This offering represents the first iteration of the new Charger model developed specifically for straight-line racing. The 2026 Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak is a highly limited production model, with only 50 units scheduled for assembly. Each one is individually numbered. The competition-only vehicle is engineered for immediate entry into the [NHRA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextgeneration-muscle-car) Factory Stock Showdown class. The car integrates the body design of the latest Charger with a purpose-built 354-cubic-inch supercharged HEMI V-8 engine. Significant engineering focus has been placed on reducing mass through the use of [carbon fiber for several body panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports) and other lightweight components. This has resulted in a total weight reduction of 100 pounds compared to its predecessor, the Challenger Drag Pak.
