GM 8.3L Mongoose Duramax V8 Turbo Diesel Confirmed, Targets Ford's Scorpion Engine

GM says the new diesel is aimed at Ford’s Power Stroke and could top 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.

  • On Monday, General Motors announced a new 8.3-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 engine, dubbed the "Mongoose," for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD and 2027 GMC Sierra HD.
  • A teaser video depicts a mongoose attacking a scorpion, directly targeting Ford's "Scorpion" 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, the best-in-segment engine for model year 2026.
  • Replacing the current 6.6-liter Duramax producing 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque, the new engine aims to surpass Ford's 500 horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet benchmark.
  • This marks the first Duramax in a pickup to exceed 6.6 liters since 2000, confirming Detroit's continued escalation of the heavy-duty power arms race.
  • Despite average U.S. diesel prices crossing $6.51, with California hitting $8.42, automakers show no signs of slowing competition for heavy-duty truck performance supremacy.
