Dodge Charger Juiced Concept is Venomously Powerful

Few drivers on a power hunt would find fault with Dodge’s gas-chugging 6.4-liter SRT8, but the cars at the SEMA Show rarely concern “most” drivers and this is no exception.

Take that mentality and give give it all the sick-and-twisted torque of a Viper V10 engine and you get this: the Dodge Charger “Juiced” concept. Rather than nannying around with turbo kits and fancy parts, the Dodge boys dropped their tough-as-nails motor into the Charger to create a 650-hp tire shredder.

It also gets a Mopar cold air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a lowering kit and specially-finished exterior. It’s air-gulping hood scoop is one of the most prominent features and it complements the car’s spirit not only in shape, but with a matte finish that sets the car off.

Smoked headlights, black 20-inch wheels, a front spoiler and a matte black grille all come together to give the car a very aggressive look. V10 decals on the side hint at what lurks under the hood, while matte black Mopar graphics emblazoned into a stripe running over the decklid furhter emphasizes the car’s special status.

The interior gets black leather-trimmed seats with alcantara inserts and and an orange leather stripe running up the middle. Meanwhile, a carbon fiber-look dashboard accents the cabin and a pistol grip Hurst shifter completes its badboy look and feel.
