The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Is About To Get A New Set Of Nostrils
Dodge is about to facelift the Challenger line-up for the 2019 model year, and the alterations will include a fantastic pair of nostrils for the Hellcat.
The FCA-owned brand dubs the new part a “dual-snorkel hood.” It’s fully-functional, and is deliberately riffing off Dodge’s muscle cars from the mid-60s and early 70s, albeit providing a “modern interpretation that looks even more sinister and provides maximum air intake to the supercharged powerplant.”
Speaking of which, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Hellcat’s 6.2-litre V8 receives a little tickle to push the power beyond its current 697bhp output.
We’ll know more about the 2019 Challenger’s changes this summer.

Meet the new Challenger. Still the same as the old Challenger.
But when is going to get a new chassis?? To be lighter and improve handling, the current one is at least 12 y/o now, out of the three, the Challeger is still the one that really looks like a muscle car and has the power to be it, a new chassis would just be perfection
I swear I’ve already seen this exact article on this site yesterday. Odd.
Anyone else seeing hints of Dodge Coronet in those nostrils?
TimothyCow23 Yup, you were right… hopefully it won’t look like trash.
Sniff sniff
It doesn’t really fit the car tbh
“A New Set Of Nostrils “
Reminds me of my the hood vents on the ‘70 Dodge Dart Swinger my Uncle used to have.
Is this facelift Armageddon?
