The automotive world is abuzz with excitement as Dodge unveils its latest iteration of the iconic Charger. A perennial favorite among enthusiasts and law enforcement alike, the Charger has become synonymous with power, performance, and a touch of American muscle. However, as the public eagerly awaits the arrival of the new Charger.
In a recent press conference, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis addressed the query about the potential for a Pursuit version of the new Charger. His response has only fueled the speculation, stating, "it's definitely on our radar." While this suggests that Dodge is considering the possibility, Kuniskis stopped short of providing a concrete confirmation, leaving the fate of the police-spec Charger hanging in the balance.
Though Dodge does not disclose Charger sales breakdowns by trim, Kuniskis did acknowledge the crucial role that law enforcement plays in the Charger's business. Since Ford discontinued the Crown Victoria in 2012, the Charger has seamlessly stepped into the void, becoming the sedan of choice for police departments across the nation, spanning local, state, and federal agencies.
While the Charger has proven its mettle in the law enforcement realm, the future of the Pursuit version remains uncertain. Kuniskis emphasized that no firm decisions have been made, leaving enthusiasts and law enforcement officials alike eagerly awaiting an official announcement.
The upcoming Charger lineup introduces new variants, including the all-electric Charger Daytona slated for release later this year and the inline-six gas-powered Charger "Sixpack" expected in 2025. It remains unclear which platform the Charger Pursuit, if produced, will be based on. Whether it aligns with the electric future or embraces the traditional gas-powered performance, the Charger Pursuit could offer law enforcement agencies a cutting-edge and customizable solution.
If past models are any indication, a Charger Pursuit would likely provide law enforcement administrators with a range of customization choices. This flexibility ensures that agencies can tailor their fleet to meet specific operational needs, enhancing performance, safety, and functionality.
With the Charger Daytona set to arrive at dealerships in the coming months, it's only a matter of time before Dodge unveils its plans for one of America's most popular police vehicles. Until then, the automotive community, law enforcement agencies, and Charger enthusiasts will eagerly anticipate the official word on the fate of the Charger Pursuit, eagerly awaiting details that could shape the future of law enforcement vehicles.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
