Widebody Dodge Charger Spotted During Commercial Shoot

Instagram user eviil_srt, so named for his sinister-looking Chrysler 300 SRT8, posted a video in which he claims to have caught a production-ready Charger widebody in the midst of filming a commercial.

The video quality is perplexingly horrendous and involves plenty of unnecessary hooting noises coming from the camera operator, but we’ll cut him some slack. As a Mopar fan, he can’t be expected to remain sane in situations like these. Tapping down the enthusiasm is for saner people responding to other brands.

A staunch consumer advocate tracking industry trends and regulation. Before joining TTAC, Matt spent a decade working for marketing and research firms based in NYC. Clients included several of the world’s largest automakers, global tire brands, and aftermarket part suppliers. Dissatisfied with the corporate world and resentful of having to wear suits everyday, he pivoted to writing about cars. Since then, that man has become an ardent supporter of the right-to-repair movement, been interviewed on the auto industry by national radio broadcasts, driven more rental cars than anyone ever should, participated in amateur rallying events, and received the requisite minimum training as sanctioned by the SCCA. Handy with a wrench, Matt grew up surrounded by Detroit auto workers and managed to get a pizza delivery job before he was legally eligible. He later found himself driving box trucks through Manhattan, guaranteeing future sympathy for actual truckers. He continues to conduct research pertaining to the automotive sector as an independent contractor and has since moved back to his native Michigan, closer to where the cars are born. A contrarian, Matt claims to prefer understeer — stating that front and all-wheel drive vehicles cater best to his driving style.

    I'd take one of these in Scat Pack form with the 392 Hemi in Plum Crazy Purple.

    That does not look like a wide body to me.

      @Lorenzo All those Jeeps are FWD/AWD, like the 500L. I'm not sure if its even possible to build RWD and FWD vehicles off the same platform. Even if you could, I would think the resulting vehicles would have too many compromises to be viable.

    yeah, that videographer is pretty much the stereotype of a Charger/Challenger buyer . Then again,no one gets that excited posting about a Prius.

    "no one gets that excited posting about a Prius." Why? There is nothing more exciting than Prius with V8.
