The Latest Breaking News from Hemi

It’s never easy to admit a mistake, but that’s what Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis did last month. The brand had dropped the Hemi V-8 engine from the 1500 with the 2025 revamp, which some buyers didn’t like. Ram is rectifying that error for 2026, and it appears customers are eager…

Ram wants to go racing once again. CEO Tim Kuniskis has plans to rejoin NASCAR as soon as February. The automaker has revealed a Ram 1500 concept race truck that previews what we could see competing at Daytona early next year in the Craftsman Truck Series, if everything goes according…

The Dodge, Ram, and Jeep lineups are deficient in one crucial thing—Hemi V-8 engines.
