2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK
By Lorenzo Bianchi August 9, 2025
550 horsepower, 531 lb-ft torque from a twin-turbo “SIXPACK” inline-six, with 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds and a 177-mph top speed.
AWD with selectable RWD, launch control, and Line Lock bring both grip and burnout flair.
Prices start under $57,000, making it the most powerful muscle car available in that segment.
Interior and Styling Echo Electric Sibling
The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack shares much of its cabin and body silhouette with the electric Daytona—that’s clear from the straight-backed roofline and digital display setup inside. That said, a bulging hood, dual exhaust tips, and bold SIXPACK badging hint immediately at the extra firepower under the skin. Inside, there’s a projection of performance—suede touches, carbon-fiber accents, and an 18-speaker Alpine sound system lift the ambiance without trying too hard.
Powertrain Packs a Punch
Underhood, the story is the new SIXPACK engine—a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six based on the Hurricane family. Scat Pack buyers get the high-output version delivering 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to hit 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds, run a quarter at 12.2 seconds, and top out at 177 mph. AWD is standard, but pressing a button drops the front axle to achieve authentic RWD behavior, perfect for smoky burnouts.
Tech Meets Muscle
Tech isn’t tacked on—it's part of the feel. Standard AWD with rear-drive mode sits alongside launch control and a performance-tuned active exhaust. The Scat Pack also includes Line Lock for burnout emergencies and five tailored drive modes (Auto, Eco, Wet/Snow, Sport, Custom) so drivers can shape the experience to the road—or the strip.
Market Position and Pricing Strategy
When it arrives in dealerships in late 2025, the two-door Charger Scat Pack will start at $56,990, keeping it within reach of mainstream performance shoppers. The R/T model, at 420 hp and 468 lb-ft, will follow in early 2026 starting around $51,990. This pricing undercuts competitors, especially given the Charger Scat Pack now leads its class in horsepower below $55,000.
Final Observations
The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK may be the most modern muscle car to wear the Charger name yet. Its transition from legacy HEMI V8s to a tuned twin-turbo inline-six hasn’t softened its attitude—it’s sharper, quicker, and leaves rivals in its rear-view mirror. For anyone tracking the future of ICE-powered muscle, this one sells a clear message: performance still matters, and Dodge isn’t done delivering.
