What is SRT working on...?

I'm guessing if it's a pretty big deal it wont involve any of the current models. Could be a new model for a current vehicle, but i'm guessing it will be all new. Viper replacement seems like a strong candidate.
Any hints in regards to which direction to look on the interwebs? It's a pretty big place. Here and Allpar are where I go, and most of the inside information has dried up over there.
I do recall seeing a name from another forum being referred to from time to time when the 426 rumor was catching on.

SRT has something brewing in their kettle. I’d like to start a thread that pools what we know, so we can prognosticate and get all worked up, and mebbe we shake a few clues loose.

Ok, there is the all but here Charger WideButt. That isn’t what I am thinking of. There are a couple really cool Challies brewing, too. Those aren’t it either.

I am thinking of a knitter project that I kinda got a wink and a nod on, but I don’t know what it is.

Anyone have any clues? PM if that is more appropriate. We could pool our knowledge.

Is the Deserthawk a SRT vehicle? I remember Mike Manley talking about that at 2018 NYIAS.

The Deserthawk was bases on the Cherokee I think.. did they have a Grand Cherokee version planned also?
I'm all for high performance in the Jeep/Ram line.

One thing for sure the Hellephant is being announced for sale 4/26!

To answer this question (which I'm incredibly late on, sorry), we have to ask ourselves this: Are SRT working on the RAM TRX?

Since their inception, they've only done street-based vehicles. SRT-4 Neon and Caliber, all the Vipers, Jeep GC SRT, RAM 1500 SRT-10, Crossfire SRT-6, the LX SRT cars, etc. Giving that track record (pun intended), it's difficult to know whether or not the SRT guys would attempt to do something more "Pre-Runner" style (the TRX). And I mean beyond just powertrain. Are they also working on suspension? Off-road handling? If they are working on those things, then they might have the skills to do the Deserthawk. If they aren't doing suspension/off-road handling for the TRX, then they probably aren't doing the Deserthawk.

Or... they're learning from whoever is doing the TRX and will try their hand at the Deserthawk. Anything is possible.
 
This weekend is two weekends before 5/29, which was the time displayed in the Respect the Beast commercial....the one that ends with "respect the beast, but don't wake the monster" and a stomping sound, which sounded eerily similar to the stomping sound in the 426 hellephant teaser videos...
Edit: I forgot completely about the 5:29 clock display until someone mentioned it over on hellcat.org
