What starts as molten steel is transformed into performance that
doesn’t flinch at the red line. For this is the legendary HEMI V8
design, engineering contained within 5.7 liters of displacement, and
so refined that it has become the exception to conventional rules.
Utilizing the highly effective hemispherical combustion chamber — a design that burns
fuel efficiently while boosting the output — today’s 5.7-liter HEMI V8 powering Ram
pickups features a wealth of technological advantages. Leading the way is the
intelligent Fuel Saver Technology, which articulates some of the finest technology
for both fuel efficiency and power. Fuel Saver seamlessly shuts off four of the eight
cylinders while under a select range of driving conditions. The transformation from a
mighty V8 into a fuel-sipping 4-cylinder has decidedly positive effects on efficient
operation and overall costs.
Along with Fuel Saver is Variable Valve Timing — VVT, where its application in the HEMI
V8 results in better performance and more efficient overall operation. Because VVT
focuses on engine breathing throughout the rpm range, torque is affected, giving you
increased torque for towing and hauling.
one notable HEMI V8 asset for Ram 1500 is its
Short Runner Valve (SRV) Active Intake Manifold,
which controls air intake flow more efficiently by
changing port length based on engine rpm. SRV
technology contributes to both horsepower and
torque improvements, and is part of why this
engine has won numerous awards and honors —
and will, we think, continue to do so.
