Mopar Performance Parts Creates Incredible New Engine

What is the 1,000 Horsepower Hellephant Engine? 

As new vehicle model years come and go, drivers are always looking forward to what’s next and what’s exciting. As technology increases in the world, so does it in our vehicles. What once was just a wish or a hope now is becoming reality, as engineers and designers are able to create some of the most exciting new things such as powerful engines. So, just what is the 1,000 horsepower Hellephant Engine? 

Back in April, Mopar opened up pre-orders for their Mopar Hellephant 426 Supercharged Crate HEMI Engine. This engine is able to generate an unbelievable 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. This engine first made its debut at the 2018 SEMA Show in Las Vegas but is coming close to release. 

“The reaction when we revealed the ‘Hellephant‘ engine at the SEMA Show was just amazing, and the momentum continued after the show, with close to 1,000 people expressing interest in buying this engine. Power and performance are ingrained in our brand’s DNA, and there is no better time to open pre-orders of this 1,000-horsepower, supercharged engine than on HEMI Day.”

What is Mopar? 

Mopar gets its name from the combination of the words MOtor and PARts, and it is the service, parts and customer-care brand for all FCA models. Mopar was originally created back in 1937 but didn’t really break out onto the scene until Mopar Performance Parts built parts to help improve the speed and handling of vehicles.
