That's not a concept car, that is a modified 68 Charger used only to display their new engine....it will only be the engine made available

That's what I got standing there watching it in person. Definitely a modified '68 Charger commemorating it being 50 years old.

If you would have panned left just a little bit, you could have had a great pic of the back of my head. LOL!  :ohyeah:

Ahh, to bad, we could have said hi and had a Dodge beer from the truck :)
And I was wearing my new e-bodies T-shirt, in case someone from the forum was there.

Its interesting the Chevy announced an electric Copo Camaro 700hp  - https://www.hotrod.com/articles/chevrolet-unveils-ecopo-electric-race-car-concept-2018-sema-show/

Clearly the two automotive manufacturers are going in different directions.

I talked to one guy from the Chevy design team for 45 min. today, very interesting to hear about how they did it.
Two 3-phase electric motors on the same axle, into a "normal" tranny with a torque converter. Running 800 volt/40 Amps batteries
The 2 boxes on top of the engine is converts DC to AC and controls the power to the motors. It's built for dragrace, he said Chevy probably never would build this
for the street because of security (800V) and liability.
