The Dodge Magnum Hellcat was never sold. Call it cowardice or prudent business decision making, but Dodge killed the wagon variant of the Charger long before it had the gumption to build a 707-horsepower version. But with some elbow grease, JayeFab in Nevada has designed a kit to create your modern Magnum Hellcat Widebody fantasy.

Or, at least, something that looks like it. JayeFab’s kit is cosmetic only. That means the company has created the flared fenders, fascia adaptation, and aero bits to match what a modern Magnum Hellcat Widebody would look like, but hasn’t touched the motor. If you give them an SRT-8 Magnum, you’ll still have something that sounds like a muscle wagon, but to get Hellcat performance you’ll need to modify the drivetrain yourself.
JayeFab’s kit also isn’t the first modernized Magnum we’ve seen. The new front fascia is pretty easy to put on the old Magnum, though the flared fenders and other widebody bits are custom. Either way, whether you want a DIY solution or a kit from JayeFab, there are easy options for updating your Magnum’s looks. Once you have that, you can get to work underneath the sheetmetal.
While I’m not here to design your whole build for you, I will point out that Mopar will sell you a full 707-hp Hellcat crate motor. Or, if you’re feeling really adventurous, there’s the 1000-hp 426 “Hellephant.” Either should be a massive upgrade, but budget about $30,000 on top of the $5800 conversion kit from JayeFab.
