Dodge prepares the return of the Hellcat V8 on the Charger

Stellantis is reportedly working on bringing the Hellcat V8 back to the Dodge Charger, a move that would restore one of the most recognizable engines of the American muscle-car era. The plan would involve a very radical version of the new generation, aimed at drivers who want uncompromising performance.

The idea comes after clear interest from buyers in the most powerful Charger versions. For the U.S. market, it would send a strong message; in Europe, the car remains far removed in size and philosophy, but it shows how much demand still exists for characterful combustion engines.
