Dodge is reportedly planning to bring back a supercharged Hellcat V8 engine in the Charger, with production starting in late 2027, according to a planning document seen by Automotive News. The model would use a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 from the previous-generation Charger and Challenger, producing 527kW of power and 881Nm of torque in standard trim.
Dodge is reportedly targeting production of around 12,000 Charger Hellcats annually. This would roughly double Charger sales, which stood at just 5,165 units in 2025, mostly electric Daytona variants. With petrol-powered Sixpack models added to the range, sales rose to 8,029 in the first nine months of 2026.
When approached for comment, Stellantis told Automotive News the details were 'purely speculation/rumour' and declined to comment on future product strategy. The publisher did not disclose when the new Hellcat muscle car would go on sale or when it would arrive in showrooms.
