A legendery engine available in many forms from the iconic Hemi Cudas and chargers in the 60s and 70s to the modern versions found in 300cs and super fast pick up trucks. Also not forgetting its the engine base of choice for top fuel dragsters, not many engines can be tuned to 8000hp and deliver performance of 0 to 100 mph in under 1 second whilst reaching 300mph in a 1/4 mile stretch about £60,000 will buy you a 500 ci 8000hp hemi that will need rebuilding after 2 miles thats what i call an engine!
