Engineering Excellence: The Hurricane's Secret Weapons

The Hurricane engine family introduces several key innovations. Twin turbochargers ensure quick throttle response, while plasma transfer wire arc coating in cylinder bores reduces friction. An advanced high-pressure direct fuel injection system enhances performance, and robust internal components, including forged steel parts, contribute to the engine's durability. These features allow the Hurricane engines to deliver power comparable to V8 engines while improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.

Driving Towards a Greener Future

The Hurricane engine's development is a key component of Stellantis' ambitious Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This initiative aims to position the company as a leader in clean, safe, and affordable mobility solutions. With a target of achieving carbon net zero status by 2038, Stellantis is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.

The Road Ahead: Stellantis Leads the Charge
