Hemi is a special type of engine design that makes the car run faster and smoother. It’s named after the half‑sphere shape of its combustion chamber.
Hemi refers to a hemispherical combustion chamber design used in some V8 engines, most famously by Chrysler. The shape allows for better airflow and higher performance compared to conventional flathead designs.
