Mopar is Roaring in to SEMA 2025- See the High Horse-Power Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 HEMI Leading the Way

Mopar creates after-market upgrades to Stellantis vehicles. It has grown into a multi-million dollar arm of the automaker as vehicle owners continue to customize and personalize their vehicles. Often, upgrades improve the function of vehicles, some boost horsepower and performance. Mopar has released two sneak peeks into what they will be offering at this year’s 2025 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, Nov. 4-7. Mopar says it has prepared a “wide and wild array of customized vehicles” and hundreds of quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories for its SEMA display. The Mopar concepts for 2025 include a wild green 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI V-8 and a purple 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK. 

2026 Lime Green Ram 1500 HEMI

The 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI concept sports a vibrant lime green color. Jeep and Dodge have featured stand out colors like this in the past. The concept also has the new fender-mounted Symbol of Protest badge, created by the Ram design team. The badge outlines the Ram’s head pushing forward, powered by a HEMI V-8 block. The 5.7-liter HEMI is rated at 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft of torque, featuring eTorque hybrid technologyThe truck which has been selling like crazy with the 5.7L. HEMI engine, appears to have a special hood with a scoop in it. It is hard to see from the side, but it also sports black hood graphics. The truck does not appear to be lifted. The concept has decorative black stripes on the side. The stripes are wider than pinstriping and appear to run the length of the truck.

I can’t begin to theorize about the importance of the cowboy hat hanging off the side mirror. Perhaps the concept will carry a cowboy-inspired name. 

When Ram announced the return of the 1500 with 5.7L HEMI eTorque engine, it received 10,000 orders in the first 24 hours. That would suggest that there are thousands of new Ram owners who are anxious to personalize their vehicles. Whether it is special hoods and fender flares or bed liners and special racks, Mopar has hundreds of options for each type of vehicle. Ram will gauge the reaction that the different concepts receive at public shows like SEMA, and often the concepts will return as special packages that buyers can order straight from the factory. 

I had the opportunity to drive the 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI recently. You can read about that here. 

2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Concept

The rendering doesn’t show us much about the SIXPACK concept other than the incredible purple color. It is easy to spot that it is the SIXPACK gas-powered version because the vehicle doesn’t have the front spoiler that is visible on the Daytona EV models.  I know there is a lot of excitement about Dodge returning to its ICE roots. The EV was never very well received. Many gear heads had trouble envisioning the Daytona as a muscle car. The gas-powered version gives lots of opportunity for customizing. I’m sure Mopar will have different exhausts and engine performance upgrades available.  

The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack gets its name from its  turbocharged SIXPACK high-output (H.O.) engine. The Charger does 0-60 in 3.9-seconds. It runs the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph. It has 550-horsepower. 

Special 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack Features:

• SIXPACK-powered Charger models feature standard all-wheel drive when you need it, rear-wheel drive when you want it
• Drifting and donuts: Charger’s class-exclusive rear-wheel-drive mode sends 100% of torque to the rear wheels, delivering effortless drifts and donuts on demand
• Launch Control improves off-the-line acceleration and allows drivers to generate the highest possible boost pressure on launch

2025 SEMA Show

The Specialty Equipment Market Association Show takes place November 4-7, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Technically, the SEMA Show is a trade-only event but this year it will be open to the public on Friday, November 7th. There will be thousands of different displays. Automotive television and YouTube shows will be taping and holding live events. Plus, you get to see the very latest in after market products from windshield wipers to tires to off-roading and overlanding gear.
