Dodge Charger Hellcat Wagon Looks Like the Widebody Magnum We Deserve

The current incarnations of the Dodge Charger and Challenger are expected to soldier on until 2023. As such, the already-rich lineup might just become even more generous, especially since the old-dog-new-tricks formula defining the pair of Mopar muscle cars has proven to be a sales success. Alas, there's one important derivative that got left behind, namely the Dodge Magnum. And this is where the rendering we have here comes into play.

The family-friendly Dodge muscle machine we're talking about was discontinued after the 2008 model year, with this being affected by the same issue as most wagons in America, namely the market shifting toward SUVs.

Nowadays, Dodge offers the Charger in factory widebody form, just like it does with the Challenger. However, there are plenty of aficionados who have built a custom widebody subculture for the pair of Dodge muscle cars, with these modded examples packing even meatier fenders than those of the said production models. These toys are extremely popular on social media and here's an example of such a build.

And while the Magnum, which was produced between 2004 and 2008, did get its fair share of customization, it's safe to say it would've benefited from the said widebody craze happening these days. Well, this rendering portrays just such a machine.

Now, Timothy Adry Emmanuel, the digital artist behind this pixel portrait, has already come up with a rendering showcasing a Charger Hellcat Widebody Wagon in factory trim, while the work we have here brings the said bulkier arches (the Challenger SRT Demon-like hood is on the house).

In fact, the rendering does more than that, getting closer to the real world, since it shows the Dodge with a Shirokai WB kit - the specialist's aero package already adorns Charger sedans out there.

Speaking of which, there are already gearheads who go through the effort of fitting Magnums with such aero work in real life, as we discussed earlier this month.
