In the world of muscle cars, Ford is currently the only company competing since Dodge dropped their Challenger and Charger duo. The latest generation Mustang from Ford offers both four-pot and V8 power. While a track-focused and expensive GTD is in the works, the highly anticipated new Shelby GT500 is still more than a year away.
According to recent reports, Dodge’s upcoming Charger muscle car, possibly called the Daytona, is set to debut on March 5. Spy shots and insider information suggest that it will closely resemble the 2022 Charger Daytona SRT Concept, with a few updates here and there. The model is expected to be based on the STLA Large platform and will feature electric power. Additionally, it is rumored to come with a 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six engine.
As for the future of the Chevy Camaro, GM has only confirmed that the name will make a comeback. The timing and details of its return are still unknown, but we speculate that it will be part of a next-generation muscle car. With Ford’s success in the market, it would make sense for GM to compete in this segment. Hopefully, the seventh-generation Camaro will continue to offer traditional internal combustion engine power alongside rumored electric options, and ideally, it won’t abandon the V8 engine.
Moving away from future models, let’s take a look at a classic muscle car from GM’s past: the Chevelle SS. This particular model is a second-generation car from 1970, featuring the hot SS configuration. Rendered by 412donklife, it exudes a donk-ish vibe, although it’s not a true donk. The donk moniker is reserved for the 1971 to 1976 Caprice and Impala models with significant modifications, such as large wheels.
The virtual model of the Chevelle SS showcases modern oversized alloys that may divide opinions. However, they are one of the standout features of this design. The wheels are partially tucked under the arches thanks to the height-adjustable suspension and sport a shiny finish, matching other exterior elements like the bumpers, window trim, and mirror caps.
The rest of the car maintains a sleek black appearance, accentuated by racing stripes. It is a stunning vehicle that could inspire enthusiasts to recreate this look. After all, who wouldn’t love a shiny classic muscle machine that steals the spotlight at any car meet?
