Maybe I forgot to mention that the entire line of Dodge Chargers is 
meant to look retro?

Apparently, the straight-six layout has actually experienced a modern 
resurgence because its inherently balanced design easily accommodates 
turbochargers and hybrid systems while replacing bulkier V8 and V6 power 
plants.

Stellantis manufactures the twin-turbo Hurricane 3.0-liter inline-6, 
which powers vehicles like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Ram 1500.
