The HEMI® Rides
Again |
| |
The legendary engine that powered
Chrysler's muscle cars of the 1960s has been re-engineered and
reborn as a modern high-performance, fuel-efficient and durable
powerplant known as the
5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine.
The modern Chrysler Group
5.7-liter HEMI engine is elegantly simple. It achieves power,
fuel economy and emissions goals with a design that is uncomplicated
and cost effective.
The HEMI engine is also extremely versatile, offering best-in-class
performance in the Dodge Ram and Dodge Durango. It is configured to
be a smooth premium engine in the Chrysler 300C and
Dodge Magnum R/T, and soon it will power the all-new 2005 Jeep®
Grand Cherokee.
The modern HEMI is engineered to deliver outstanding performance and
reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), resulting in a highly
refined powerplant. The engine gives the all-new 2005 Jeep Grand
Cherokee best-in-class power, with 90 percent of the engine's peak
torque available from 2400 through 5100 rpm, for excellent
performance.
Fuel economy has also been improved, but not at the expense of HEMI
performance. Chrysler Group has developed and was the first to offer
Multi-Displacement System (MDS) on a modern, large-volume vehicle in
North America with its debut on the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum.
Now with the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Group will offer
fuel-conserving MDS in a sport-utility vehicle. The MDS seamlessly
alternates between four cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, and
V-8 mode when more power from the
5.7-liter HEMI is in demand.
The modern HEMI engine offers more horsepower and torque than any
Chrysler Group vehicle passenger car engine since the legendary
426 HEMI of the '60s and '70s. In the Chrysler 300 and Dodge
Magnum, the
5.7-liter HEMI produces 340 hp @ 5000 and 390 lb.-ft. at 4000.
The
5.7-liter HEMI engine debuted on the all-new Dodge Ram 2500 and
3500 as the standard engine offering. Producing 330 hp at 4800 rpm
and 375 lb.-ft. at 4200 rpm, the HEMI provides more power than
competitive standard V-8 engines. Versus competitive vehicles with
similar size gasoline engines, it provides best-in-class
acceleration and towing capability. The HEMI is available in the
Dodge Ram 1500 to create the most powerful mass-production,
light-duty pickup on the market. The
5.7-liter HEMI engine is also available in the Dodge Durango,
producing 335 hp at 5200 rpm and 370 lb.-ft. at 4200 rpm.
Production of the
5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine is at Chrysler Group's
state-of-the-art Saltillo Engine Plant II in Saltillo, Mexico. |
