There Won't be a Ram 1500 Hellcat, Yet - Insider Car News
Ram hasn’t had a true performance truck since the Dodge Ram SRT-10 was offered from 2004 through 2006. This high-performance pickup truck featured an 8. 3-liter V-10 that it borrowed from the Dodge Viper. This engine injected 500 horsepower into the Ram 1500?s utilitarian body, plus Dodge fitted it with massive wheels, sticky rubber and a lowered stance. The Ram SRT-10 was not a great seller, and only lasted a few years before getting the axe, but it still has a loyal following. Since the SRT-10?s elimination, the closest thing to a sport truck Ram has offered has been the Ram 1500 Sport. One of particular interest has been the Ram 1500, and Car and Driver recently spoke with new Ram CEO, Bob Hegbloom, and asked him if we’ll see the blown V-8 in the Ram 1500. This question was met with “at this time, I would say no. ” That may be... This all points toward the Ram possibly getting the V-8 once all of the more profitable and lower risk versions of the Ram have been completed. Source: www.insidercarnews.com
