We've talked a lot about the Charger Hellcat recently, but one thing we haven't discussed is the dark, dirty secret about its hood: it's a secret tribute to the Ford ZX2. At least that's the speculation. You can decide based on the picture.

The rumor — which comes from a source deep inside the Chrysler Fiat Corporation inside my head, is that the hood design is a secret tribute to the designer's favorite car, a Ford ZX2. Naturally, as a Ford product, he couldn't make his love known, so he hid the ZX2's distinctive face in the hood intakes.

It's a beautiful story, really. I just hope I don't get anyone in trouble by revealing it to the world.
