When it comes to American automotive legends, Dodge stands out. Dodge muscle and Dodge performance are legendary, and their commitment to the legacy is evident in their impressive lineup, from the iconic Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger to the versatile Dodge Durango and innovative Dodge Hornet.
Dodge Muscle and Dodge Performance: High-Performance Legends
Dodge Challenger
The Challenger has evolved over the decades while staying true to its roots as a powerful, rear-wheel-drive coupe. Under the hood, the Challenger offers a range of engines, depending on the year you’re looking at and the trim. You can find a used SRT Hellcat with 717 horsepower or get the new SRT Super Stock, with up to 807 horsepower on race fuel: all of these push the boundaries of street-legal performance. Performance features such as launch control, adaptive suspension, and Brembo brakes ensure that the Challenger accelerates ferociously and handles with precision.
Dodge Charger
The Charger carries the torch as one of the few remaining full-size, rear-wheel-drive sedans on the market. It’s essentially a four-door sedan with the heart of a muscle car, and the Charger appeals to those who need everyday usability but want to have that performance power at their fingertips.
Like the Challenger, the Charger offers a spectrum of engine choices. The 2023s come in anything from the efficient 3.6-liter V6 to the high-performance HEMI SRT V8s. The Charger R/T, with its 345 HEMI gets you 370hp and 395 lb-ft of torque for exhilarating acceleration and top speeds. The exterior design of the Charger is aggressive yet refined, with stylish rims, iconic front grille, deck lid badges, and more.
Dodge Durango
Expanding Dodge’s performance philosophy into the SUV segment, the Durango gives you the impressive power you expect alongside the space and utility you need. The Durango is a family-friendly vehicle that doesn’t shy away from showcasing its muscle car DNA. In the 2024 model, choose from a supercharged 6.2L HEMI with up to 710hp, a 6.4L HEMI offering 475hp and best-in-class towing of up to 8,700 pounds, the 5.7L HEMI with 360hp, or the efficient 3.6L V-6 that gets you 293hp and 22mpg combined.
Dodge Hornet
Powered by turbocharged engines, the Hornet CUV delivers spirited acceleration and responsive handling in an SUV that’s a genuine joy to drive. Choose from the R/T electrified and get 128mph of speed, 383lb-ft of torque, up to 32 miles of all-electric range, and the most horsepower of any CUV on the market. Or, try the muscle of the GT, with a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo engine that makes it the fastest CUV in the segment.
