Dodge, Hemmings Turn SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack Into Pair of 750-horsepower Tire-shredding Drift Machines Debuting at Roadkill Nights

"Like a lot of great automotive ideas, this one started while we were driving," said Musto, an on-screen host and automotive journalist who rose to prominence as host of "Big Muscle" on The Drive Network and "The House of Muscle" on Hemmings and MotorTrend. "During a media drive in Death Valley, conversations turned to the new SIXPACK Charger and everything Dodge had built into the platform. The more Matt and I talked about the SIXPACK engine, the AWD system and the car's ability to operate in rear-wheel-drive mode, the more the idea took shape. At one point we stopped asking, 'What if?', and started asking, 'Why not?'

Build highlights include:

Both drift cars connect back to their production foundation with exterior graphics inspired by the new Charger Purple Haze color. The four-door Charger RPM gets a race-themed treatment with "Rapid People Mover" across the roof, while the Charger BOOST Coupe takes a more aggressive, drift-culture-inspired direction.

The first episodes of a nine-part video series are now available on Hemmings' YouTube channel and social media platforms, giving fans an inside look at the Charger drift builds from concept to completion. The series follows Musto, Wejpanich, professional drifters Hosford and Diaz, and the Suppy's Garage team as they transform production-based Charger Scat Pack models into 750-horsepower professional drift machines. Upcoming episodes will follow the Charger drift cars as they appear at enthusiast events across the country. Suppy's Garage, Hosford and Diaz are also sharing behind-the-scenes content on their social media channels.

Transported to events by a Ram 3500 heavy-duty truck, the Dodge Charger BOOST Coupe and Dodge Charger RPM will next hit the drift course Sept. 18-20 at Gridlife in Laguna Seca, followed by FuelFest at Firebird Motorsports Park in Arizona on Dec. 5.

Although both Charger drift cars share the same performance target, each uses a unique forced-induction configuration, with both drift machines running on C16 race fuel:

The factory all-wheel-drive platform has been extensively re-engineered into a dedicated rear-wheel-drive drift chassis:

Driver controls include:

The production interior has been completely removed and replaced with professional motorsports equipment:

The exterior has been massaged to support the increased cooling, steering angle and aerodynamic requirements of competitive drifting:

For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Today, that legacy roars louder than ever in the lineup of Dodge, America's performance brand.

The Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup features:

Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers two-door coupe or four-door sedan configurations - because with performance comes choice.

The Dodge lineup is also fueled by the most powerful gas SUV ever, the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, powered by the legendary supercharged HEMI V-8 engine. The Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak breaks free from convention with the three-row SUV, unlocking more than 14 million potential customization combinations. The Dodge Durango R/T 392 delivers the most horsepower per dollar for a gas SUV, and the 360-horsepower 5.7-liter Durango GT HEMI AWD remains the most affordable AWD V-8 in the industry.

The purchase of a SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack, Charger Daytona Scat Pack or Durango SRT Hellcat model includes one day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, the official Dodge//SRT high-performance driving school.
