Motor Trend reported that the automaker is developing a new large vehicle platform that can accommodate a V8 engine alongside the all-electric chassis that will be revealed soon with a concept for the brand's first electric muscle car, which is set to go on sale for the 2024 model year under an as-yet unspecified name.
According to Motor Trend, an evolution of the current platform used for the Dodge Charger and Challenger is in development to replace those models, and possibly the Chrysler 300, with inline-6-cylinder and V8 powertrains.
