Hail Hydra: the Future of the Dodge Muscle

April 5th, 2022 by

2021 EV Kendall Dodge

The Hydra is coming, the hydrogen-powered engine that will replace the 800-horsepower engine that currently sits in the Dodge Challenger and Charger muscle car options. This inclusion means the Dodge Challenger and Charger vehicles, or the next-generation Dodge muscle car, will gain combustion power. Owners of current Dodge muscle should be thrilled to know that the upcoming EV capabilities of the next Dodge vehicle will have options. That said, we fully expect the future Dodge muscle EV to reach heights not offered with combustion engine technology. However, the new and soon to debut 800-horsepower hydrogen engine will be brought out for the public to see and own. 

“The Hydra represents the next evolution of the muscle car without compromising our brand integrity. The Hydra name is symbolic for us. While legislation may have cut the head off of our ICE-powered muscle cars, two more will grow back in its place. Muscle cars won’t go down that easily,” Ivan Tobrakfri, Director of Muscle Car Development at Dodge.

Dodge Is Ready To Return 

Dodge is possibly returning to NASCAR, a chance that is coming through with details that will put Dodge in for the first time in a decade. The next-generation Dodge muscle car will have the greenlight to hit the race track upon its debut. We know the Dodge brand is coming to build up its firepower, but we now know the Dodge execution of its muscle cars will indeed require the combustion aspect. We are not certain as the details are not yet confirmed, but there is exciting news to think about regarding the future of the Dodge EV. This is vital for the SRT trims that are offered for both the Charger and the Challenger.

“We’ll admit that the announcement of the electric muscle car lineup was a kneejerk reaction to the incoming legislation,” he says, “but our engineers have been working hard to create a combustion engine that burns cleanly while still delivering the aural delight and emotional connection to a muscle car that our loyal supporters expect. In order to expand our product offering, electrification is a must, which is why we will have electric family SUVs. But, our muscle cars must be powered by combustion – this is non-negotiable.” Tobrakfri added.
