The 2023 model year will mark the last call for the Dodge Charger and Challenger in their current from before they likely become electric cars. Dodge is celebrating by offering a spate of bright colors and plans to release seven new special editions. Dodge is even offering a convertible conversion for the Challenger through an outside supplier. Show The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was supposed to exist only as a 2021 model, but now Dodge is bringing it back for 2023. It will have the same 710-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that makes it the fastest gas-powered SUV on the planet with a 3.5-second 0-60 mph time and a 180-mph top speed. Changes to the fueling system to meet LEVIII evaporative emissions permitted the comeback. Polestar may be a young company, but the Volvo spinoff confirmed its sixth model, appropriately called the Polestar 6. It's an exciting car, too, as it takes the form of a two-seat roadster with up to 884-hp based on the O2 concept shown earlier this year. Look for it in 2026. You'll find these stories and more in today's car news, right here at Motor Authority.

Zac's love for cars started at a young age, after seeing the popular Eleanor from Gone In 60 Seconds. From there, fascination and enthusiasm blossomed and to this day the Ford Mustang remains a favorite. His first job started out detailing cars, but also provided the opportunity to work on restoration including an 1968 Ford Mustang, Ford Firebird, and a C3 Corvette, though he left that job before further work and experience could be had. From there, he was a detailer at a car dealership before quitting that job to try and finish college. Much of his free time while studying was spent watching YouTube videos regarding new cars, or off-roading. 4WD247 is a personal favorite channel which rekindled a dying flame in car enthusiasm, now tailored towards trucks and SUVs and the fun that can be had building up an overlanding rig, and going on adventures, though, that chapter remains unwritten for the time being.
