This is undoubtedly an amazing time to be a muscle car fan, with modern-day heroes of the sort being at least as exuberant as the 60s and 70s machines that popularized the genre. Alas, while the outputs are considerably meatier and the handling has been dramatically improved, the number of nameplates is nowhere near the one we used to get back in the day. As such, Dodge deserves a round of applause for offering both the Charger and Challenger. However, certain gearheads still long for a two-door incarnation of the first, so this rendering is here to help.
The pixel painting is here to portray the current Charger range-topper, namely the Hellcat Widebody, in two-door form. Last time we discussed such a rendering, we feasted our eyes on a more complete 3D effort. However, while that visual stunt gifted the Mopar machine with a C-pillar profile sitting closer to that of a modern coupe, the 2D work sitting before us now sticks to the muscle-aura design language that came from the factory.
And we must thank digital artist Camm Fisher, who owns a Camaro in real life, for this stunt.
Speaking of what happens offline, Dodge continues to make efforts for the Charger. In fact, if the spy media we've seen is any indication, we should get to see the Redeye incarnation of the sedan by the end of the year.
And yes, the upcoming Hellcat-ized Durange also counts, since this muscle SUV's presence means there's no reason for the automaker to use the Charger nameplate for a high-rider.
In fact, the Mopar people have already shared a hint on the future of the Dodge muscle car. Back in March, Fiat Chrysler head designer Ralph Gilles shared a rendering showcasing a retro-futuristic two-door that featured clear Charger styling.
This was a social media experiment, so while we may or may not see that design reaching production, it at least shows the carmaker has serious intentions for the badge. And, in today’s crossover dominated market, this is no small feat.
Meanwhile, the rumor mill talks about the Charger and the Challenger set to solider on until 2023, when we'll get to meet the next generation of Mopar muscle.
