Stellantis Brings The HEMI Back !!

[Nxcoupe]

I've wondered about that and pondered as to why.
Maybe the buying public felt betrayed with the switch to EVs and just stepped away from Dodge as a result?

Interest rates and pricing.

I believe that article is wishful thinking. There is no more challenger as now the charger is a 2 door. The hemi is back as an option for the ram, maybe. Nothing has changed so far as I've heard.

Someone has been running an engine survey on the RAM forum and the last I checked 75% wanted a Hemi in their new RAM. The turbo 6 for 2025 seems to be having a lot of initial issues but not so much with the engine itself. More with the electronics, engine management hardware/software and wiring harness. Most who actually work their pickups hard with towing and daily business are pretty leery of a 3 liter engine running 20+ psi boost and heat generation.

Engine itself too. Mostly misfires. Cold start misfires, misfires under load, etc. The issue with just slapping a hemi in these new vehicles is the engine control electronics. We would have to design the new stuff to control the hemi and then have the feds approve it. Time suck.

A few of the “insiders” on YouTube have reported that there already is a test mule charger with the hemi going through, well, testing. It’s been confirmed that a V8 fits in the new charger. And, there may be a hellcat option for the 300.

That link doesn't work for me, it says the PowerNation.com domain name is for sale.

I thought earlier reports said that the hemi flat out wouldn't even fit in the new Charger without a major redesign.

I got the same domain name is for sale message too.

I was able to reach the PN article by typing part of the article title into Google search and hit enter.

See if this link works for you. It works for me.

I’m not real hip on the new charger design myself... and the thought of whatever platform it got slapped together on doesn’t appeal to me. So it looks like a truck if I’d get a new hemi. It’s good to hear but no changes in my dept. I’m not into the whole Stellantis thing. I felt their goals were one platform and everything is using it regardless good or bad and just change a few stickers and a steering wheel air bag and boom it’s a different model because we want maximum profit not quality. Stellantis has a VERY VERY VERY long road to travel to get my attention. Far worse then when we got stuck with Benz. Make it like they used to be when Chrysler was real, design, build and serviced by Americans not overseas pulling the strings and keeping our money. Just my opinion but it’s time to bring it back.

I need a new hat that says Make Chrysler Great Again!
Fiat is well known as the whore of the ag world, mix them into the auto world and some French fags and it’s a huge mess and only an American can fix. Thanks Barrack !

Also lost me when they wouldn`t sell it back to a Chrysler decendant , forget , maybe it was a grandson ...???

I don't give a f@¢k what they put them in just keep making and selling them. We need them to keep powering the old cars. Once all of us dinosaurs die off the kids will need those hemis to repower all the 318/360/383/ /6 cars that so many have "keeping stock", or otherwise known as boring.

Think of it maybe another way Kern...Who these days can afford one when the costs to purchase are so inflated that the average buyer cannot even consider buying one let alone pay the costs of financing if they have to and do not pay in cash outright!!! Not Watachee here!!! cr8crshr/Bill

The great thing about my 53 year-old Plymouth is that it's never had a sensor go bad, timing belt need changing, bad TIPM or faulty airbag warning light pop up on the dash. It's never had a cracked manifold, broken bolts, blown turbo, or had the emergency brake come on by itself.

The one or two electrical issues I've had meant simply replacing a 53 year-old, $20 wiring harness.

I think Stallantis should move in this direction. Forget about trying to keep up with the tech of others and focus on simplicity and quality. Chrysler always created its own path while others followed. Time Stallatis grew some cajones and did the same. Big. Beautiful. Simple.

Give me simplicity any day.

Hmm.... wonder if any events in November and January had anything to do with this ?

I think the events of all last year had a lot to do with it.
Stellantis Q4 and year-end U.S. sales both decline, as automaker loses market share

They ditched the EV loven' old CEO, who ran it into the ground with the EV BS
& now back to someone that likes I.C.E.
smarter more sensible thinkers, not ideologists kissing every WOKE/UN govt.'s ***

For the most part... then with the events in early November and middle January were the impetus that hit.
