It’s hard to deny that the extremely powerful Hellcat Hemi V8 excited enthusiasts everywhere – and, inevitably, has been the subject of a number of engine swaps and a few “what if” scenarios.
One left-field choice would have been a Hellcat-powered Chrysler Pacifica. This has already been imagined by Abimelec Design, who’s back with more.
The original rendering showed just a front three-quarter view of the minivan, which had been given a big hood scoop and some aggressive new grille elements to feed that hungry kitten. With wide fender flares and wide wheels, we were left to wonder else could be included in the imaginary upgrade and now we have the answers.

“This has been one of the most popular renderings I’ve done, so I figured it was only appropriate to give it a follow-up,” the designer writes on Facebook. “This time in full 3D, to showcase what was not possible in the first 2D Photoshop-produced image.”
The major addition that these new renderings bring is a view of the rear, which sports WK1 STR8 Jeep-inspired exhaust tips that certainly contribute to this Pacifica‘s aggressive demeanor. Along with the new angles, the renderings also come with fun colors in classic Mopar style.
Unlike the Hellcat-powered Pacifica drawing sketched by Ralph Gilles, who was FCA’s head of design and now has a senior design role at Stellantis, this van maintains just a little spoiler, not a massive wing. It’s a bit of restraint that I actually like, as it makes it all seem a little more believable.
Abimelec Design also created another rendering, this time confining the minivan to a plastic container as a Hot Wheels model. I don’t know if Stellantis could move many Hellcat Pacificas, but I bet this toy would fly off the shelves, both literally and metaphorically.
