Technology Revew: The 2012 6.4-Liter HEMI SRT V8 engine exposed

[beeftothetaco123]

Suck on that camshaft prius...

[1974bigdaveful]

just wait until Ford bring back the 7.0 429 & 7.5 460.....but look like the big 3 are bringing back the big blocks!!!!

[72dartmarty]

For all who feel this engine is low tech and from the 50's. True, the first hemi was in an imperial in 1951. As far as "low tech" please understand how foolish you look when you make statements like that. The most powerful engines in motorsports use hemi. No, not NASCAR... NHRA! All top fuel and funny cars use hemi. They crank out upwards of 8000 HP. Yes I said 8000hp. And yes...with push rods.

USA! Don't even compare your gtr motor. No one will even remember it in 20 years.

[sangolt88]

This is the reason America use 20% of world oil

[madtownmadman]

@sangolt88 If you stand by that comment, you'll be doing nothing more than proving your ingorance.

[a2r7n6]

@sangolt88 Move to Cuba.

[bismillahmashallah]

nice looking engine :)

[antiigravity]

Looks pure perfection, even though in20 years it'll not be...Paradox

[largemouthbassrigs]

A lot of people don't even know what hemi stands for, I know it and I'm a ford guy.. (hemispherical engine)

[monstergarageoutlaw]

@largemouthbassrigs type of combustion ie hemispherical combustion look where the plugs go in thru the valve covers

[mannysamjam]

An srt8 jeep will smoke the shit outta a nissan gtr anyday! and its way heavier...

[Verification11]

@mannysamjam R u smoking crack? 2012 gt-r with 530hp goes from 0-60 in 2.9s and it finishes the 1/4 mile in the low 11

even the older model with 480hp make it to 60 in mid 3s and finishes the 1/4mile in the high to mid 11

the jeep srt8 older model goes from 0-60 in the high 4 stock and now with the newer model it achieves low to mid 4s and the 1/4mile comes in around 13s

FYI the new GT-R will have 15HP more thanTHE older 2012model & 60 more than previous models

2.7-2.8 0-60 high10 1/4m

[Verification11]

@Verification11 ^^^ that being said, how can a srt8 smoke a GT-R

are you retarded ?? u know a tenth of a second equals a car length ?

so there's more than a one second difference between the two cars in 0-60 or a 1/4mile you do the math...

even from a roll out there's no comparison between the two cars, since the new GT-R has basically the same TORQUE numbers and more hp, plus better aerodynamic and lighter....

[coolgames14]

let see a 4 cylinder hemi :)

[lukechalloner]

Engines are incredibly complex machines, the engineering effort and design that goes into creating such a beautiful work of art, really shows!! :) - This is my dream car :P

[R7300]

i cant wait to cam one of these

[xoticgunnut]

Cool video, its good to see what has been done internally to the 392. I love my Toxic Orange 392. I am looking forward to some Mopar Performance Parts.

[lemmor6791civ]

Just imagine this engine in an car with less than 3200 lb (1500kg) in weight... it would be a monster...

[ylism]

@lemmor6791civ Like in my 67 Barracuda notch back. It would be less then 3000 LBS, I think it would be a monster too. Just wish I had one to install, and with a 6 speed manual transmission.. Would be sweet running car & get close to 27-30 mpg. I have the car if anyone has the motor & trans ?

[mejawmeyaw]

hemi family ... who got a twin brother of my 2007 charger R/T ?

[krazyfamily88]

Hey people, calm down, enjoy the video if you can or switch .simple. We all don't like the same brands or engines[chevy,ford,dodge], just enjoy it, if you aren't , don't waist you time.

[aboood260]

wat these aT 0:08

[skitzo011]

@andrisc @foam27 @sid203.. Y do u guys watch videos to complain? Im sure u can find some prius videos that would make u happy. btw, more pollution is made making a prius than what this engine can put out throughout its entire life. js

[randomguyfromtexas]

does anyone know if the pistons are stronger than in the old 6.1?

[77dragraceRT]

I would to see this motor in the 1500 Ram as well.

[SOFSoldier1]

Interesting, my 392 Challenger "Certificate of Origin" states it is factory rated 491 SAE HP, and thus Dodge is under-rating these engines significantly. They are actually putting out over 500 horsepower. What a killer beast! Puting out over 432 RWHP w/drivetrain loss-thats upwards of 515 HP

[22trol22]

HEMI engines is wreck try make some hemi with turbo or supercharger more power from same engine this engine is only waste of our world oli reserves

[brett248vista]

@22trol22

25.4 MPG on a 153 mile trip with the cruise set @ 70MPH Try again clown. No it's not a Prius... But considering it's 470 horse I think 25MPG was pretty respectable!

[22trol22]

@brett248vista 25,4mpg hm... nice shit oh i forgot u are huge american boy and like whole world know it in us nobody can get more than 30mpg without prius ... 3.8 V6 biturbo 530 hp ... nissan GTR can make combustion

12.1/100km in town and 10.8/100km on higway (convert to your units) ... this engine is future not this from 1950"s

[brett248vista]

@22trol22

Stick to your Need For Speed Video Games, you are not equipped for real life yet.

[22trol22]

@brett248vista yea mate call me when u wake up ...

[terry1919]

and I bet you have to use 93 octane gasoline so you do not ruin the engine...

[motorolo14]

Does it uses the same 4 cylinders every time, when working on fuel saver mode?

[ROXXEMBOXXEM]

@motorolo14 I would just assume that the cylinders alternate between 2 on each side so that it turns the crank more efficiently and the ware on the engine is more singular. If not and they just use the front 4 or back 4 etc. that would seem like a foolish mistake which could ware the engine faster and reduce efficiency.

[brett248vista]

@ROXXEMBOXXEM

It does not rotate which cylinders deactivate, it's always the same four that deactivate. There are no longevity issues, the rod and piston are still moving just like the other four.. the difference is, spark and fuel is removed and the valves are held open.

[kriscamp608]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[trc5494]

All it is,is a stroked 5.7 I don't understand why they aren't comparing the 5.7 and 6.4 because the 6.1 is a totally different engine

[TheHame110]

@trc5494 the 6.4 is actually a stroked 6.1 which makes the 5.7 a different engine

[brett248vista]

@TheHame110

Wrong.. The 6.4 is the evolution of the "New Eagle" Hemi (5.7L) this is not a "stroked 6.1L" If anything.. It's a stroked and very high performance version of the New Eagle 5.7

[Bladesting]

did he say this has a "Ford steel crankshaft"? lol

[Ghostt5786]

@Bladesting  forged steel

[turbotrana]

Could have gone into more detail

[sid203]

still an old school pushrod Hemi piece of shit

[dobbins2550]

@sid203

I doubt, highly, that you really feel that way. I guess trashing anything you deem inferior (or in you so elegant words, piece of shit) is how you validate your position/opinions. Variable Cam Timing and Active Intake Manifolds are pretty damn high tech. Having pushrods does not deem it a piece of shit and you know that. It is silly to say what you have said.

[05front]

@sid203 So fucken what. A 6.4 that pushes out that much power & they keep the design for a reason. We love our pushrod engines. 

[VANRAMBO]

@sid203 go ride ur toyota or ur 4 cylinder car and let others enjoy their hemi engines !!! I will ripe ur car off anytime with my 2008 jeep srt8

[drippinblood28]

i thought it was gonna be 465 hp, oh well cool 5 more hp is greeat!

[usernameXunavailabl3]

This guy seems pissed off

[barsy07]

This guy is incredibly boring to listen to...

[AAYMF]

dont blame him

his boss is standig in the back

[dobbins2550]

@barsy07

He's an engineer, not a PR guy. The engineers at my father's work would put you to sleep.

[foam27]

I agree, he should be showing us some new tech lithium batteries, and brushless motors......fuckin dinosaurs.

[andrisc]

This is what we need when the world is running out of oil and the ozone layer is getting depleted - 6.4L engines. Way to go America!

[thewhox56]

@andrisc You got that right buddy way to go America for making bigger, better engines. BTW the ozone isn't depleting and we are not running out of oil. Have fun driving your Prius!

[carguy379]

@andrisc seriosuly? go watch some tree hugger videos

[dobbins2550]

@andrisc

This motor is much more fuel efficient and cleaner than the one it replaces.

[1ownjoo2]

@andrisc

I love getting 12mpg in my 5.9 Magnum.... BURP :)
