Mopar Celebrates 90 Years with Exclusive '27 Dodge Charger Package
Unveiling a Legacy: Mopar's 90-Year Celebration
The Annual Mopar Tradition Continues with the '27 Dodge Charger
For the past fifteen years, Stellantis has consistently introduced a special Mopar edition vehicle, ranging from the rugged Jeep Gladiators to the powerful Dodge Challengers. This year, the spotlight shines on the six-cylinder Dodge Charger, which serves as the canvas for Mopar's 90th-anniversary celebration.
Exclusive Upgrades for the Mopar '27 Package
The Mopar '27 package is exclusively offered for the coupe versions of the Charger, specifically those equipped with the turbocharged inline-six engine. Buyers can choose between the 420-horsepower R/T variant or the more potent 550-horsepower Scat Pack Plus. Both configurations receive a comprehensive suite of enhancements, including a carbon-fiber front splitter and rear spoiler for improved aerodynamics and a more aggressive look. A functional carbon-fiber hood with an integrated scoop and a cold-air intake system contribute to both aesthetics and performance. To signify its exclusivity, each vehicle will feature a distinctive graphics package and a limited-series plaque.
Pricing, Availability, and Color Options for the Limited Edition
The Mopar '27 package will add an additional $10,995 to the price of both the R/T and Scat Pack models. Production is strictly limited to a total of 270 units for the North American market, with 27 designated for Canada and the majority allocated to the United States. Enthusiasts will have a choice of three striking exterior colors: the elegant Diamond Black, the crisp White Knuckle, and the vibrant, playfully named Bludicrous.
Performance Prowess: The Charger's Untamed Spirit
While the color options are bold and eye-catching, they perfectly complement the Charger's inherent character. Known for its assertive stance and powerful presence, the Charger lives up to its name, embodying speed and dominance. Both the R/T and Scat Pack variants deliver exhilarating acceleration, thanks to their all-wheel-drive systems, providing exceptional grip off the line. The Scat Pack, in particular, boasts acceleration times that can rival even the legendary original Challenger Hellcat, showcasing its formidable performance capabilities.
Showcasing the Mopar '27: From Drag Strip to SEMA
Stellantis has strategic plans to debut these special Mopar '27 editions. The vehicles will first be showcased at the high-octane NHRA Las Vegas Nationals drag races, offering a thrilling first look at their performance potential. Following this, they will take center stage at Mopar's annual booth at the prestigious SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show. The SEMA show car will further impress with additional factory-authorized upgrades, such as performance springs, a free-flowing cat-back exhaust system, and imposing 21-by-11-inch wheels, highlighting the extensive customization possibilities.
Expanding the Mopar Presence at SEMA
Beyond the Mopar '27 Chargers, the SEMA show will also feature other exciting additions from the brand. This includes a pair of Ram Rumble Bee pickups, one of which is expected to boast an astounding 900 supercharged horsepower. Additionally, three of the custom vehicles from the Easter Jeep Safari will be on display, along with a unique "Ugly Sweater" trail armor concept for the Jeep Wrangler, catering to those who wish to infuse their off-road adventures with festive flair.
Mopar: A Storied History of Innovation and Passion
The name "Mopar" is a blend of "Motor" and "Parts," reflecting its origin as Chrysler's in-house antifreeze brand. Since its inception in 1937, Mopar has evolved significantly. Today, it serves as a comprehensive umbrella term encompassing not only vehicles manufactured under the former Chrysler corporate structure but also Stellantis's genuine parts and accessories division. Celebrating nearly a century of heritage, this special-edition Charger is a fitting tribute to Mopar's enduring legacy of innovation, performance, and passion for all things automotive.
