19 Challenger Hellcat Redeye 19 Charger Hellcat

The Hellcat Motor for me personally has been a ICE Age gift from the Engine Gods. I mean I can still remember the Summer of 2014 and seeing the reveal for the Hellcat thinking holly crap 707HP factory made and ready😍. I knew as soon as I saw the Challenger Hellcat I had to have one or maybe two😁. And wow we are now eclipsing seven years this coming summer from the reveal. The engine has created more than anyone expected from the beginnings since a Demon motor came to be as well. And then the Charger was announced which all here know she was the fastest of them all being 4 doors made her an aerodynamic machine. Then came the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk which is the baddest ass suv bang for buck in the market. The Ram TRX is now here and the Durango Hellcat which is replacing the Trackhawk. The title of the thread is about the future of the now legendary Hellcat motor. Do we have another 2-3 model years left of the Hellcat motor or maybe more? What’s the next vehicle they would stuff the Hellcat motor in? The Peugeot merger with FCA will possibly change the longevity of the Hellcat Motor since the CEO lad for Peugeot will be running the companies. And his goal of the merger is to be an electric car company which needs incredible R&D monies to progress with the Green Agenda mandates of the world. General Motors has already stated the ICE age days are going away and its future is all electric. The continued progression for alternative energy for transportation will be the focal point by major board members and shareholders. Which in turn puts pressure on development and marketing to adapt and move on from old technology. The Governments of the world are continuing to push for the extinction of ICE which in turn forces the manufactures to change. IMO I feel the 10 year run for the Hellcat motor is solid being we have another 3 model years thru 2025. The other models to have the Hellcat Motor could.be possibly in the new redesign Grand Cherokee, Ram Dakota, Ram Trucks snd that would be it and a big if at that. The Hellcat Motor will go down in the Ice Age books as the last great Dinosaur only to be seen by the true ICE Age lovers as the last gas engine that made you smile.

'19 WB Redeye, Sublime
#2
Time flies! I also remember the announcement of the 707 Hellcat. FCA was behind the curve at that point and I was running a 2014 GT500 because my brand, Dodge, had nothing to compete against it stock. When it came, I came...running!

Those were crazy times. It was tough getting a '15 but I did and below MSRP! Phantom Black, loaded except no satin hood. Then did great on a deal in December '16 and traded it on a new Granite Crystal, loaded with Satin hood. Massive discount.

Same on the Redeye WB in Sublime last January...Power Dollars plus additional discounts. This one is a keeper and was an early retirement gift to myself.

What's next??? Wrangler Hellcat? The 392 Rubicon is super cool. Why not drop a supercharged engine in as a next monster. Can't think of anything else they'd drop it in.

And...before y'all start kickin' my @$$, the banana is long gone. That is an early pic of the Sublime before I had a chance to pull the splitter guard.

The more Hellcat vehicles the better. That means more money invested to keep the platform rolling, and more available parts down the road.

Seems like the 300 is an obvious choice. Not sure why it hasn’t been done.

The rebirth of the 300 SRT in the states with a hellcat motor.

It needs to happen. FCA is just being a cocktease at this point.

Next stop...hellcat pacifica!

FCA saying the 2021 Durango Hellcat is going to be a 1 year run due to gub'ment regs seems to be a harbinger of the future ....................

That + the crazies about to take office will kill off many of the hi-po ICE offerings. Just wait till they start taxing the crap out of gas (like the euro commies do), I'll bet serious $$ we will be seeing $5/gal+ gas before midterms !

It's been coming for a while. Nothing to do with politics. Every country will have it soon, buckle up.

I heard the Green New Deal says you have to buy carbon credits to take a trip.

Didn’t he drive an Aztec? 😆
That poor Aztec.

How many times did he break the windshield on that thing?
