Fortunately, we are not here to discuss any potential excuse for turning the Charger into an SUV and that's because Dodge has much better plans (more on that below). Instead, this rendering has the simple aim to put a smile on our face, all via a swap.
As any serious aficionado would tell you, we're dealing with a Porsche Cayenne Coupe that has receive a Dodge Charger face swap, with this sort of pixel shenanigan being a trend nowadays. And no, the world doesn't need another SUV Coupe, since we're talking about the sloping roofline incarnation of the Zuffenhausen machine here.

After all, this body style sacrifices the "utility" part of such a vehicle’s name without delivering too much in exchange, since SUV Coupes arguably aren't that sleek.

It's worth noting that Instagram label carfrontswaps, which came up with this visual stunt, went for a brilliant color choice. To be more precise, the Lava Orange shade adorning the Cayenne Coupe from the factory isn't all that far from the infamous HEMI Orange, even though certain purists might have a hard time agreeing with this.

Returning to the upcoming Dodge models mentioned in the intro, let's start with the just-around-the-corner Charger Hellcat Redeye - fans of the brand have been crying for the high-output version of the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI to land on the four-door model ever since this debuted on the Challenger Demon. And we should see the super-sedan landing by the end of the year.

As for those in the market for a performance SUV, the Durango is on its way to receiving Hellcat muscle, so the range will no longer be topped by the 475 hp N/A 6.4-liter HEMI. And since the Durango is larger than the Grand Cherokee, coming with a third row, there's no reason to fret about Trackhawk cannibalization.
