Dodge Hellcat Charger: A Hot Hatch AWD Render

Compact Charger Hatchback: A Revamp of the Hellcat Range.

If you are a devotee of the Dodge Charger but are not enchanted by the 4-door frame, this Charger hot hatch might be the thing for you. The Mopar speed vehicle lineup includes a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan; both these massive cars are perfect for drag racing.

This inventive Dodge Charger hot hatch from HotCars creator Rostislav Prokop offers up something virtually unparalleled–a Hellcat widebody on a reduced wheelbase, promising augmented nimbleness as opposed to the sedan. Think of it as a red-hot competition to the Honda Civic Type R.

The scoop on the youthful yet sensible Charger hatch is here for your review. This set of wheels offers a great combination of being cutting edge and useful for everyday errands. From its streamlined shape to its well-engineered interior, it’s clear that this vehicle is optimal for youthful drivers who demand uncompromising workmanship. Plus, with an array of safety features and intuitive tech specs, rest assured you’ll stay protected and connected when cruising around in this whip! The Charger hatch is undoubtedly young-at-heart but mature of mind.

A hot hatchback is in essence, a small automobile with a back hatch and sharpened performance. From the crudest Golf GTI and Peugeot 205 GTi to today’s high-powered cars such as the Honda Civic Type R, this distinct body style has traveled a long distance.

Why not conjure the testosterone-filled ideal of a 717 horsepower hot hatch? This 3D rendering presents a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody that has been whittled down to a compact wheelbase with a revitalized hatchback trunk. Its bold rear wing evokes memories of the Civic Type R and Subaru WRX STI, while simultaneously delivering meaningful downforce paired with an exclusive custom front splitter.

Having a decreased length at the back end, the mini muscle vehicle looks more adroit; however a majority of the elements encasing the bumpers, headlights and grille remain unchanged. The hood scoop exudes air towards the superpower motor underneath it.

We can’t be sure exactly how much of an effect a more condensed wheelbase and body would have on the Dodge Charger hot hatch when it comes to swiftness and maneuverability, but we can infer that it would both achieve top speed sooner and be able to navigate courses with more agility.

Enhanced practicality would come from an expanded hatchback entry, yet the diminished boot space and more minor backseat area would reduce its attractiveness to families. However, let’s be honest – this automobile isn’t designed for ferrying kids to school.

Hidden beneath the bonnet is the Hellcat motor – a burly 6.2-liter, forced induction V8 which pumps out 717 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.

That’s vastly more than what the Honda Civic Type R supplies, amounting to only 315 hp, thus making this the strongest hot hatch up until now, strictly in theory.

To make this comparable to other rally-influenced hatchbacks, Dodge could implement the AWD system in the Jeep Trackhawk (or Dodge Durango) in order to distribute the Hellcat’s power among all four of the car’s wheels. This would be a better alternative than relying on the AWD system from the Charger SXT as that might not be able to effectively handle the major force coming from the engine.

The mightiest Dodge Charger present in the Dodge range is the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak. Going beyond simply having an expansive title, it packs an overwhelming 807 hp as well as 707 lb-ft – almost the same power output as the iconic Dodge Demon of 2018.
