Mopar Insiders saying they are working on it.

Dodge//SRT Is Working On A Last Hurrah For Its Supercharged HEMI Program!

Dodge//SRT turned the high-performance car world on end in 2014, with the launch of the 707 horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The launch started an amazing trend of supercar performance muscle cars at a price that the average person could afford. In 2017, the American performance...

According to our sources, Dodge//SRT will be launching another high-performance limited-edition model before the current generation comes to an end. But what makes this new car special is that instead of running on 100+ octane race fuel, it will be able to run on ethanol (E85) instead.

Those sources have indicated that the car should be a limited production (like that of the SRT Demon) and capable of producing stronger numbers than the SRT Demon. How much horsepower we do not know, but Mopar’s Direct Connection Stage 3 Kit for the Hellcat Redeye puts out 885 horsepower with 100+ octane, Hellephant pulley, and tuning. Although not confirmed we expect horsepower to be upwards of 850+ for the E85 tuned Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody.

The sources also stated to us that the car will be part of the brand’s “Never Lift” campaign, Dodge’s 24-month road map to the brand’s performance future.

We hope to be learning more about the car in the upcoming weeks. So stay tuned.

So this is where the stage kits are headed

Hmmmmmm

This window?

Interesting.

If the Demon owners are planning to flip them, they better get after it. While prices may not completely tank, their values will drop if this is true. The OEM aftermarket Stage kits are one thing but if the car leaves Brampton running E85 and 850+ (particularly if they do something cool like the $1 options and crate), the Demon may very well no longer be the most sought after modern Mopar.

How many of you have installed the stage kits at this point?

 

[baabootoo]

Good scoop, BUT..........."Limited Edition" means a LOT of extra cheddar!

 

[njsteve]

How may of you have installed the stage kits at this point?

Where is that "crickets chirping" emoji when you need it???

I called a Power Broker and left a voicemail a week ago, no call back. I don't take that as a good sign.

Never happen

Ready, fire, aim. A slick marketing video and then a huge belly flop on the details. Stellantis is in business to make money. Throwing a lot of money at an obsolete platform doesn't make sense on the surface but I did not do the math. If it creates a nice revenue stream that will continue for multiple years then I see it. If it's just for a limited number of hard core enthusiasts then how do you justify all the training, roll out, and continued support. Hope it happens but it seems to be a nothing burger to this point.

Like I suspected the Fratzog will be the signifier for electric vehicles. Link to another article with an interview with TK.

"Kuniskis also explained in recent interviews, that the all-new electrified models coming to the Dodge lineup will feature the classic “Fratzog” logo to help differentiate them from the standard internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Those ICE models will continue to carry the current Dodge “rhombi” logo on their flanks."

These are pretty easy mods with OEM parts so it's a minimal investment thanks to parts bin engineering.

The car doesn't need more power, it needs less weight. How Dodge solves for that will be interesting.

 

[HellcatHellYeah]

The electric cars are pretty heavy with the batteries, one good thing is they can be designed to distribute the weight. Don't see them getting the weight down though, not with 3 or 4 motors. I'm interested in the new straight 6 being a hybrid, would consider one of those for a daily and keep the cat for weekends.

They will figure out how to get a mid to low 9 second pass and push that.
Probably another Demon hero run but here are 4 years later and the Demon legend lives on

Agree they need to be lighter but the assembly line doesn't work that simply. Just because an item is a stock item, thus cheaper and probably available for the manufacturer doesn't mean they can just add it to the line and slap it in somewhere. Something as simple as an exhaust change, or a new shock offering can be a real PIA to integrate. Now add a new power train system and all that goes with it, and it's a huge deal, it can take weeks or months to get the flow right before it's added in and offered.

Makes sense!!!

 

[Unholy707]

Can’t wait to steal the flex fuel/e85 cal tables from it

 

[FreddyG]

Maybe call it :The Beverly Hillbilly Moonshine Edition! It's run on Granny's "Special Brew!"

Because they don’t know they are a Power Broker.
