After the huge success of the drag racing-oriented 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, Dodge has shaken up the muscle-car world with a fury of new models like the Challenger SRT HELLCAT Redeye, Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320, and the Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT Widebody. While it seems that the Dodge//SRT brand has pushed production of the next-generation back an additional two model years to 2023 (sorry, to disappoint fans), it isn’t stopping the performance brand from making even more crazy models for the next two model years.

According to close sources to MoparInsiders.com, it seems that Dodge is quietly working on a surprise to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Challenger nameplate next year. That surprise, according to our sources is a new road racing trim for the Challenger.

That’s right, a road course-oriented factory race car. The car will feature an extreme aerodynamics upgrade for maximum downforce and will feature some of the same technology that went into the GEN V (fifth-generation) Dodge Viper ACR (American Club Racer). Matter of fact, it seems that this special edition Challenger will wear the ACR nameplate.

This wouldn’t be the first time that the Challenger carried the ACR nameplate. Dodge and Mopar brought a concept car to the 2011 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. The concept was a Challenger SRT8 featuring a vast amount of lightweight materials, including lots of carbon fiber. The car was one of the starring cars of the show, but never really gained traction due to cost to manufacturing.
