These images of Dodge Charger chassis from the assembly plant were posted recently to Allpar’s forums by member con383, who only said they were “found online.” See our updated story.
The body shells, with a paper whose only readable letters are “TT,” appear to be ready for a standard engine, unless the apparent gasoline filler area is actually a port for a charger. The next-generation Dodge Charger is expected to take either a twin-turbo straight-six “Hurricane” engine, most likely in a hybrid setup, or batteries (Dodge Charger Daytona); a four-cylinder hybrid for the base model is also quite possible, since in the Jeep Wrangler this setup provides V8-type acceleration with V6-type mileage.
Most EVs and PHEVs keep their charging ports on the front fender; Tesla’s is on the rear. The apparent fuel filler door is most likely just that—a fuel filler door. In any case, there’s no question that Dodge will keep making gasoline powered Chargers—it will.
The provenance of these images is unknown, and they might not be a next-generation Charger or Challenger. These could be images from a prior project as easily as from the future 2025 Dodge Charger.
Why is it thought this is a Charger and not a Challenger?

It says Tool Try Out on the sides of the paper, that’s what the TT O stands for most likely

I’m truly excited about this new car. Like the Challenger is going to be leaving us. Definitely a Charger with the body lines and it definitely has the body lines of a ’68-’70 Charger. Hopefully it will retain the size of today’s Charger and hopefully that rear trunk will extend far enough to not give it a chopped off rear look. I am honestly excited about the car. I’m really looking forward to seeing what they actually do with the Hurricane powertrains. My hope is that they will make a 2.0L 375hp/450tq hybrid GT base trim, a 425hp/475tq 3.0L SO R/T, 520hp/510 3.0L HO R/T Superbee and 550hp/530 3.0L Cat-3 SRT6 below a 680hp 3.0L SO Hybrid Charger Daytona and a 728hp 3.0L Cat-3 Hybrid SRT Daytona as electrified variants and then maybe an 880hp Dual motor 800V Charger SRT Daytona Banshee and lastly, a 1,326hp Tri Motor electric Banshee 1320 as the top tier 800V Tesla killer. Keep the EVs as low volume Halo vehicles, give Direct Connection and Jailbreak packages to every trim level. make every trim level AWD standard and then seriously expand the Direct Connection catalog with all kinds of performance and cosmetic upgrades for this new Charger and the car would sell like hotcakes! vehicle wraps, graphics options (billboard style, Superbee style, single, dual and wide band tail band graphics, AAR style and T/A style graphics, etc.), hoods (Cuda style, roadrunner style, six pack style, air grabber, shaker hoods, 68-70 heat extractor hoods, Super Bee hoods, Demon dual scoop hoods, etc.), spoilers (modern Go-Wing, modern Gull Wing, duckbill spoiler & a modern Daytona wing), aero packages by Vicrez, grille options (68, 69 & 70 style), wheel options that are modern version of the old-school wheels, Recaro seat options, manual transmissions on non-hybrid trim levels obviously, shifter options (both manual and automatic), steering wheel options with illuminated air bag covers on other trims besides SRT, exhaust systems, Stage kits, brake options, suspension and chassis upgrades, etc. Legendary colors and modern colors need to make their ways onto this new car as well. Hopefully the taillights will be more dynamic like the ’69 & ’70 Charger taillamps as well. I just want mine in black!

In addition to all that, the cars should have a Super Drag pack option that gives the non hybrid cars the Redeye torque converter, HP90 transmission, and lower rear gears in the back with HD axles and upgraded driveshaft for better acceleration and durability along with upgraded suspension and bigger brakes. 4-piston front and rear Brembo brakes should be standard on the R/T model with 6-piston front options while the Superbee and up should have 6-piston front 4-piston rear Brembo brakes as standard with 8-piston front/6-piston rear options on everything above. Cars with that kind of speed and weight need extreme braking.
