The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T's SIXPACK S.O., 3.0-liter, twin-turbo, inline-six engine delivers visceral sound, immediate response and a combined 23 mpg. Advanced engineering makes every drive more powerful and more efficient than the previous generation. Twin 50mm, low-inertia turbochargers spool up rapidly for near-instant boost, and counter-rotating turbine assemblies help cut lag and balance airflow for crisp throttle response.
Up to 22 psi of boost, and full peak torque by 2,500 rpm, put effortless low-end punch right under the driver's right foot. Precision direct fuel injection at 5,075 psi (350 bar) pairs with centrally mounted injectors for clean, controlled combustion. Oil-jet-cooled, cast-aluminum pistons, with an anodized top ring and DLC-coated pins, reduce friction and enhance durability when the revs and temps climb.
Dual overhead cams and wide-range, fully independent variable-valve timing optimizes power and efficiency across the rev range. The engine-mounted, water-to-air, charge-air cooler and its own dedicated cooling circuit keeps intake temps in check through repeated acceleration runs. The plasma transfer wire arc cylinder-bore coating creates an ultra-thin, robust, low-friction surface for long-term performance.

The standard all-wheel drive features an on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode that sends 100% of torque to the rear wheels at the push of a button. The twin-turbo SIXPACK S.O. produces 22 psi of peak boost and full torque by 2,500 rpm for immediate low-end response. The performance-tuned exhaust has an aggressive, modern-muscle character.
