skip leg day. With 550 horsepower from the brand’s new SIXPACK high-output 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six, this thing rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed? 177 mph. Practical? Technically, yes—it has four doors. But don’t be fooled. This is still very much a hooligan with a license plate.
The Muscle Car Evolves (But Refuses to Grow Up)
In typical Dodge fashion, subtlety remains off the menu. The 2026 Charger Scat Pack looks like it could scare the chrome off a Mustang just by parking next to it. The stance is wide, low, and dripping with attitude—every crease and contour a declaration that the muscle car isn’t dead; it just learned how to use a turbocharger.
Underneath, the Charger’s AWD system can switch to rear-drive mode for burnouts and drifting—because of course it can. Dodge calls it “real choices.” We call it glorious irresponsibility.
And yes, there’s Launch Control, Line Lock, and Brembo brakes, because if you’re going to summon 550 horses, you’d better have the tools to keep them in line.
The Cabin: Where Bruiser Meets Business Class
Slip inside, and the chaos gives way to something unexpectedly refined. There’s leather-and-suede performance seating, Carbon & Suede trim, and a massive 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen that’s slicker than a Tesla’s ego. It’s a cabin that whispers “daily driver” but screams “drag strip” the moment you floor it.
It’s the same inside whether you go for the two-door coupe or this new four-door bruiser, because Dodge knows its customers aren’t here for compromises—they’re here for cubic inches (or cubic centimetres, if you prefer your measurements European) and burnt rubber.
Power for the People (With $56,995 to Spare)
Now here’s the part that’ll make BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG owners spit out their flat whites: this super-sedan starts at $56,995. That’s right—Dodge just built the most powerful sedan in the industry under sixty grand.
If you’re feeling frugal, the 420-horsepower Charger R/T starts at $49,995, while the two-door Scat Pack comes in at $54,995. Oh, and if you’ve gone fully digital, there’s the 670-horsepower all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack—silent, deadly, and already hitting dealerships.
Whichever you choose, Dodge throws in a day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, because apparently someone at HQ decided drivers should at least try to keep all 550 horses pointed in the same direction.
The 2026 Charger Scat Pack isn’t just another performance sedan—it’s a statement. A big, loud, tire-smoking reminder that muscle is a state of mind, not a cylinder count. Dodge has taken the old-school attitude, bolted on twin turbos, and somehow kept the soul intact.
In an era obsessed with efficiency and silence, the Charger Scat Pack doesn’t whisper—it bellows. And thank goodness for that.
