Styling packages dress up Dodge Chargers, Challengers in Halloween colours
The Hemi Orange and SRT Black trims add accents to set off the muscle cars from their less-spooky siblings
Dodge will let buyers of select trims of 2022 Charger and Challenger dress up their rides with a hint of orange or black via a new Hemi Orange or SRT Black appearance package — released, yes, just in time for Halloween.
The automaker says the Hemi Orange kit – available shortly on GT RWD and Scat Pack Widebody models; and beginning 2022, Durango R/T models – is a throwback to the particular shade of engine paint used on the iconic Hemi V8 (having laid eyes on a few dozen 426 “Elephant” motors over the years, it looks a tad pale to our eyes, but you think Dodge’d know better than us).

That package adds an orange accent tracer stripe buried within a cluster of gunmetal-coloured bands; “orange outlines the Midnight Grey Metallic grille and fender badging,” Dodge explains in a press release, and on Scat Pack Widebody, coats the Brembo six-piston calipers, too. They stand out against Carbon Black “Warp Speed” 20-inch wheels (make those brakes four-pistons, and those wheels Medium Gloss Black, on GT RWD).
Inside, there’s orange stitching just about everywhere, plus some blacked-out trim pieces; an orange-and-black “392” instrument panel badge sits on the dash in the Scat Pack models.
If you’re not feeling the orange, there’s this news: the SRT Black package is making its way from the Durango SRT 392 to the SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye trims of the Charger and Challenger. This kit blacks out basically every badge on the outside of the car in Midnight Grey Metallic, along with exhaust tips, which get finished in Black Nickel.
Both the Hemi Orange and SRT Black packages should be made available winter 2021. The Canadian press release did not mention pricing, but in the U.S., the Hemi Orange kit will set you back US$2,995 (Performance Handling package included) on the GT RWD; and US$1,500 for Scat Pack Widebody. The SRT Black package adds just US$695 to the price tag.
