Many overlooked the base model for either the R\/T or the R\/T twin turbo. The R\/T twin turbo was the Stealth to get. When it debuted, it had AWD, 300 hp and real state of the art technology for the time. However, Dodge has had AWD performance cars since the Stealth was killed off. The 2014 Chrysler 300C paired with the 5.7 Hemi was the last AWD sedan\/coupe that had meaningful power and performance numbers.<\/p>\n<p>The return of the performance coupe would not only give Dodge another performance car to fits its brand image but also would create a new market. The new Stealth can still resemble the past. We would like to see an AWD coupe with turbos but what would this look like exactly?<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/file.kelleybluebookimages.com\/kbb\/base\/house\/2014\/2014-Chrysler-300-FrontSide_CR300S141_640x480.jpg\" alt=\"2014 Chrysler 300 Prices, Reviews &amp; Pictures | Kelley Blue Book\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The last V8 AWD sedan from FCA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The rumored HO 3.0 i-6 can be the base model engine though this engine will not arrive for a long time. Instead, a 5.7 Hemi with either a plug-in hybrid option or e-torque can be the base model engine. RWD will be standard with AWD as an option. We would like to see the L car platform reconfigured to support this. Next would be where it gets interesting. A new engine would have to be developed to replace the Hellcat motor that will have a rude awakening in the near future when more and more electric cars get released. We would like to see a downsized hybrid Hemi that has a set of twin turbos. Perhaps an electric turbocharger can power the Stealth. After all, Garret will be producing e-turbos next year. FCA has also mentioned an e booster for their now shelved Alfa Romeo 8C. In essence, we would like to see a ~500 hp base engine and a ~800 hp premium engine. MSRP will be fairly high starting at roughly $75k thanks to the electric powertrain. The HO engine will likely start at around $100k. This particular product does not need groundbreaking features either. Keeping the cost down means not including a ton of rather useless options. This part of the market is also fairly vacant. There are not many AWD vehicles even under $200k that have 500+ horsepower.<\/p>\n<p>This article is pure speculation but Dodge could use another performance vehicle in our opinion. Our recent article showed that GM will bring the pain with their new Corvette and Ford certainly has something up their sleeve as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dodge Stealth was produced from 1991-1996 under the old Chrysler Corporation.
