Hemi’s Back, Baby: Dodge’s V8 Muscle Car Could Arrive Before 2027
If you’d told me two years ago that by 2026 I’d be writing about a brand-new Hemi muscle car from Dodge, I’d have laughed you out of my garage while sobbing quietly into a can of Mopar-branded touch-up paint. The past few years have been a rollercoaster for Mopar faithful—electrification shoved down everyone’s throat, the Hemi mothballed, SRT reduced to a badge on overpriced SUVs, and a Charger that launched with electric motors as the headlining act. I nearly sold my Hellcat keychain on eBay. But oh, how the tables have turned.
Let’s rewind the tape. After the departure of former CEO Carlos Tavares—whose EV-or-bust strategy felt like watching a bull in a china shop—new Stellantis bigwig Antonio Filosa grabbed the wheel and cranked it hard toward sanity. In short order, the Hemi returned to Ram trucks, the SRT Performance Division was resurrected, and Ram even gave us a factory-lowered street truck tuned by Fox Factory, because apparently someone in Auburn Hills still knows how to have fun. Now, rumors are swirling that Stellantis is considering a $10 billion investment in its US operations, with a laser focus on restoring Dodge and Jeep to their former glory. You know what that means: a V8-powered muscle car is no longer a fever dream. It’s practically inevitable, and I’ve already started making engine noises in my sleep.
