Stellantis is making a course correction after Carlos Tavares' departure. Unofficially held accountable for the death of the almighty HEMI, the former CEO is now out of the way, so the V8 should be back in the game.

That is what the RAM 1500 TRX with its HEMI engine has always been since it first rolled off the production line in 2020.
