I'm admittedly not a fan of Stellantis, but knowing Dodge they'll give the Hemi one hell of a sendoff. They already have the crate Hellephant, wonder if they'll try to cram an emissions legal version of that in a Charger/Challenger/Durango?
Edit: Downvoters, explain yourself.
- sbierwagen 5y agoIf they're halting production of the V8 and replacing it with a V6, then presumably that means V8 crate engines won't be manufactured either.
- jdhn 5y agoFord still makes crate engines based on the 302 & 351, and Chevy still makes small & big block engines despite the fact that these architectures aren't in any production vehicle (the LS series of engines are based on Chevy's small block, but there's so many changes it may as well be a new architecture). I don't see why Stellantis wouldn't keep producing a small line of V8 engines for enthusiasts.
- whycombagator 5y agoNo idea why the downvotes. Dodge is great at running with an old design and milking the hell out of it. Currently we are on the “jailbreak” challenger/charger which everyone is excited about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Rumours that another challenger (like the demon) will carry the hellephant. However, covid and production issues may have quashed that. Also, thus far dodge has been clever to ensure no production car has exceeded the 808hp of the demon (red eye and jailbreak are just shy), so the rumours may just be that
