It’s hard to top the performance of an EV, yet sales of the blisteringly fast Dodge Charger Daytona have fallen short of expectations. For muscle car fans still unwilling to go electric, however, there’s a gas-powered alternative soon set to roll into showrooms. Headlight.News has this first look at the Sixpack-powered 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack.
The steady shift toward electric vehicles may not hit home harder than with Dodge, America’s best-known muscle car brand.

It’s hard to ignore the guttural roar of a classic muscle car. Now, multiply that by several thousand. That’s what we can expect on Woodward Ave., the main drag bisecting Detroit and its northern suburbs as the annual Woodward Dream Cruise gets underway. Mother Nature isn’t being very kind, heavy storms expected to put a damper on a gathering that, in good years, will bring out as many as 60,000 muscle cars, hot rods, sports cars and other cruisers – with more than 1 million folks lining the 16-mile route.

That leaves a big question: what happens to the once widely hailed Dodge Challenger?
