Sergio Marchionne, CEO of FCA Chrysler laid out a 5 Year Plan to investors in Italy last month that will be his swan song before leaving in April 2019.

But this week he leaves it to his minions at Maserati and Alfa Romeo to hash the details as to how the Ítalo-American auto company will become electrified.

The Don Schumacher Racing Dodge Charger funny cars drivers didn’t get off to the same strong start in 2018 that they had in the past few years, but with Matt Hagan winning his second straight event this past weekend, DSR cars have now won three races in a row – breaking up the early season dominance of the John Force Racing Chevrolet Camaros.

The sales numbers for June 2018 are in and as expected, the Ford Mustang leads the race for the annual muscle car sales title, leading the Dodge Challenger by about 5,000 units while the Chevrolet Camaro continues to fall far behind the cross-town rivals.

The 2019 Dodge Charger doesn’t benefit from the same high performance improvements as the Challenger, but the world’s most powerful sedan lineup does get a variety of upgrades for the new model year.

The 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is a remarkable performance machine with 797 horsepower, but even more impressive is the pricing with this supercharged machine starting at just $69,650 before gas guzzler tax and destination fees – while out-the-door pricing for the standard body width starting at $72,695.

We knew that the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat would be getting a new grille design with at least one added vent, but spy shots of a new Scat Pack model shows that other models will get the new grille design and – as expected – there is a vent on both sides of the new design.

After Dodge has focused on air flow in teaser images for the 2019 Challenger and 2019 Charger in Hellcat trim, I have to wonder if this focus on air flow might be a hint to more horsepower for the new model year – possibly numbers that will rival the new Corvette ZR1 and the upcoming Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang.

A Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat nearly got into the 9-second range this past weekend and while that is impressive, what makes this Mopar muscle car newsworthy is the fact that it got so close to the 9s without any major changes to the vehicle – just wheels and tires, a stronger driveshaft, a tune of the engine and transmission and the oh-so-important driver mod.

Dodge has revealed the grille of the 2019 Hellcat Charger and while much of what we can see in this image appears to be the same as the current version, the new model year has an added air inlet port in the grille right next to the driver’s side headlight – likely funneling fresh air towards the supercharged Hemi.
