Ram revives its muscle-truck era with the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee lineup—Rumble Bee (5.7L, 395 hp), Rumble Bee 392 (6.4L, 470 hp), and Rumble Bee SRT (777 hp)—each with a shortened wheelbase for nimble handling, standard AWD with optional RWD, and performance-tuned upgrades; the 392 Track Pack adds airbags and semi-active dampers with ~0.89 g skid-pad grip, while the SRT uses a bespoke aero kit, larger brakes, and aims for ~170 mph top speed with a 3.4 s 0–60; availability starts with late Oct for the 5.7L model, and pricing details are not yet disclosed but the SRT is expected to sit below the TRX and could reach six figures.
A modified Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, driven by 20-year-old Miles Hudson, has been causing sleepless nights for Seattle residents with its loud engine and backfires. Despite numerous complaints and legal actions from city leaders and police, Hudson continues to drive through downtown, gaining a large following on social media for his antics.
A group of enthusiasts at SXSBlog have created a side-by-side vehicle with an 800-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine from a Dodge Demon. The engine is crammed into the rear seats, with a Powerglide gearbox and an S550 Mustang rear subframe. Custom fabrication was necessary to make the swap possible, including a custom gear linkage and 3D-printed gates for the shifter. The machine is designed for burnouts and is estimated to reach rear wheel speeds of 170 mph. While the build is still in progress, it is already being hailed as one of the craziest creations on four wheels.
