They are stuck in the ICE engines.
On one hand they have the SO and HO Hurricanes which are more powerful and efficient than the HEMI 5.7 and 6.4 respectively, and they have invested a lot of money on them to kill it without achieving its ROI.
On the other hand, they are people who want a V8 for...
And why does one think the Range Extension technology is superior than series or parallel hybrid technologies??
Why would an ICE engine be their only to charge the battery when it can be used, with the proper hybrid technology, to do both, recharge the battery and still drive on ICE engine?
I’d be interested to see a production street legal 650hp Hurricane.
Turbos have their limits on size before you run into a lag unless it’s electrical assisted like what Porsche and AMG are doing.
The Hurricane powered Chargers won’t be any faster. They might be quicker of the line, considering the AWD but not faster on a roll.
Guaranteed they have “more power and torque “, but they considerably have more weight.
That’s comparing SO to Eagle, HO to Apache and the new Charger to the old one.
I won’t lie, I’m interested in a next generation, smaller, lighter Challenger with a next generation V8 (hopefully a HEMI), If it’s looking inspired by a 66 Barracuda as was rumored few years ago.
The 392 Apache exhaust manifold is straight bolt on, and can be easily done.
I agree on the MDS, especially the current design.
The 5.7 engine didn’t change much. So moving from 0w20 back to 5w30 should not affect anything including the MDS components.
Other non-CARB states will. As someone mentioned, if %50 of the population are living in the CARB states, we have the other %50 outside of these states.
Then we have Canada, which isn’t as strict.
And it will show which option, EV, Hurricane or HEMI, will be the volume seller and which will be the niche option.
Then we can have an argument which one is a sound investment to continue and which one to drop.
With cars getting more and more expensive, there’s apparently a market for sub-30k sports car.
But it all depends whether a manufacturer has the luxury to spend the money in this niche segment like Toyota or rather spend the money on the bread and butter segments.
Every single automaker is streamlining its sports cars offering, because the ROI doesn’t justify multiple sports cars.
They have to be distinctive i.e. a 2-seater and 2+2 .
Well, that would be interesting to have 2 2-door cars, Charger 2-door SixPack with Hurricane 6TT and the assumed Barracuda/Cuda with a V8.
But I don’t see it happening considering they potentially could be sized similarly or closed and offer similarly or closed performance.
I think it’s either...
The whole Punch and Puretech production should be replaced.
For some reason, I feel these 2 are more about cost cutting and being cheap than actually delivering good products to the consumers
You are again thinking one technology is to rule them all.
With a proper MHEV, Ram and Dodge can benefit from the added performance.
Plug-In and Extended Range Hybrids can be added to the economy and family oriented vehicles.
