The history of the hemispherical head is so exceptional in the world of transportation and
engineering, it’s now approaching legendary status. The bulletproof nature of this design
has resulted in applications ranging from WWII aircraft to Muscle Car Era domination to
the stunning and refined performance of the new 2013 Ram 1500 models.

The emphasis is performance that meets future criteria, and
the HEMI V8 goes the extra mile. The Multi-Displacement
System (MDS) Fuel Saver Technology seamlessly shuts off
four of the eight cylinders when less power is needed,
transforming the mighty V8 into a fuel-sipping 4-cylinder.
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) opens and closes the valves in
the most ideal manner based on engine speed and driving
conditions, allowing optimal engine breathing throughout the
entire rpm range and delivering valuable increased torque for
towing and hauling.
Greater efficiencies of operation are also accomplished by the Short Runner Valve (SRV)
Active Intake Manifold, which controls intake airflow by changing the port length based
on engine rpm. The SRV contributes to both horsepower and torque improvements over
similar engines lacking the technology and joins the many contributing factors which
make this engine design so phenomenally successful.
It’s an 8-cylinder for
the tough jobs, an efficient
4-cylinder for the cruise. Sometimes
less is truly better.
