- Dodge CEO, Matt Mcalear, said V8 was no longer a dirty word with Carlos Tavares missing.
- A new programming propelled by the hemi is easier to say than due to policy and compliance problems.
- The Hornet GLH concept comes into production, while the 5.7 -liter V8 could be built in Michigan.
The Dodge Charger Daytona landed with a predictable deaf noise because the “fraternity of the muscles” did not care about a too expensive electric muscle car. Consequently, it is not uncommon to see new cars announced for $ 10,000 below the PDSF.
The help is on the road, because a 3.0 -liter hurricane with two online turbo to six will arrive by this summer, but the fans still want the hemi power. This despite the fact that the six -cylinder outlets the old V8 of 5.7 and 6.4 liters with 420 hp outputs (313 kW / 426 PS) and 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS).

However, with Carlos Tavares firmly in the rear view mirror, the V8 rumor mill worked on all cylinders. The CEO of Dodge, Matt Mcalear, recently approached a conversation with the reader, saying to the publication “One of the things that encourage is that with the change of leadership, you know, the V8 are no longer a bad word in the company. “
However, the V8s of 5.7, 6.2 and 6.4 liters are quite old at this stage and McAlAar alluded to compliance problems. He also mentioned that even if President Trump is eager to relax the regulations, he will only be in office for four years. It is not very long when you consider that it takes about two years to develop a new engine.
Although this seems to question a new Hemi, McArcaar noted that the Charger Daytona has just launched and we have not even seen the SRT variant yet. He continued by saying, “We are just starting. We will have a lot of fun.
In addition to talking about Hemi Power, McCalear told The Drive that a production version of the Hornet GLH concept is coming and should arrive later this year. Although the concept was quite forgettable, it included unique graphics, a double exhaust system and 20 -inch wheels.
Returning to Hemi Power, Mopar Insiders recently pointed out a “source of confidence” told them that Stelllantis was preparing to restart the production of the 5.7 -liter V8. If we believe the report, production will move from Mexico to Dundee, Michigan. The publication continues by saying that the engine could be installed in the Dodge Durango as well as the RAM 1500.
