The Hellcat Is Officially Dead

You will never believe what will replace it.

Hey everyone, it's your boy Koenigsegg WONDERMOUNTAINS. Today, I am going to talk about what is happening between the Hellcat motor and its daddy corporation Chrysler, also known as "Stellantis" in this politically correct world.

To start off, the CEO of the Dodge brand (no, mind you, it's not Ralph Gilles -- it's this guy right here, Timothy Kuniskis) said that the eMotor will replace all Hellcats and the eMotor is not even gonna go into the V8s. It's gonna go into the Pentastar V6s.

The funny thing- the funny prediction is that while the Hellcat ends production... even before the Hellcat ends production, you're gonna see a lot of 3.6-liter Pentastar owners boring and stroking their displacements to like 4.5 or even 5.0 liters out of their whole V6s, adding a turbocharger or two, and getting 9-second quarter-mile slips. Yeah! That's exactly what Dodge is doing. Dodge is not going to be using Alfa Romeo or Ferrari or Maserati motors... They're gonna use their own motors. They're gonna stick to their own!

Offset, the former owner of a 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, which was later wrecked... He has, um, express DISGUST at the Hellcat production ending in 2023. One of the main reasons that Chrysler is ending production of the Hellcat motor has to do with the stringent emission standards. Hellcats have never officially been sold in Europe or Australia, and in order to comply with the standards there, there will be no more big-displacement supercharged V8s. In Europe, you have the turbocharged V8s, and V6s and straight-sixes dominating the world. You got M3s, M5s, C63s (which is now a four-pot), and E63s dominating the world.

As much of a Hellcat fan that I am, I would love to see a new Challenger and Charger because... these same old MoPars, fanboy or not, we all know, these ride on the same platform as the W211 Mercedes E-Class. No, WORSE! They are an evolution of the LH platform... renamed "LX, LD, LA," it's an Intrepid, okay? With some Mercedes-Benz added to it.

I'm looking forward towards 2023-and-'4.
