Hurricane or HEMI at the Finish Line?

It’s the drag race every RAM fan has been waiting for: the legendary HEMI V8 1500 Limited lined up against the new Hurricane-powered RAM 1500 models. CarExpert recently put them head-to-head on the track — but the results may not be what you expect.

Hurricane Power Takes the Stage

For decades, the HEMI badge has been synonymous with raw V8 muscle. But now, the new 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six Hurricane engine is rewriting the rulebook. Available in both Standard Output and High Output configurations, the Hurricane delivers:

• Blistering acceleration (both Hurricane engines hit the line in under 5.62 seconds).
• Smooth and effortless power delivery.
• A driving experience that balances performance with refinement.

Even the Standard Output 1500 Laramie Sport turned heads in the test, proving that Hurricane power isn’t just about speed — it’s about versatility.

Where Does That Leave the HEMI?

The HEMI still commands respect with its unmistakable V8 growl and heritage. But as the drag strip showdown shows, the future belongs to Hurricane. With cutting-edge engineering and turbocharged efficiency, RAM has raised the bar for full-size pickups.
