Can't wait to get behind the wheel.

This is interesting.
The HO GME-6 with 450hp in a non-performance model. A good replacement for the 5.7HEMI and even the BGE 6.4l.

Either SRT 6.4 is getting a good update to increase the HP difference or an even crazier GME-6 is joining the party.

I expect the PHEV model to follow a similar formula to the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring.

We've heard about GME T6 variants with up to 525 horsepower, so 5.7 and 6.4 will soon become irrelevant.

Not a big fan of losing the NA V8, but can’t complain about the GME-6 horsepower

One week to go! Wagoneer will be revealed next Thursday, March 11.

I say call the "built GME-6" a Tomcat and give it a pair of turbos. *Cue "Danger Zone."*

I'm guessing the new six will have a forced induction setup similar to the setup on the four cylinder, mild hybrid, Maserati. It might not be standard because e-chargers are expensive, but I could imagine such a system for a Jeep hybrid.

It won't lose the HEMI. HEMI Stays!

I believe it is called "Tornado" after the Panvia Tornado and paying homage to the original Tornado inline-6. The GME-T4 was actually codenamed Hurricane so it goes hand in hand.

I was talking about a specifically built notional GME-T6 with beefed up internals and more FI, all over the basic 'nado, to go into 700 HP land like the Hellcat. Apropos of that, both aircraft have VG wings. Anyway, beats "Aardvark." (F111)

Ford did some amazing things in Australia with their inline-6 "Barra" engine... so it's a possibility.

Bob said the team from viper’s program is responsible of the GME-6T.
So at least I would expect a block and internals which loves boost.

Some of the team...

There is a lot to be excited about the new GME-T6. Inline-6 engines are super smooth.

Should check out YouTuber Adam LZ's Barra Swapped GT350...

Sounds like a miniature diesel Pro Stock pulling tractor, with the benefit of no smoke.

OTOH, Adam LZ's GT350 sounds a bit less "diesely," probably because he wasn't loading up the turbo for a hard launch. Once it gets up in the revs, you'd never think it was anything but a gas engine.
