All-new 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Drops the Hammer With 550 Horsepower, AWD Fury and Old-school Gasoline Attitude
Dodge is keeping the muscle car flame alive with the launch of the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack. Powered by the new SIXPACK twin-turbo inline-six, this beast delivers 550 horsepower, 531 lb.-ft. of torque, and all-wheel drive to put the world on notice that modern muscle is far from dead.
Unveiled at Roadkill Nights in Pontiac, Michigan, the new Charger Scat Pack is more than just a car—it’s a statement. With a blistering 0–60 mph time of just 3.9 seconds and a quarter-mile run in 12.2 seconds, Dodge has engineered the most powerful muscle car you can buy for under $55,000.
Power to the People: Reviving the SIXPACK Legacy
The “SIXPACK” badge dates back to the 1970s, when it meant triple carburetors feeding a hungry V8. In 2026, Dodge reimagines that legacy with the Hurricane Twin Turbo Straight-Six. Offered in two flavors—420 horsepower in the R/T and 550 horsepower in the Scat Pack—the SIXPACK blends modern engineering with old-school soul.
The high-output Scat Pack engine benefits from a low-restriction air system, twin Garrett GT2054 turbos, forged internals, and advanced cooling technologies. The result? Brutal acceleration, relentless torque delivery, and a top speed of 177 mph—all while running on 91-octane fuel.
AWD When You Need It, RWD When You Want It
One of the Charger’s standout features is its on-demand all-wheel drive with rear-wheel-drive capability. Hit the strip in AWD for maximum traction, then switch to RWD with a push of a button for smoky burnouts and pure muscle-car fun.
Line Lock, Launch Control, and five selectable drive modes (Eco, Wet/Snow, Sport, Custom, and Auto) let drivers tailor the experience from practical daily driving to track-ready savagery.
Muscle Car Style: Wide, Mean, and Pure Dodge
The 2026 Charger Scat Pack carries the widest body of any car in the industry, pairing heritage-inspired muscle design with modern aggression. From its SIXPACK-branded grille, bold hood, and 20-inch wheels to its unmistakable LED lighting, this Charger is designed to turn heads and intimidate rivals.
Inside, the cabin is just as serious. Drivers get a 10.25-inch digital cluster (upgradable to 16-inch), a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, customizable interior lighting, performance seats, and Dodge’s award-winning Uconnect 5 system with over-the-air updates.
Safety and Tech Without Compromise
For all its power, the Charger Scat Pack doesn’t skip on safety. Standard features include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and more. Optional upgrades bring a 360-degree surround camera, head-up display, and advanced parking assist features.
Connectivity also takes a leap with Dodge Connected Services, offering remote lock/unlock, over-the-air updates, vehicle health reports, and even Alexa integration.
The Most Powerful Car Under $55K
In an era of rising prices, Dodge has managed to deliver jaw-dropping performance at an almost shocking price point. Starting at $54,995, the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack is officially the most powerful car under $55,000—giving enthusiasts a true performance bargain in a market filled with six-figure supercars.
With orders opening August 13, 2025, and deliveries starting by year’s end, the muscle car war has a new front-runner.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack is proof that Dodge knows its audience: drivers who want real horsepower, real muscle, and real value. With 550 horsepower, AWD versatility, widebody design, and a price tag under $55K, this Charger isn’t just a car—it’s a throwback to what muscle cars should be, with the tech and performance to own the modern road.
