Dodge is making headlines again, but this time it is all about power. With Stellantis pumping over 10 billion dollars into American operations, reports suggest the iconic V8 muscle car is about to roar back into life. This marks a bold step back into raw performance, especially for fans in the UAE who still crave the thunder of traditional engines. Here is everything we know about Dodge’s next muscle car era.
Stellantis is doubling its US investment plan to 10 billion dollars and insiders confirm that this move will benefit brands like Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler globally. For UAE fans, this signals the potential return of V8 power to local showrooms. With Dodge's focus back on internal combustion engines, including turbocharged inline-six and classic V8s, UAE buyers may soon see new-generation muscle cars arriving with engine options designed for enthusiasts, not just efficiency.
Expect reopened production lines, expanded development of V8 powertrains, and a new generation of Hellcat-style vehicles that stay true to Dodge’s aggressive DNA. This new lineup could include 5.7 liter and 6.4 liter naturally aspirated engines, with a high possibility of a 6.2 liter supercharged model in the mix.
Dodge fans in the UAE remember the final roar of the 2023 Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye and Challenger Hellcat Final Edition. Those were the last models of the supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI era before Dodge pressed pause on V8 production. Now, signs point to a comeback, starting with the new Charger platform that has already been engineered to support a V8 engine.
The upcoming models may not carry the same names, but the soul remains. Whether it comes as a sleek coupe or a four door sedan, the next V8 Dodge could bring back the unmatched presence and performance that made it an icon on UAE highways.
