Printable Dodge Coloring Pages: Charger, Viper, Challenger

The Challenger Hellcat is recognizable because the proportions are pure muscle car: a long flat hood with a center scoop, a low fastback roofline, a wide stance over fat rear tires, and a split grille that hides quad round headlights behind it. The outline reads as 'fast' before any words are added.

The first Dodge Challenger ran from 1970 to 1974 as a two-door E-body muscle car. Dodge revived the nameplate in 2008 with a third-generation Challenger that copied the original's wide stance, recessed grille, and quad round headlights. That retro shape stayed mostly unchanged through 2023, which is unusual for a modern production car.

The Challenger Hellcat is one of the most powerful muscle cars ever sold to the public. Kids can color the long hood scoop, the quad round headlights, and the wide rear tires in Plum Crazy, Sublime green, Go Mango orange, or any wild Hellcat-inspired shade.

The Charger is recognizable for a long flat hood, a wide split grille that wraps almost the full width of the front, narrow recessed headlights, a low roofline, and a stance that looks lower at the front than the rear. Those proportions tell a viewer right away that this car was built around a big engine.

The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 as a fastback coupe built on the Coronet platform. It was Dodge's answer to the muscle-car wave kicked off by the Pontiac GTO and Ford Mustang. The second-generation 1968-1970 Charger, with its hidden headlights and Coke-bottle body, is the version most fans picture and the same shape that starred in the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard television show.

Dodge Chargers have been four-door muscle cars since the 2006 LX-platform revival, packing supercharged HEMI V8 power on top trims.

Dodge sold the second-generation Charger from 1968 through 1970, but gave the 1970 model a new loop-style front bumper and grille design distinct from the 1968 and 1969 cars, wrapping the bumper directly into the grille opening for a smoother, more unified nose. That new face makes the 1970 Charger the easiest of the three model years to identify at a glance, even though all three share the same basic body shape underneath.

Dodge engineers built vacuum-operated flip panels into the grille so the 1970 Charger's headlights stay completely hidden until switched on, a styling trick borrowed from expensive European sports cars of the era and rare on an affordable American muscle car.

Dodge unveiled the Charger Daytona concept in 2022 and put the production version on sale for the 2024 model year, making it the brand's first fully electric muscle car. It arrived as a two-door coupe, with a four-door Charger version following later, replacing both the old Charger sedan and the Challenger coupe under one nameplate.

Dodge calls the Daytona's electric powertrain the Banshee propulsion system. The top Scat Pack trim pairs dual motors with a 400-volt battery pack, and an optional Direct Connection Stage 2 upgrade kit pushes output up to roughly 670 horsepower for a 0-60 mph time near 3.3 seconds.

Dodge launched the Durango for the 1998 model year on a shortened version of the Dodge Dakota pickup's body-on-frame platform, giving the first generation real towing muscle for a mid-size SUV. That generation ran through the 2003 model year before a larger redesign arrived, and it quickly became one of Dodge's best-selling models of the era.

The 2004-2009 Durango grew onto a stretched platform shared with the Ram 1500, adding a third row and more cabin space than the original. Dodge paused the nameplate for the 2010 model year before bringing it back the following year on an all-new design.

Dodge first sold the Durango for the 1998 model year on a shortened Dakota pickup frame, and the badge has carried three separate generations since then, a timeline kids can trace right on this free printable sheet as they color in the crosshair grille.

Dodge introduced the modern Magnum for the 2005 model year, sharing its rear-wheel-drive LX platform with the Dodge Charger sedan and Chrysler 300. That shared underpinning meant the Magnum could be ordered with the same powerful engines as its sedan siblings, unusual for a wagon body style.

Chrysler's design team, led by Trevor Creed, kept the Magnum's roofline dead flat from the windshield to the tailgate, giving it a low, wide, shooting-brake stance instead of the rounded minivan-like look most wagons had at the time. That silhouette is what still makes the Magnum easy to spot in traffic today.

For 2006 and 2007, Dodge sold a Magnum SRT8 with a 6.1-liter HEMI V8 rated at 425 horsepower, turning a family wagon into one of the quickest wagons sold in America at the time.

Dodge first showed the Viper as a concept pacing the 1991 Indianapolis 500, and the reaction was strong enough that the production RT/10 roadster reached dealers for the 1992 model year with almost the same wild proportions as the show car.

The original Viper's 8.0-liter V10 traces its roots to a Dodge Ram truck engine, reworked with an aluminum block and heads by Lamborghini engineers, who Chrysler owned at the time. That truck-derived V10 gave the first Viper 400 horsepower in a car with no power steering, no anti-lock brakes, and barely any weather protection.

The Viper went through five generations between 1992 and 2017: the original SR I roadster, the SR II generation that added a hardtop GTS coupe in 1996, the redesigned ZB I of 2003-2006, the ZB II of 2008-2010, and the final VX-generation SRT Viper sold from 2013 through 2017.
