Electrified Dodge Hornet R/T: Power & Performance
The Dodge brand has started a new marketing campaign to debut the plug-in hybrid Dodge Hornet R/T, which is Dodge’s very first muscle car crossover. The name of the campaign is called “Inner Child Intervention” which represents a man’s inner child desiring an electrified Hornet R/T and conquering his dream of owning one. The Dodge Hornet offers all-wheel drive, Brembo brakes, and a dual-stage suspension. Another impressive electrified muscle car coming is the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and how it’s embracing its electric journey.
“The Hornet RT stands apart from other compact SUVs, with 383 lb.-ft. of torque that gives drivers the kind of instant acceleration and engaging driving experience that is unheard of in the category, as the first electrified vehicle from the brand – with our first fully battery-electric vehicle, the Dodge Charger Daytona, arriving this year – we know that when compared to horsepower, torque can sometimes be underappreciated. We’re launching this campaign to change that perception.” -Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis.
