Exciting News from Dodge
Dodge is stirring up excitement worldwide with the sporty and stylish Hornet, a vehicle that showcases European design influences from its lineage with Alfa Romeo.
However, performance enthusiasts have eagerly awaited a more exhilarating version than the current plug-in hybrid models available.
Fans can finally look forward to the arrival of the highly anticipated Hornet GLH, a high-performance variant set to hit the market this year.
The Legacy of the GLH Badge
In a recent chat with The Drive, Dodge CEO Matt McAlear shared his excitement about the Hornet GLH concept.
He hinted that the official unveiling is on the horizon and mentioned that even his sons can’t stop asking about when they can expect to see it.
The GLH badge has a rich heritage tied to the legendary Carroll Shelby and stands for “Goes Like Hell.” With that thrilling legacy in mind, car enthusiasts are eager to see if the new Hornet GLH will live up to this excitement.
It’s anticipated to deliver more horsepower than its predecessor, the Dodge Omni GLH, which had a respectable 146 horsepower from its turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
While the Hornet GLH might be a bit heftier than the Omni—which weighed in at just over 2,000 pounds—performance is expected to be a key highlight.
Performance Enhancements and Pricing
Mopar Direct Connection components are already being integrated into the Hornet GLH, and Dodge has developed several “stage kits” designed to enhance performance and lower the ride height.
Although details are still a bit scarce, early indications suggest that this SUV will offer superior pricing and performance compared to the existing R/T Plus model.
McAlear also noted that the team at Dodge is carefully considering the pricing strategy for the new Hornet.
With a starting price set at an impressive $29,995, the focus will increasingly be on traditional internal combustion engine models this year.
In conclusion, the Hornet GLH is poised to be a remarkable addition to the Dodge family, stirring excitement in automotive enthusiasts and igniting passion among drivers everywhere.
Keep an eye out for its grand reveal!
