Why is Ford Benchmarking a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

What’s the Blue Oval doing?

It seems like Ford has something in mind, which is kind of contrary to what the company has been doing in recent years. Ford Authority reported a sighting in Dearborn of a Dodge Charger RT Hellcat. This page’s photo is just one of a handful of photos taken by the sighting. You can see the entire story in the publication.

Ford is also believed to own the four-door muscle car, as the Ford logo was visible on the vehicle entering Dearborn headquarters.

The question now is: What gives? Ford is comparing a four-door muscle car to its sedans, which it has already done in the US.

The answers lie in speculations that go back nearly three years. It was reported in 2018 that the Blue Oval was looking at a four-door V8-powered Mustang. According to the report, it was obtained from a dealer presentation in which information about a four door Mustang was revealed.

That was not the end of these rumors. After the birth of the Mustangmach-E, and the subsequent birth of a Mustang subbrand and a Bronco subbrand, hints about many Mustang spinoffs rose again. Yes, even a four-door version.

Although most of the information we have at the moment is based on rumors and reports from the past, we can’t help but believe Ford is up to something. Although the Charger SRT Hellcat benchmarking was only an indication, we hope that more information will be available to make a more definitive conclusion.

Do you really want a four-door Mustang? Ford should Ford go ahead with its plan to reduce the Mustang range. We’d love to hear your opinions in the comments below.
