The engine is all Chrysler. Only the platform borrows components from the old e-class.

hehe man your funny. The only way you will acknowledge that a car is good is by saying they could only do it with the help of Germany. hah with the connections between Chrysler and Mitsubishi, you would have been more correct in saying "They did it with helping of Japan"

limon, it wouldn't make sense for them to go to japan for help with such an engine: that has benz/chrysler written all over it

go take your meds you freak, hemi is 100% american conception, perhaps they got some financial help from daimler and had to share some components to reduce costs but that's it

well german-cars-lover can you tell me exactly how germany helped chrysler with the 6.1 liter hemi v8? obviously you know more than the rest of us, even though i spent four years of my life until 2004 working for dodge as a service technician. yes i was five star certified, and regularly performed tear down and repair if the 5.7 liter hemi, and i did go to detroit for certification training, and Dodge did give us a brief history of the hemi, and seeing as how it developed from the max wedge engine from the forty's and fifty's, enlighten me on how the germans helped with the development of this engine. beacause as i said before you must know something about the internal reasearch and development workings of dodge, chrysler, and daimler that we don't.

i am sorry german-cars-lover, but i have to ask you since you made such a bold claim about the engine, but do you even know what HEMI means? and how it diffenentiates itself from other engines, and how it works? for that matter do you even know how an internal cumbustion engine works?

i think other people will agree with me when i say german-cars-lover, don't let your mouth write a check your butt can't cash. next time you post a comment, please make sure you know what your talking about. i am sure that the new challenger does have some engineering and/or components from daimler, but not the engine, thats all american.

The only link that I think German car lovers could be referring to is the German engineers that helped design the first gasoline engines. But even then they were just a small link in the chain. they weren't the first people to make an engine, and they didn't even make a car for it to go into. http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aacarsgasa.htm Cars came around due to many different nationalities. All that the Germans did in the first 100 years was improve on someone else's design. Or if there is some other massive underlying link between the hemi and Germany... please enlighten us all

there obviously is--are you familiar with benz's 6.2 v8, and also are you aware of dodge's srt8 (6.1 v8)--both of these engines are derived from then same base, and anyone can see that

What about MDS techonology ?? Is it American ? (( Please be honest ))

Nothing liek an American company to go retro-gas guzzler in a time when the Japanese are poised to take the world market away from GM and Americans are becoming more and more concerned with energy independence. Detroit - out of touch and out of time.

NO dbehmoaras they are not derived from the same base just because of the similar displacement. the hemi is just a bored over version of the 5.7L, it has 2 large diameter valve, hemisphereical, 2 sparkplug heads. and the mercedes has four valve, one sparkplug, timing chain driven heads, this means that the engine block has an entirely different set up towards the front of the engine. the oil pan set up is completley different, and the cooling jackets, as well as the intakes, are also completely different. no dbehmoaras they are not the same engine as you may believe.

i am not sure where fuel displacement saving technology/engineering originated. in fact i'm sure it probably originated from europe and most likely germany, but i was not arguing about that, like i said in my previous comment, i am sure that the new challenger DOES have some engineering and/or components from daimler, but NOT the engine. my arguement was about the origin and development of engine itself, not fuel management.

Have you seen that C&D cover??? Apr 2008???

I think the only thing that might be from germany in this engine is materials technologies. And perhaps some german engineers that helped design it. And lets face it not all mercedes engines are 100% german they also contract out manufacturing of certain parts to asia and europe. So even if they shared some internal parts with Mercedes it doesnt necessarily mean they were german parts.
