2024 Charger electric concept has interesting aero

Chrysler is calling that the R-Wing on the front and I think it looks pretty cool. At first you don't even notice it, the car looks like a evolution of the current Challenger in the front. I like how they are getting a better drag number while keeping a broad shoulder squared off look. The front complements the back well and had a definite classic Charger look. Plus 2 doors again but I bet it grows another set of doors before 2024.

Dodge is saying a 25% improvement the 2023 Charger.

Also the current Charger is .335 so 25% better would be .251. Not earth shattering but that's a good looking .251 IMO

Comes with fake ICE sounds and a codpiece, too.

The headlines I'd seen said something along the lines of Chrysler will cease the Charger in favor of electric models.

Well they have trademarked the name, so it will be like the modern hemi engine, no hemi at all.

They're bringing the 1934 'Airflow' back into 'production.' Pretty daring, considering the original was like a self-inflicted grenade wound.
Wonder if they'll also do 'Rambler.'
American Motors first introduced a production 'fastback' to market, and could get 'serious' now!
Stellantis owns all those marques and copyrights.

I have to say the marketing over there at Dodge is pretty excellent. I'd say I'm their target and a long time Mopar fan. It's always been a little different being a Mopar lover. We like cartoon characters selling things and garish colors and wings and such.

They are really bringing some old names and styles back. The Hornet which is available as a PHEV gets a GLH package (that was "goes like hell"). The have Direct Connection again at the parts counter. They are calling dealers "power brokers". Colors have been back awhile now. I was looking at the 5 choices of white and black and 3 in between on the ID4 and its depressing. At least the 2023 gets a new dark blue with at least a tan instead of grey interior.

Perhaps that could lead to a 'Super-Bee' BEV?
Tesla Motors could use a 'Challenger.'
Barracuda
Hustler
Javelin
Daytona
DeSoto
Imperial

Just A Car Guy definitely does not like the new Charger

justacarguy.blogspot.com: Here is an example, of a half baked idea. Fix the Charger's 4 door idiocy, but make it electric, and give it a speaker that blasts 126 decibels of hair dryer noise. Sure. That's what throwing ideas around in committee looks like folks.

I dislike the strict-EV approach. Even for a subcompact such as the Fiat 500e it's quite bad to eliminate the ICE.
