Earlier this year, Stellants made major changes to its North American operations. Tim Concise, who returned to the top spot at Ram in 2025, became head of the automaker’s American brands and announced the return of the SRT division. And according to the automaker’s earnings presentation, we’ll see the results of that recovery very soon.
On page 19 of Stellants’ Q3 shipments and revenue report, it says that Ram will introduce two SRT products in the next three months. During the call, Stellants CEO Antonio Fellosa said:
‘Finally, Ram will show more of its trademark passion in the coming months with two new SRT performance products, each with a very clear value proposition.’
Those two new SRT products will be part of a larger product offensive that will begin with the 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, which goes on sale later this year. According to Flosa, “This will be the first of many SRT products that we will launch in the coming years.” The presentation, page 13, notes that Stellants will launch “multiple SRT products” by 2030.
Stellants is shifting its focus back to combustion engine production because of interest in electric vehicles. The automaker introduced the Hurricane 4 Turbo earlier this week in the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It’s powered by a 324-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
And a few months ago, Ram announced that the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 would return as an option for the 2026 1500. Kinesis admitted the brand made a mistake, and now the automaker expects the engine to account for more than 25 percent of sales.
With two new SRT products on the way, the V-8 is likely to play an important role.
In April, Kunisakis announced that the brand would make 25 production announcements by the end of 2026, and the Hemi’s return was the first of them. There have been hints that Ram will at some point resurrect the TRX, which used the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 engine.
It doesn’t happen that Stellants is designing all-new V-8 engines and is instead updating its lineup to work with the automaker’s new STLA architecture. Concise tasked former SRT chief engineer Darrell Smith with the same task last year to bring the Hemi back to RAM.
With the SRT division now behind and working on new products, we’ll see what’s coming next, but it looks like Stellants is trying to right its wrongs.
