Virtual Dodge SRT GTX Revival Gets CGI Studio Color Reel in Five Hues
A Dodge muscle car that does not exist has now been shown in five colors.
Mark
So what is actually new here? The car was already shown in Plum Crazy.
Mimi
The new part is the studio color reel. The same widebody SRT GTX now appears in black, B5 Blue, TorRed and White Knuckle, alongside the original Plum Crazy, all with a satin finish.
Mark
Why a GTX, and why now?
Mimi
Emmanuel says he finished a longtail Challenger concept, the Copperhead, and wanted more longtail American muscle. He picked the 1971 GTX as a strong candidate. SEMA is also weeks away, so Stellantis is in the conversation.
Luke
Let me be clear about what this is. It is one artist's render. Nothing says Dodge is planning a GTX.
Mimi
Right. It's unofficial and Stellantis has confirmed nothing.
Mark
He compares it to the Super Bee, though.
Mimi
He thinks his idea would be better because it has a Hemi V8 rather than the Hurricane inline-six. That's his opinion, not a product decision.
Luke
And the Copperhead's 1,000-plus horsepower is also part of a hypothetical design, not a spec from Dodge. The article doesn't give a powertrain for the GTX beyond the Hemi V8.
Mark
Is there anything real to watch?
Mimi
Dodge's SEMA showings. The announced Mopar '27 package is real, 270 units on the 2027 Charger R/T and Scat Pack Plus.
Luke
But that package says nothing about a GTX. Any link would be speculation.
O Pulso
- A Dodge muscle car that has never been built now wears five paint colors, and the fan community is taking notice.
- The renders arrive just ahead of SEMA 2026, a moment when manufacturers traditionally reveal their most provocative ideas.
- Emmanuel's pitch sets a Hemi V8 GTX against the inline-six Super Bee, staking a claim on what a true SRT successor should sound like.
- Nothing here is official: Stellantis has not confirmed any GTX plan, and the only announced Dodge package at SEMA sits on the Charger.
- The question now is whether Dodge's Las Vegas displays will hint at the GTX nameplate, or whether it stays a fan's fantasy.

Timothy Adry Emmanuel, known online as adry53customs, has rendered a Dodge SRT GTX in a range of colors, a car that exists only as light and pixels and as a fan's wish for what American muscle might still become. It arrives as Las Vegas gathers its automotive faithful for SEMA, when every maker is asking which of its past will return. Stellantis has said nothing of the sort, and so this GTX remains a dream of a machine, held up beside the ones that once were.
A Dodge muscle car that does not exist has now been shown in five colors. Timothy Adry Emmanuel, a virtual artist who posts as "adry53customs," has released a studio color reel for his imagined Dodge SRT GTX, a revival of a nameplate Plymouth last used decades ago. It is an unofficial fan design, not a Stellantis product.
The timing matters. The SEMA Show in Las Vegas is approaching, and Stellantis brands are preparing their displays. Dodge has already announced the Mopar '27 package on the 2027 Charger, marking 90 years of Mopar with just 270 units. Digital car creators like Emmanuel work in the same orbit.
The GTX follows his earlier speculative take on a Challenger longtail, which pictured the car returning on the STLA Large platform with a V8 above 1,000 horsepower. Emmanuel decided that more long-tailed American muscle deserved a place in his work, and the 1971 GTX stood out. Since Plymouth is defunct, he gives the name to Dodge, with an SRT twist.
His argument favors a Hemi V8 over the Hurricane inline-six of the latest Super Bee. The new reel shows the widebody coupe in black, B5 Blue, TorRed and White Knuckle, alongside the Plum Crazy from his first reveal, all with a satin sheen.
Nothing here comes from Stellantis, and no GTX plan has been confirmed. The thing to watch is whether Dodge's SEMA 2026 showings hint at the nameplate.

It is an unofficial fan design, not a Stellantis product.
The timing is not an accident. The 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, is close, and Stellantis is preparing to show work from its brands. Dodge has already announced its piece: the Mopar '27 package, offered on the 2027 Charger R/T and Scat Pack Plus to mark 90 years of Mopar. Only 270 units will be built. Ram, Jeep and Chrysler are also expected to appear in Las Vegas, and digital car creators like Emmanuel have been working in the same orbit.
The GTX is the second Stellantis-flavored project in a row for him. Not long ago he built his own take on the upcoming Dodge Copperhead, an unofficial, speculative design that brings the Challenger back from retirement as a longtail model on the STLA Large platform. In his version it carries a V8 making more than 1,000 horsepower and rides on a sport chassis meant to take on the Ford Mustang GTD, as well as the C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X.
The GTX followed from that work. Emmanuel has said that after finishing the longtail Challenger, he decided to bring more American muscle cars with longer tails into the picture, and that one of the best candidates for a modern reinterpretation is the GTX, which dates to 1971 in the form he references. Plymouth is a defunct brand, so in his concept Dodge would be the one to revive the name, and he gives it an SRT twist.
He also frames it as a better path than the latest Super Bee. His argument is about the engine: the SRT GTX would have a Hemi V8 under the hood, rather than the Hurricane inline-six. His first presentation showed the car in Plum Crazy, shown alongside a 1971 Plymouth GTX for comparison.
The new reel is a studio setting with the widebody, retro-modern coupe in additional colors: black, B5 Blue, TorRed and White Knuckle. Plum Crazy from the first reveal is part of the lineup too. All the finishes have a satin sheen, as though the car already wore paint protection film.
Nothing here comes from Stellantis. The renders are an artist's speculation, and there is no confirmation of any GTX plan. What to watch is whether Dodge's showings at SEMA 2026 offer any hint about the nameplate, though the Mopar '27 package, as announced, is built on the Charger.
