In a world where engine technology is shrinking, this American V8 powerhouse is stronger than ever!
Hemi, a word that is synonymous with racing and high horsepower since its creation in the 1950s with the early 331 Chrysler Hemi. Now, fast forward three generations and 70 years of innovation, we give you a 6.2L, Supercharged monster that would make the original Hemi designers shriek with joy and astonishment at something they’d never dream of being created.
The term “Hemi,” is named for the cylinder head concept “hemispherical combustion chamber,” which allows larger valves and better airflow that lets it make really good power. This 6.2L Gen III Hemi is the pinnacle of the Hemi design and is one of the highest horsepower production V8’s ever produced.
As the premier powerplant in the Dodge lineup, the 6.2L Hemi has been tearing up streets since 2015, and 8 years later it has not missed a step. The 6.2L Hemi breathes through a twin-screw supercharger to make it a 707hp monster and be the main mill for the high horsepower muscle cars that MOPAR puts out today such as:
- 2015–present Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
- 2015–present Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
- 2018–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
- 2021 and 2023 Dodge Durango SRT
- 2017 Ram 1500 TRX Concept
- 2021–present Ram 1500 TRX
The 6.2L Hemi is responsible for being a part of the fastest mass-produced production cars and trucks ever. Whether that was in the Ram 1500 TRX or the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, destroying land speed and quarter-mile times and setting a new bar for what a modern muscle car is supposed to be.
That also includes making some of the highest horsepower and fastest SUVs in the world both on the street, dragstrip, and track. And as the world of automakers continues to create smaller and smaller engines, the jury is out on how long the Hemi will continue to be in service but it will always be one of the highest horsepower powerplants ever mass-produced!
