Why It Stands Out
Muscle-Car Drama With Schaumburg-Friendly Practicality
The old formula was big V8 power and rear-wheel drive. The 2026 Charger Scat Pack keeps the drama, then adds the kind of traction, flexibility, and daily confidence local drivers actually need.
Built for all four seasons
Standard all-wheel drive means Scat Pack owners can put real power down on slick winter pavement instead of parking their performance car when conditions turn ugly.
Still knows how to put on a show
The push-button switch to rear-wheel-drive mode keeps the burnout culture alive, so drivers get year-round traction without losing the fun that defines the Charger name.
Insane power 420 to 550 horsepower from the new twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six lineup depending on trim.
Blistering acceleration Dodge targets a 3.9-second 0-60 mph run and a 12.2-second quarter-mile for the Scat Pack.
Real driver tools Launch Control and Line Lock come standard to help manage all that power.
Track-capable hardware Available Brembo brakes, adaptive damping, and widebody competition upgrades back up the straight-line speed.
Powertrain Deep Dive
Twin-Turbo Power Meets Everyday Usability
Under the hood, the Scat Pack runs a 3.0L SIXPACK H.O. twin-turbo inline-six delivering 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. The turbos spool fast and can reach up to 30 psi of peak boost, helping torque arrive early instead of waiting high in the rev range.
Drivers wanting the same AWD-to-RWD versatility with a lower entry price can step into the 420-hp Charger R/T. Buyers looking to go even harder can add the Track Package with red Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, 380mm rotors, adaptive damping, and a widebody competition setup.
Every Scat Pack and Track Package buyer also gets complimentary performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, giving owners a better way to learn the car before pushing limits on public roads.

Comparison
Charger Scat Pack vs. Ford Mustang GT
The Mustang GT still makes sense for buyers chasing a lower entry price, lighter curb weight, or a manual transmission. The Scat Pack answers with more torque, more power, all-weather traction, and real rear-seat practicality.
