"Dodge wants to honor those on the frontlines of this crisis who are working fearlessly everyday to protect our communities and the people who live in them," said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA – North America. "We're calling upon the Brotherhood of Muscle to tell us the stories of the heroes in their lives who are performing extraordinary work, day in and day out, during this pandemic, and we'll share the most compelling stories and honor these brave individuals across our social media channels, including a page dedicated to them on DodgeGarage.com." 

To bring together and keep the brand's social media following of more than 11 million enthusiasts entertained when at home, Dodge is offering social content, including "Hide the Hellcat," hiding the Hellcat logo in posts across its social media channels. And with sporting events cancelled, Dodge will soon give fans something to cheer for when it takes its videos featuring some of the brand's most thrilling and heart-pounding stunts and creates brackets for enthusiasts to pick their favorites. The brand will also launch weekly "How Much Horsepower" quizzes in May, where fans will be asked to guess how much horsepower they see in the select videos posted across the brand's social media channels for a chance to become eligible to win select prizes and merchandise.

More content will roll out across Dodge social media channels from April through the end of summer in August, including "Horsepower from Home," featuring some of Dodge//SRT's lead exterior and interior designers and engineers live from their home garages. From what's under the hood to how it sounds behind the wheel, these Dodge experts will give intimate, yet informal tours of what's in their garage.
