These engines aren't actually Hemis. Hemispherical heads are terrible smog makers. It's just a brand name now. Made good power though.

something about putting pedal to the metal in a Challenger Demon Redeye Widebody with a 6.2 liter supercharged hemi making 840 hp.

Dodge is saying they will be manufacturing a electric muscle car in 2024.

He says he's been hearing those rumors at his facility for several weeks now.

Predating the news articles.

Near the top of that linked article is: "The path forward is fairly simple—keeping in mind none of this has been confirmed by, or even run by, Stellantis people:"


What he actually sent me was:

Yep,

Heard a few weeks ago that they're replacing with turbo inline 6. Doiy.🤪

I suppose a 3L twin turbo 12 cylinder is out of the question?

The hemi V8 won't be missed by most. Fuel bills are an enthusiasm killer!

.... has been one of the most sought-after engines by racing enthusiasts, and have been rebuilding them to the limit of what they can take. They were at the point of being almost impossible to find..... And then:

Together with Energy Manufacturing Ltd. (Energy), Callies Performance Products (Callies) announces a new licensing deal with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to manufacture and distribute the 426 Hemi and the 440 Wedge cast iron engine blocks and cylinder heads (cast iron and cast aluminum). The agreement provisions Energy to produce the cast iron blocks and cylinder heads while Callies, their sister company, will manufacture supporting componentry and rotating assemblies. Sales and distribution will be based at Callies in Fostoria, Ohio.
All parts manufactured will carry authentic Mopar part numbers and be produced from original Mopar molds, cores, and engineering data.
