We have known for a while that Stellantis is putting the Hemi V8-powered models in the lineup to rest. Now, the retirement is more than official – the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup doesn't have it, and Chrysler just produced its final 300C sedan.
The 2025 Ram 1500 range now consists of the base V6 model with eTorque mild hybrid followed by two instances of Hurricane inline-six turbo prowess, the S/O with 420 hp and H/O rocking 540 ponies, the upcoming RHO off-road-focused trim, and the sustainable Ramcharger plus 1500 REV. Meanwhile, the Chrysler 300C is also heading into retirement as there's no longer a need for its V8 services.

The same fate awaits the 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger because the seven 'Last Call' special editions won't be produced forever. Instead, the Challenger may be retired altogether, and the Charger might be the last one standing – with just about the same looks as the Daytona SRT concept. As for powertrains, everyone knows the two-door muscle car will join the EV lifestyle, but the rumor mill also hopes that Stellantis will allow the Charger to have ICE power under the hood, too.

Only this time, it will be of the Hurricane SST variety, possibly with a trio of options – 420 hp, 510 hp like on Jeeps, and 540 hp like we have seen on the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup. That would certainly give it an argument or two against the Ford Mustang GT and Dark Horse, right? Of course, even though – or perhaps precisely because of that – the imaginative realm of digital car content creators also wants to contribute to the upcoming chapter in Charger's history.

For example, the good folks over at the Car Review Channel on YouTube have also prepared their unofficial vision about the future of the Dodge Charger thanks to their resident pixel master - and it's a bit funny, frankly. Due to an unfortunate (or lucky) typo, they rechristened the well-known nameplate to the '2025 Dodge Changer.' Hilariously, this perfectly sums it all up for what is going on not only with the Dodge Charger in particular but also with American muscle cars in general.

Even better, the channel's CGI artist has an exotic version of the styling for the upcoming Dodge Charger generation – it blends the retro flavor of the Daytona SRT concept with the current Charger's design and also adds some futuristic characteristics. Interestingly, one might notice that there are three variants presented here – one with two doors, one with four, and another sporting a two-tone appearance and exhaust tips instead of being a fully electric vehicle.

So, do you think that Dodge will innovate with an extreme Charger design, or are they going to stick to the looks of the Daytona SRT concept to the EV and Hurricane letter?
