Dodge has spent over a century stuffing insane engines into cars and trucks, turning heads and shredding tires. From V8 legends to V10 beasts, these powerplants aren’t just about numbers—they’re about attitude. We’re counting down the 10 most powerful engines Dodge ever built, with specs, horsepower, and the rides they powered. Buckle up—this is pure American muscle unleashed.

1. 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 Demon (D170)

Topping the list is the 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 Demon, pumping out 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque on E85 fuel. Found in the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, this beast uses a 3.0L supercharger and hits 0-60 in 1.66 seconds. It’s the wildest factory HEMI ever, built for drag-strip domination.

2. 7.0L HEMI V8 Hellephant A170

The 7.0L Hellephant A170 crate engine cranks 1,100 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque with its aluminum block and 3.0L supercharger. Never factory-installed, it’s a Direct Connection monster for custom builds like resto-mods. Running on E85, it’s Dodge’s most powerful offering—period.

3. 7.0L HEMI V8 Hellephant A30

Close behind, the 7.0L Hellephant A30 delivers 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. Another crate engine, it’s E85-optional but runs fine on 93-octane. With a 426 cubic inch displacement, it’s been dropped into custom rides like SpeedKore’s 1970 Charger for Kevin Hart.

4. 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 (Demon)

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon rocked a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 with 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft of torque on race fuel (808 hp on pump gas). Its 2.7L supercharger made it a street-legal terror, sprinting 0-60 in 2.3 seconds—a legend reborn.

5. 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 (Hellcat Redeye)

Powering the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, this 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 churns out 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. With a 2.7L supercharger, it’s a Hellcat on steroids, hitting 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Pure chaos in a sleek package.

6. 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 (Hellcat)

The 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 debuted in 2015 with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Its 2.4L supercharger also powered the Charger SRT Hellcat and Durango SRT Hellcat. A game-changer that sparked Dodge’s horsepower wars.

7. 8.4L V10 (Viper)

The 8.4L V10 in the 2017 Dodge Viper SRT unleashed 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. All-aluminum with forged pistons, it powered the Viper’s final run, hitting 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. A snarling icon that defined Dodge’s wild side.

8. 6.4L HEMI V8 (Apache)

Introduced in 2011, the 6.4L HEMI V8 “Apache” delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. Found in the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Durango SRT, this 392 cubic inch naturally aspirated V8 balances power and emissions, a street fighter with staying power.

9. 7.0L HEMI V8 (426 Street HEMI)

The 7.0L 426 Street HEMI from 1966 roared with 425 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque (real output closer to 470 hp). It powered the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T and Charger R/T. Built for NASCAR, it became a muscle car king.

10. 7.2L V8 (440 Six Pack)

The 7.2L 440 Six Pack V8, with 390 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque, ruled the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. Three Holley carbs fed this 440 cubic inch monster, making it a drag-strip terror and a square-body staple.
