Stellantis Revives SRT Division: The Return of Street and Racing Technology
In an electrifying move that has performance enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, Stellantis has officially announced the revival of its iconic SRT (Street and Racing Technology) division. Known for pushing the limits of performance engineering, SRT is set to unify high-performance efforts across Stellantis’s American brands, including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.
SRT’s Return: A New Era of Performance
For decades, SRT has been synonymous with raw power, extreme engineering, and bold design. From the creation of iconic models like the Dodge Viper to the almighty Challenger SRT Hellcat, the division has left an indelible mark on the American automotive landscape. Now, under the leadership of Tim Kuniskis, SRT is set to revitalize its legacy, bringing performance enthusiasts even more electrifying vehicles. His return signals a major focus on performance across Stellantis’s portfolio, particularly with a growing emphasis on combustion and electrified powertrains. The revival of SRT promises to unite the engineering forces of Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Chrysler to create high-performance vehicles that will push the boundaries of what’s possible on the road and track.
The Vision for SRT: Performance Across All Brands
One of the biggest changes with the SRT revival is its expanded role across Stellantis’s American brands. Under the leadership of Kuniskis, SRT will now oversee all performance product development for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. This means that high-performance vehicles will no longer be limited to just Dodge or Chrysler—expect to see electrifying performance variants across the entire lineup.
From off-road performance in Jeep and Ram trucks to dragstrip-ready Dodge muscle cars, the possibilities are endless. Kuniskis’s focus will also include expanding Direct Connection, Dodge’s performance parts and tuning division, and overseeing the brand’s involvement in motorsports, including NHRA drag racing and Ram’s return to NASCAR in 2026.
What’s Next for SRT? The Future of Performance Vehicles
The revival of SRT isn’t just a return to the past—it’s a bold step into the future. Kuniskis has hinted at the possibility of new high-performance models that could rival or even surpass the Hellcat era in terms of scale and power. While no specific vehicles have been announced yet, the focus will be on cutting-edge powertrains, aerodynamics, and handling technologies that elevate the driving experience.
One key factor to keep an eye on is the integration of electrification into SRT’s performance vehicles. As the automotive world shifts toward more sustainable options, expect SRT to blend traditional muscle car power with the growing demand for electric performance. This could mean powerful new hybrid or electric vehicles that still carry the same rebellious spirit of SRT.
Why SRT’s Return Matters for Performance Car Enthusiasts
For performance car enthusiasts, the return of SRT is more than just a corporate decision—it’s a triumph of passion. Stellantis’s commitment to reestablishing SRT signals a future where muscle cars, trucks, and SUVs continue to thrive with insane horsepower, iconic styling, and cutting-edge technology. With Kuniskis at the helm, fans of American muscle can look forward to more bold, unapologetically high-performance machines that stay true to the spirit of SRT.
