Here comes the end of v8 trucks

2024 Dodge Challenger’s new engine revealed • Stellpower for MOPAR NEWS

An unofficial but reliable source told us which car might be the first to get the new straight-six engine—and it won’t shock you if you’re read the headline. The first car to get the 3-liter in-line six-cylinder dubbed GME T6 is likely to be the next-generation Dodge Challenger, as well as any...

Oh well, I don't have a V8 anyway and no plans to get one. Happy with my current inline 6 cylinder Cummins.

Other than losing that great V8 rumble, I bet that turbo straight 6 is gonna be awesome. Probably be more powerful & fuel efficient, and will also probably tow like a boss since the turbo will let it make torque much lower it won't have to downshift and scream to make power.

I guess we will be happy with our 21 Durango R/T Hemi then

Inline six engines are seeing a resurgence. Perfectly balanced, very versatile. Mercedes has been producing a new I6 for a few years now, over 400hp and about 380 lb-ft torque in a 3.0 liter configuration. Everything is going forced induction, only a few manufacturers are making large displacement V engines that are naturally aspirated.

On the bonkers end of the spectrum, Ferrari is getting 830 hp out of a NA 6.5 liter V-12 that redlines at 9,500 RPM. Imagine the forces on that much mass spinning at 158 times a second.

The Ferrari sounds like a blast to drive and a nightmare to maintain.

BMW uses a twin turbo I6 in their M series cars.
Just saying

I'd rather have the 5-cyl from audi

Hopefully, if things are going this direction, they can manufacture them with some level of simplicity. One of the main reasons I got the Hemi over the diesel was the lack of a bunch of problematic emissions crap and the fact that its still simple. Spark plugs, port fuel injection and cam in block. Of course it has MDS and some variable cam timing but nothing that’s terribly crazy.

The newer, small displacement forced induction stuff coming out everywhere seems way too complicated. Ever look under the hood of a twin spin F150? Serious nightmare.

My previous truck was an F150 with the twin turbo 2.7. For the displacement, that thing could scoot! Good torque/HP numbers.

Imagine something like a 4L 6 cylinder with forced induction, should be able to make some nice power. Although I really like the V8 rumble.

putting aside specific performance differences, the Audi 5 cylinder needs a counterbalance shaft. There is parasitic power loss as a result of the additional rotating mass, and the engines do not rev as quickly. I much prefer Audi for a lot of reasons but to give credit where credit due, the BMW I6 will go down as one of the greatest engines ever produced.

Making HP is no longer a barrier for engine designers. Mercedes is achieving 748 hp from a 1.6 liter 90-degree V-6 in a production car, with a warranty. Computers, precision fuel injection, and forced induction have revolutionized engine design. The days of just putting in a lumpy cam with a new carb and headers in a small block chevy to get 400 hp is long gone.

Emissions laws across the globe have permanently changed ICE design. Large displacement inefficient engines are at the end of the road. I used to get sad by this but now see it as a renaissance. Hybrid drivetrains as well. Pairing up electric drivetrains with ICE creates some special sauce. And to those that say “too complicated…” this has been the case for 20 years.

hey anything will sound better than the 6.4 hemi wheezing and ticking and chirping...bring it on....

yeah, totally agree! I've owned three Dodge/RAM Cummins inline 6's and one Chev Trailblazer with the 4.2L engine. The 4.2L gasser is is shared with the GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier and Oldsmobile Bravada. Just look around and you'll see a zillion of them still running. I personally have exceeded 250k on that gasser and over 400k on my previous two Cummins. None of those three engines needed a major overhaul when I sold them. I love V8's but I'll take an inline 6 over them any day.

I would pick a gas turbo l6 10x out of 10 vs a n/a Hemi v8 if given the choice.
