Between AI-generated images and a lack of any official announcements from Stellantis, the existence of a 2026 Plymouth Barracuda seems incredibly unlikely.
If you’ve been around the automotive side of the internet for any length of time, you’ve likely heard rumors that Chrysler (now Stellantis) is going to revive the Plymouth Barracuda, which ended production in the 1970s, and take the muscle car world by storm. The same rumor comes to the surface every few years. This time, the 2026 Plymouth Barracuda is rumored to be arriving and, thanks to AI, anyone with an internet connection and a lax attitude towards the truth can generate a reasonably realistic image of a would-be modern ‘Cuda and pass it off as the real deal. At least, if you don’t look too hard.
