Admit that teasing a Tesla Plaid behind the wheel of a Dodge would look impressive. Unfortunately, this will only be possible on a racetrack.
Dodge is making its big debut this year in the very popular American championship Nitrocross with four Dodge Hornet R/T FC1-X. If you are a bit familiar with Rallycross, Nitrocross is the same… a thousand times better or worse depending on your point of view! A kind of organized chaos where overpowered cars compete on 10 tracks with changing surfaces, from asphalt to dirt to cobblestones. All of this, of course, includes jumps of several dozen meters. A good old American show, quite heavy but with zero emissions thanks to the adoption of a 100% electric regulation.
The Dodge Hornet R/T FC1-X, an all-wheel-drive race car with over 1,070 horsepower. It can reach 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.4 seconds with 2 Gs of acceleration. This is nothing like the standard Hornet, a versatile hybrid SUV with “only” 288 horsepower. The Nitrocross version does indeed feature a carbon fiber body that takes design cues from the production model, but underneath it has a tubular chassis, double-wishbone suspensions, and suspensions capable of absorbing landings from jumps of over 60 meters.
The star of the team is named Lia Block. It’s not surprising if her name sounds familiar since her father is none other than the late Ken Block, a motorsport legend who became famous thanks to his spectacular Gymkhanas. At just 17 years old, Lia has already made history as the youngest champion of the American Rally Association. She is also the only woman in the field this season.
