2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Track Test: A Chaotic Car for a Chaotic Time

Automobiles



@Dodge was certainly thinking outside the box when they introduced the 2024 #Dodge #Charger Daytona. Not only did it not have a V8, it didn’t even have an engine! Just electric motors for the world’s first EV muscle car. Well, we knew that was just the first chapter of the story, so let’s turn the page and scar around the track, breathing good ol’ petrol fumes, in the new Dodge Charger SIXPACK. #DodgeCharger

  1. A car with no bumpers!? Some scratches and a dent costs you $$$! Overweight computers on wheels. You'll be ripped off 3 times. When you buy. When you service/repair. When you sell. NO thanks!

  2. 45 years? Wow! I would have thought longer. I seem to remember MW for most of my 58 years. The thing John says that is like fingernails on a chalkboard is Stang! I am sure us Mustang fans all feel. Congrats John and MW. The first video Automotive Journalist.

  3. I like some electric vehicles
    Slate
    Rivian
    Lucid
    But i think Dodge missed an opportunity doing the daytona
    It shouldn't have been under the charger name. It should have been its own, and they should have kept the charger and challenger and the daytona and the 6pack as its own lineup

  4. Get rid of the digital screens, the computer chips and the mass surveillance networks, lower the price by $30,000 and then maybe I'm interested.

    Other than that its a definite NO on EVERY single modern car made.

    Its a no go.

  5. You are shilling for Dodge. You spent your time talking about the car. Not showing us the car. You can watch any Dodge commercials and get the same thing.

  6. I'll get crap for this: but his prescribed newsreader speak is annoying. no one talks like this. this is why Top Gear took off and MotorWeek didn't and never will.

  7. Can we all please take a moment to give John Davis the flowers he deserves?
    He's been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Thank you, John, for your years and years of being our friend and voice of every car guy (person) in America!!

  8. If you think this car is fast, go back and watch the Motorweek review of the 2002 Corvette Z06. The number are almost identical. Amazing performance for a 24 year old car.

  9. 4800 lbs! I thought the power output of that I6 was going to make it king of the road compared to the Mustang, but a basic 460 hp GT from a few years ago would match that 0-60 run.

    And when they said how much the Charger weighed it made sense. It's 800 lbs heavier than a Dark Horse! I could see it if the Mustang was tiny, or if the Charger was at least a PHEV. But it's gasoline powered.

    As the years pass, we all add on some pounds, but this is over 300 lbs heavier than the previous generation Hellcat equipped SRT.

    I never figured that a Mustang that weighs 200 lbs more than a Mercury Grand Marquis from the 80s would be considered "lithe", but by comparison to the new Charger…
