We should really get ready for Dodge’s sleek all-aluminum hurricane inline-six engines because some say that even Ford Mustang won’t stand a chance.
Dodge revealed the next-generation models of its muscle vehicles, the Charger (LF) and Challenger (LB). While some have expressed dissatisfaction with the car manufacturer’s choice to prioritize e-motor-powered muscle cars over V8-powered ones, others can’t wait to meet the new babies!
Check out below for more details about Dodge’s plans with its next muscle cars.
Dodge’s Future is Hurricane-powered
Dodge has recently revealed its next-gen models of muscle cars, the Charger and Challenger. By highlighting characteristics like a unique exhaust system and multi-speed transmission, the company has attempted to soften the blow and make its new e-muscle automobiles seem more like the internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles they are ultimately replacing. Quite impressive, isn’t it?!
In preparation for the MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge competition in 2023, Dodge has also announced that it will be showcasing its new Dodge Direct Connection HurriCrate series of engines.
But there’s more.
Given the fact that the HEMI fans aren’t yet making the switch to EVs, it appears to have caused more confusion than good. So, where do the next-gen Dodge muscle cars stand now?
Although Dodge has not yet made an official announcement, some sources have long suggested that the next-generation Challenger and Charger will continue to offer ICE options with the automaker’s new lineup of twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engines. That means Dodge may not be packing its HEMI V8 lineup in 2024. How’s this going to be digested by some, well, it shouldn’t be Dodge’s problem at all.
After all, the fantastic 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque provided by the high-output model and the impressive 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque provided by the all-aluminum twin-turbo Hurricane engines in the standard output should matter 100 %.
