Mopar

has released a new video teaser hinting at the release of a large and powerful crate

Hemi

engine at

SEMA

later this month in Las Vegas.

The video functions like a lesson on symbolism in an English lit class. It opens with smoke and settles on a pair of backlit, large-clawed paw prints that look to be feline in origin. Then we hear earth-shaking pounding sounds of something larger than the paw prints that stomps over them. Then cue an overhead shot of what looks to be a vintage-model

Dodge Charger

and its growly Hemi engine entering the frame and then gunning the engine.

Mopar already offers three crate Hemi V8 engines, topped by the 6.2-liter supercharged

Hellcat

, good for 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, found in the

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

and marketed for pre-1976 classic muscle cars. So promising that “Something big is coming” is really saying something. Could it be a crate version of the 808-hp Hemi 6.2 that was found in the

Dodge Demon

, which was rated at 840 hp on racing fuel? Or is it something different?

Curiously, Mopar says its reveal is planned for Tuesday, Oct. 30 at the odd time of 4:26 p.m. Could that time be a reference to the 426 Hemi — and specifically the

Generation III 426 Hemi “Elephant”

that

Chrysler

made several years ago? That technically qualifies as “bigger,” and it would also align with both the muscle car-era

Charger

and round, earth-shaking footprints shown in the video. Time will prove whether we were right.
