The anticipation surrounding Dodge’s response to the latest generation Ford Mustang had lingered since the demise of the Challenger in late 2023. Recently, the Stellantis-owned brand stepped forward, announcing the debut of its all-new muscle car on March 5.
Rebranded as the Charger (Daytona?), this vehicle will feature innovative construction and initially launch with electric power, with potential gasoline variants to follow.
The focus on the Ford Mustang as its primary competitor is noteworthy, especially after General Motors discontinued the Chevrolet Camaro in December.
Speculation remains regarding GM’s future direction in the muscle car segment, with uncertainties surrounding the potential adoption of EV technology or continued reliance on internal combustion engines.
Amid Dodge’s preparations for its new muscle car, enthusiasts continue to modify discontinued Challengers. Notably, a tuned Dodge Challenger showcased via @rohanawheels on Instagram captures attention with its RFG5 Trinity alloy wheels and Bosozoku-inspired modifications, including bolt-on fender flares and a distinctive aesthetic overhaul.
While certain enthusiasts may appreciate such modifications, opinions vary, with some advocating for minimal alterations beyond performance enhancements. This sentiment extends to competitors like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, emphasizing the appeal of retaining stock aesthetics while maximizing power output and performance.
