Dubai, UAE: Dodge has unleashed a heart-pounding motoring experience in Dubai that will give adrenaline junkies the chance to test out the full power of Dodge vehicles in a safe and controlled environment.
With more than 45 years of muscle-car heritage coursing through its veins, Dodge has a legacy of performance embodied by its famous muscle cars, the Charger and Challenger and the SRT® range.
The ‘Dodge Muscle Experience’ builds on this with three unique experiences featuring the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack and the Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat Widebody.
Thrill seekers who want to taste real power can now choose from two exhilarating drifting experiences, available to book internationally so that both residents and tourists have the chance to enjoy. The ‘Charger Drift Taxi’ is a white-knuckle ride for the whole family where Dodge’s experienced professional drift drivers will take guests on thrilling drift laps around the Dubai Autodrome, including sideways slides and the ‘rollercoaster effect’.
Those who are ready to experience jaw-dropping G-forces can take on the ‘Challenger Drift Experience’, which takes the tempo, tyre screeching and smokiness a notch higher with faster and more aggressive drifting around Dubai’s popular racetrack.
Motoring enthusiasts looking to tame their beast, improve their street cred and get the maximum performance from their Dodge can sign up for the ‘Dodge Master Class’, the first ever American Muscle car drifting and advanced driving school by Dodge in the region. Under the guidance of professional Dodge instructors, participants can learn how to harness the power of their Dodge, master advanced driving techniques and become a ‘Dodge Certified Driver.
Jeff Ellsworth, Head of Brand at Dodge Middle East, said: “Motorsport and Drift-Racing continue to grow in popularity in this region, so there is a palpable demand for platforms that can provide the thrills and the skills desired by that audience, something that our one hundred years of racing heritage puts us in the best position to do. The ‘Dodge Muscle Experience’ also ensures that our customers are able to use their cars for what they were built for in a safe and fun environment.”
Graham McNamara, Managing Director at Prodrift Academy, said: “We at the Prodrift Academy are very excited to be partnering Dodge Middle East in creating the “Dodge Muscle Experience”. For the past six years we have been working hard on making the specialist sport of drifting more accessible to the general public and with our team of International instructors and the power and performance of the Dodge fleet, we are about to take the "Dodge Muscle Experience" to the next level of drift entertainment.”
The programme features two Dodge vehicles:

The 2019 model features Launch Assist and Line Lock for optimum performance at launch from a standstill, while a new switch on the dashboard provides quick access to initialize Launch Control, which coordinates the engine, transmission, driveline and suspension for an optimal launch and consistent straight-line acceleration.
Challenger SRT® Hellcat
The Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat Widebody is powered by a 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI® V8 with 717 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. torque, paired to the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.
