As far as a bigger HEMI, there doesn't seem to be much reason for them to do that, since they don't have any competition for the current version yet.
I find it interesting that the low-end 300s and Magnums have more sophisticated engines than the top of the line model. The 2.7 V6 has an aluminum block, 4 valves per cylinder, and double overhead cams. The 3.5 V6 makes due with single overhead cams, and the 5.7 HEMI V8 has a cast iron block and pushrods!
I wonder which costs more to produce, the 2.7 V6 or the HEMI? The HEMI has two extra cylinders/pistons/connecting rods, but 1 cam instead of 4, fewer valves, and they don't have to cast cylinder liners into the block. I wouldn't be suprised if the HEMI is actually cheaper to build.

I drove the 340 hp Magnum and it was slow. I love the render of the 2 door charger, but that 4 door is awful, IMO. If you are going to make it look like the 300C, then why even build it?
The Charger was a great car in the 60s/early 70s, but a 4 door? Give me a break. Even with a 6.0L the weight in that car would slow it too much for me to consider it. Let me know when they decide to make it a 2 door with similar lines to the 68 SS Charger.
My dad has a 70 in his barn, and I'd take that any day over that 4 door render. His 440 would also kick the **** of that 340hp hemi.

Just thought I'd throw in, did you know they are making a movie for 2006 called Dukes of Hazzard? Wonder what car they will use.

the Charger R/T is supercharged, the 4.7-liter SOHC, 16-valve, V8 engine has the kind of ferocity that results in 325 horsepower.
But Charger R/T is environmentally gentle -- its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel produces negligible emissions at the tail pipes.

I think it will proboly look like this, here is the page it came from 2006 Charger
here is the write up:
2006 Dodge Charger
On Sale : Summer 2005
A rear-drive sedan with a design completely opposite that of its previous design philosophy. This car has long hood, low profile and tons of V8 power courtesy of an all-new Hemi powerhouse. A lower V6 model may also be offered, along with possible coupe and all-wheel-drive variations. Of course, it also packs numerous Mercedes Benz parts
