From stock daily driver to weekend drag toy, to now, a track-capable wide body concept complete with a full suite of modifications, our 2023 Dodge Hornet GLHS concept came together in a way that exceeded our expectations. From the git-go we knew that making the Hornet more aggressive in the looks department was high on our list, and by taking design cues from the likes of the Dodge Charger and Durango, we were able to accomplish this. We then looked at both the Challenger and Charger wide-bodies which pushed us even further. The finishing touch came by way of the Hornet’s 2.0L turbocharged engine which took us back to past turbo cars like the Dodge Omni GLHS, Shelby Charger and of course, the SRT-4 Neon. With that in mind, we knew our Hornet had to perform as good or better than it looked.

To prove this, we headed out to the Southern California desert, to a little-known racetrack called Apple Valley Speedway, for a full-on track test where the results proved to us that the 2023 Dodge Hornet GT may just be, thanks to Direct Connection and some imagination, one of the best tuning platforms on the market!
