Heritage is the name of the game in 2025 as Stellantis works to right the ship and win back American buyers. A management shake-up brought Tim Kuniskis back as CEO of Ram Trucks, and he in turn brought the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 back to 1500 pickup trucks after a one-year absence.
As a result, truck sales rose V-8 models fly out of the lot. With talks growing about bringing the Hemi V-8 back to the new supercharger, it’s only natural for Stellantis to keep the pedal to the metal while the company has momentum.
That’s why the automaker is preparing to showcase a slew of custom vehicles alongside its performance brand, Mopar. As of this writing, we only have a snippet of two cars, but more performance concepts are expected.
The first preview released in early October focuses on part of a Dodge Charger Painted in a fresh color of purple mist. The color appears to be used on the Charger Scat Pack Sixpack, which is the gas-powered model, not the electric vehicle. Other details reveal a puffy black lid that provides a sharp contrast to the illuminated badge, and the edges are decidedly lacking.

The second preview is the 2026 Ram 1500 wearing a cool paint called Sublime Green (it won’t Sub-lime work better?). We know it will have a V-8 engine because it wears the brand’s logoProtest symbol“Badge on the front bumper. This front fender also appears to be dangerously close to the frame, indicating that it has been lowered.
Could this be the 1,500th Street truck we’ve been begging for? It’s hard to say. Stellantis has been sneaky in these teasers, with no other details revealed other than its collaboration with Mopar.
We’ll know more when the show opens its doors in Las Vegas. You can see these two models and many more at the SEMA event at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 4-8.
