1964: TOO GOOD FOR NASCAR

I entered the racing world with a bang as a 426 HEMI® engine. I became a dominant force, setting a new standard in performance, and winning a lot of races. Like being the first to reach 200mph in the Charger Daytona. However, my success was short-lived as I was officially banned by the NHRA after just one year. Apparently, I was too fast for the competition.

A VIBRANT ICON

1999: Dodge Charger R/T Concept Car

A showstopper, but never a street racer. Crafted by Gale and Creed, a 4.7L V8, supercharged with CNG, aimed to launch me 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, outpacing the '04 Hemi. But manufacturing hurdles and testing roadblocks left me on display, not on roads. An unrealized powerhouse, forever a concept.
