Dodge Hellcat V8s to die in 2023 due to government fines
Fox News
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has confirmed that the Hellcat V8 will be discontinued after the 2023 model year. An all-electric Dodge Muscle car is set to be revealed in 2022.
"I will have this car, this platform, this powertrain as we know it through the end of '23. There's two more years to buy a Hellcat, then it's history," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis told Motor Authority.
The monster motor debuted in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with 707 hp and has since been offered in versions with up to 808 hp running on street gasoline.
Dodge has already discontinued the limited edition Durango SRT Hellcat SUV due to increasingly strict federal emissions rules and Kuniskis cited the regulations as a reason the engine would be retired.
