Right now, the S650 seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang rules unchallenged across the American sports car sector due to several disparate factors.
The S550 and S650 Mustangs ascertained the supremacy last year – mostly thanks to a subtly improved performance (+2.2%) and to a sudden (-18%) drop in Dodge Challenger interest, although the latter should have been seen as a veritable collectible given its 'Last Call' status. Meanwhile, the GM foes are fewer now.
More precisely, the sixth generation Chevy Camaro also ceased production in December 2023, just like the Charger sedan and Challenger coupe – but for the 'Maro, there's no successor in sight. Instead, Chevy now relies solely on the C8 Corvette, and that one is now in a different league compared to the V8 Mustang in terms of pricing and performance.
Mopar fans, on the other hand, need to sit tight and hang on until Stellantis allows Dodge to officially introduce the next-gen Charger – an all-new treatment on the STLA Large platform that sees the nameplate revert to its original two-door fastback coupe lifestyle and also adapt to the EV revolution. In fact, the teased Charger Daytona is the first to come out with zero emissions powertrains – and Stellantis has already confirmed Hellcat V8-beating levels of power.
As such, it is no wonder that everyone and their mother are holding their breath for the arrival of the Charger Daytona – including across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. For example, Timothy Adry Emmanuel, the virtual artist better known as adry53customs on social media, continues his dream ride periplus alongside members of the CGI muscle car sector – and he recently envisioned the upcoming Charger Daytona sporting the Dukes of Hazard livery and proudly making General Lee a sustainable muscle car!
Alas, that doesn't mean everyone needs to suddenly convert to NACS if they still crave for ICE power under the hood. Alternatively, the pixel master has cooked up a complete widebody makeover and technical upgrade process for the outgoing Dodge Challenger dubbed Glory 1000. It's a tribute to both his wife and the third-generation pony and muscle car, complete with a slammed attitude, massive hood bulge, lots of new aero elements, an extreme widebody kit, and a wheel plus tire package that bodes well for the chromed body elements when they shine at the local quarter-mile dragstrip.
The General Lee Dodge Charger Daytona EV and his Glory 1000 Dodge Challenger widebody project are obviously unrelated, as one is powered by electrons and the other by dead dinosaurs. But they sit next to each other in the pixel master's reel, which quickly begs the question – if we had to choose which one would adorn our dream garages – the silent Duke of Hazard or the V8 widebody rascal?
