Introducing the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack: A Muscle Car Reborn with Modern Tech
Get ready for an exhilarating ride as Dodge unveils the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, a high-performance muscle car that blends traditional muscle car style with modern technology and drivability.
Under the hood of this powerful coupe lies a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six "Hurricane" engine, producing a whopping 550 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque. This engine, with forged steel internals, direct fuel injection, and twin Garrett GT2054 turbos, promises a thrilling driving experience.
The 2026 Charger Scat Pack comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic TorqueFlite transmission and standard all-wheel drive, with the option to switch to rear-wheel drive. This AWD system, coupled with the car's potent engine, ensures a swift 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds, and a top speed of 285 km/h.
The Charger Scat Pack is not just about speed; it's also about control. The car features adaptive dampers, Brembo performance brakes, and a widebody design that emphasizes muscle car aesthetics. For added excitement, the Scat Pack comes with launch control assistance and even a special drift mode.
Inside, the award-winning cabin boasts digital instrument clusters, customizable ambient lighting, and leather or suede upholstery options. The car also includes features such as keyless entry, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and 20-inch wheels.
Safety is not compromised in this muscle car. The 2026 Charger Scat Pack comes with advanced safety features including forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring as standard.
Priced between $51,990 and $58,990, the Scat Pack version of the Dodge Charger offers an affordable yet powerful driving experience, making it the most powerful muscle car under $55,000.
In early 2026, Dodge will also introduce a less powerful and more affordable R/T version of the Dodge Charger, as well as a four-door gasoline variant. And if you're a fan of the classic V8 Hemi engine, Dodge has hinted at attempting to fit one under the hood of the Charger.
The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack is a testament to Dodge's commitment to combining muscle car heritage with modern technology, offering a driving experience that is both thrilling and accessible.
The 2026 Charger Scat Pack epitomizes a fusion of muscle car heritage and modern technology, harnessing the power of advanced, high-tech features. Inside the sleek cabin, cutting-edge digital instrument clusters and sophisticated safety systems are seamlessly integrated, enhancing the overall lifestyle experience.
Embracing the essence of technology, the Scat Pack showcases an 8-speed automatic TorqueFlite transmission, adaptive dampers, and built-in launch control assistance, among other innovations, delivering an adrenaline-pumping ride perfectly in line with today's high-tech trends.
