Variable Valve Timing A technology utilized in Formula One race cars, is now featured in the 5.7L HEMI V8. VVT
offers increased engine breathing throughout the RPM range by varying the degree that the valves open and
close in conjunction with the piston position. Results are tangible: better performance, more efficient operation
and increased torque for towing and hauling.
Multi-displacement System (MdS) Deactivates 4 cylinders (1, 4, 6, and 7) during steady speed between 40-60
mph, low-acceleration and shallow-grade climbing conditions. Fuel economy is improved up to 6 percent,
depending on driving habits
