The voice you hear in the video just below appears to be from Instagram user eviil_srt, and as you can tell, he’s quite the Mopar superfan. Thing is, the car you see in that video appears worthy of such a fan’s adoration. It’s clearly a

Dodge Charger

Widebody, a vehicle that we’ve been anxiously awaiting ever since it was

revealed in prototype form by Mark Trostle

, head of design for

Dodge

and SRT, at Spring Fest 14.

Actually, we’ve been seeing hints of the wide

Charger

far longer than that – it was

spotted testing on public roads

before its officialish debut, and even prior to that, the car’s

rumored

existence had

the Internet rumbling

with the force of a 700-plus-horsepower supercharged Hemi V8

for months

. All that preamble brings us back to the present and the

aforementioned Instagram post

, in which this upcoming production Widebody was spotted presumably filming for an official television commercial debut.

Note the body-color license plate on the

Challenger

Widebody in the video, which indicates it’s probably being used for an official purpose by Dodge. It’s a short clip, but just long enough that we can clearly make out a big rear wing, vented bumper cover, and deep diffuser punctuated by large dual exhaust tips. We also see some extremely wide tires front and rear, which makes sense considering that there’s very likely a whole corral’s worth of ponies underhood.

The current

Dodge Challenger

Widebody style is offered on the 485-horsepower R/T Scat Pack trim level, the SRT Hellcat trim level that bumps horsepower all the way to 717, and, for buyers who really hate their rear tires, the 797-hp Hellcat Redeye trim level. Dodge hasn’t yet extended the excessively powerful Redeye engine to the Charger line, but the other two levels seem likely. And who knows – the Widebody’s introduction might be the perfect opportunity to build a Charger Redeye. In any case, the fact that Dodge is filming commercials indicates that we won’t have to wait much longer to find out for sure.
