Stellantis Just Confirmed Will the Hemi V8 Survive?
Stellantis has been on a killing spree, eliminating semi-powers from various models. Although increasingly rare, the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 is clearly here to stay in the future. That remains to be seen, but the engine powered the Ram 2500 Power Wagon concept at SEMA. Hemipower was once a hallmark of Dodge and Ram, but the once-ubiquitous engine is becoming increasingly rare. In addition to the absence of HEMI in the redesigned Dodge Charger, HEMI is no longer used in the facelifted Ram 1500 and the latest versions of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(" 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); While the engine range continued in a handful of models - including the Durango and Wrangler 392 (not so) final editions - it was widely seen as ominous. However, a version of the popular powertrain may stick around for a while.…
