Dodge is making cars like it’s still 1970 – and they’re not stopping anytime soon, as evidenced by these 2019 Challenger Hellcat teasers.

The images come from a tweet by Dodge, showing a blue Hellcat with fender flares and a new hood scoop arrangement. The previous Hellcat used a NACA-style scoop reminiscent of the 1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda and the Dodge Viper. But this time, Mopar has rummaged around in their long history of cool muscle car hoods and made a modern recreation of the 1970-71 Plymouth ‘Cuda hood.

The new design has two symmetrical scoops and is claimed to be 100 per cent functional by Dodge. There’s no mention of a power increase or cooling improvements, so we can rather safely assume that the change was made for the sake of looking cool. And that’s just fine with us.

The Challenger Hellcat has been around since 2015. Its 707 horsepower is still class-leading, but no doubt Dodge is looking for ways to freshen up the Hellcat and win over even more buyers and fans.
