isn't leaving the road without some squeals, thunder and crazy-fast speed.
Stellantis will stop making gas versions of the Dodge Challenger and Charger and the Chrylser 300 big sedan by the end of this year, squeezed out by stricter government fuel-economy regulations and an accelerating shift to electric vehicles to fight climate change. “It's the end of an era, for sure,” he said Monday. “Electric products, they're very fast. Muscle cars, one of the primary ingredients is to be a fast accelerating car. So I've automatically got the power. Now I've just got to figure out ways to bring all the other elements in of the excitement of the driving experience.”
According to Stellantis, the car will be the first production vehicle to run a quarter-mile in under nine seconds — 8.91 to be exact. To do that, it hits a speed of just over 151 mph . Horsepower and speed depends on how much ethanol is in the fuel. “After all these years, we owed it as much to them as to ourselves to celebrate this end, and give them something that produces a lot of pride in the brand that they love," he said.
