It’s possible you’ll not have even heard they had been gone, however they’re already again.
In response to a brand new report, Stellantis (mother or father firm of Dodge, Ram, and different manufacturers) will restart manufacturing of its Hemi V8 engine lineup in August. The restart contains not simply the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 but additionally the 6.4-liter 392 engine and the supercharged Hellcat engine that powered a era of high-performance muscle vehicles.
The corporate had steadily eliminated the engine from its lineup over the past two years. Probably the most highly effective engine discovered in lots of present Stellantis fashions is a high-output model of the turbocharged inline-6-cylinder Hurricane engine.
Fan website Mopar Insiders quotes unnamed sources to report that “following the departure of former CEO Carlos Tavares and shifting political influences,” all three engines will return to the Stellantis lineup.
MotorTrend stories that “each the 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter V-8s can be supplied in Ram 1500 fashions.” Mopar Insiders says, “Dodge engineers are actively working to deliver HEMI energy again to the all-new Dodge Charger.” Dodge gives the present Charger as a gas-powered and an all-electric mannequin.
The corporate has declined to touch upon the report, calling it “hypothesis” to MotorTrend.
