Is RAM going to be the next brand that uses the Hellcat engine?

Spotted among various Chrysler prototypes is a heavily modified RAM HD, with a cobbled-together front end that could hide the supercharged V8 that makes 707 hp in the Charger and Challenger Hellcat musclecars.

A source says FCA is looking to put the Hellcat motor in everything it fits in, as it’s proved to be a huge boost for sales of the rear-drive cars. It’s already destined for the Grand Cherokee.

Nominate yourself or another exceptional SEMA-member employee for select committee positions on SEMA’s Councils and Networks.

Nominations are being accepted until Monday, March 21, for select committee positions on SEMA’s Councils and Networks.

The elected select committee of each council and network serves as the volunteer leadership for the group. Because these elected volunteers are in tune with their market and have the drive needed to influence change, they are entrusted to direct SEMA resources toward building solutions, benefits and opportunities that help companies succeed and prosper. Currently, there are 10 council and network groups within SEMA. Councils work to identify related business goals, issues and challenges for member companies in a particular market segment, while the professional networks are a platform for individuals within a company who share a common interest or characteristic.

Nominate yourself or another exceptional SEMA-member employee today by using the quick and easy online nomination form. All nominations must be received by 5:00 p.m. (PDT), March 21, 2016. The select committee elections will take place in May.
