Dodge's last V8-powered car revealed
The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 will be the last V8-powered car the brand introduces before it launches its first all-electric model next year.
Dodge is discontinuing production of its V8-powered cars this year, and its Italian cousin will soon follow suit.
Maserati has announced the official end of production for its V8 engines in late 2023.
Both brands are part of the Stellantis group.
Maserati is one of several automakers that are planning to have an all-electric lineup by 2030.
