The Latest Breaking News from Hemi

The new Dodge Charger Daytona EV is the all-electric (for now) successor to the gas-powered Charger and Challenger lineup. But can it win over Hemi V8 fans?

The Dodge, Ram, and Jeep lineups are deficient in one crucial thing—Hemi V-8 engines. Yes, the 5.7- and 6.2-liter V-8s continue to power the current-generation Durango, and the Jeep Wrangler 392 exists with the 6.4, but the engine is missing from other important models like the new Charger and 1500. However,…

Dodge isn't the same company it used to be. With the Challenger being discontinued and the Charger ditching its V-8, the muscle car maker's lineup looks a lot different for the 2025 model year. But that's not to say there aren't still interesting vehicles to choose from.

With a paltry one mile showing on its digital odometer, this 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 can likely claim the title of lowest-mile muscle car on the planet.

Ram's former and current CEO Tim Kuniskis loves the Hemi V-8. Mention it and he'll wax poetic about the instant torque, the Hellcat's supercharger whine, and the music it makes when all eight cylinders are thundering. Now that he's back in mix, everyone wants to know the same thing. When…

Dodge, perhaps alone among contemporary automakers, has seen immense success in translating the archaic 20th-century Muscle Car formula into the 21st. It has done this by stuffing increasingly outrageous iterations of its modern Hemi V8 into nearly every vehicle in its product line. Its fervent Hellcat-ing has been enough, surprisingly,…

Carlos Tavares is gone as Stellantis' CEO, and in the aftermath of his resignation, a number of company insiders have come forward to provide an autopsy on his time as chief executive. It's not pretty, but one part of the saga is particularly jarring. “Everybody wanted to keep [Hemi],” a source…

We're now a few weeks away from the first Dodge Charger EVs hitting the streets, and even if the Mopar-or-no-car crowd is understandably skeptical about trading Hemi V8 power for electricity, we know that car won't be messing around at the drag strip. But as they tend to do, the…

Dodge Direct Connection is rolling into SEMA with all kinds of Hemi engines. Unfortunately, none of them are in a new production car. But mechanically inclined individuals now have two new budget-friendly choices to build a monster V-8.

Hemi Labs, a start-up that aims to consolidate the powers of Bitcoin and Ethereum under one network, has raised $15 million in its first funding round with lead investors including Binance Labs, Breyer Capital, and Big Brain Holdings.
