In March 2022, Stellantis offered a twin-turbo, inline-six dubbed “Typhoon” as a long run alternative for the venerable HEMI V8. The three.0-liter engine used to be introduced in a Same old Output (SO) model with over 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque along a Top Output (HO) turning in greater than 500 hp and 475 lb-ft. Because it seems, an much more potent configuration is these days within the works.

All over a convention held this week in Detroit about the way it intends to additional electrify its lineup, Stellantis additionally discussed investments are nonetheless being made in inner combustion engines. Michael Bly, Senior Vice President, Head of World Propulsion Programs, mentioned the brand new Typhoon engine is certain to get a beefier iteration: “We’ve extra energy. We simply have not launched it but.”

A last quantity for the HO variant of the engine has but to be printed however Car Information has it on excellent authority it is 520 hp, so this 3rd model of the engine will pack an excellent better punch. Equipped the ICE muscle automobile generation is not about to be sunsetted through Stellantis and the brand new Charger will certainly have a fuel engine, lets simply believe the top-tier Typhoon below the hood.

Typhoon would possibly not be to be had strictly with six cylinders as Bly additionally disclosed there are plans for a downsized configuration as a four-pot with a 2.0-liter displacement. As well as, an excellent smaller, unrelated three-cylinder unit derived from an current engine to be had in Europe is deliberate. Stellantis sells a lot of merchandise at the Outdated Continent with a turbocharged 1.2-liter PureTech that is going within vehicles as small because the Peugeot 208 supermini and as massive because the 508 midsize sedan/wagon.

Whilst some could be tempted to mention Typhoon may also substitute the Pentastar V6, that’s now not going to be the case. Bly defined Stellantis will proceed to take a position on this engine because it’s a “superb, lower-cost, rock-solid, high quality stalwart of our assortment.” He went on to say the V6 goes to be electrified within the close to long run. That should not come as a large marvel bearing in mind that during mid-2022, the conglomerate introduced a $24.7-million funding into the Trenton, Michigan meeting plant that places in combination those 3.6-liter V6s.
