Chrysler K engine - Chrysler developed a specialized straight-4 engine for the K_cars, referred to as the K_car engine or Trans Four. This 2.2 liter engine was eventually expanded to 2.5 liters, and fuel injection and turbocharging was added.
Tritec engine - Chrysler and BMW teamed up on a new 1.6 liter engine for subcompact cars to be built in Brazil. Although this engine is not sold in North America in any Chrysler vehicle, it is available in the Mini Cooper from BMW, and is used in international Neons.
Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance - Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Chrysler are working together on a joint-venture 4-cylinder engine in 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4 L sizes.
Chrysler Australian engine - The Australian straight sixes was built on a basic design intended for use in American trucks. They changed from the slant six to Australian-built 215, 245, and 265 sixes in 1970. The Aussie models had hemispherical heads, so the 3-2barrel Weber version could honestly be called a Hemi Six-Pack.
Chrysler LA engine - An evolution of the A engine, and extremely successful. The original LA design is still in use today, as are V6 and V10 engines based on this design.
However, Chrysler has always been known for underrating their engines and the actual performance of this incredible prototype, which survives and is on display at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, suggests that it actually produced between 3,000 and 3,500 hp.
As soon as this engine was introduced, Briggs Cunningham chose to use the Chrysler OHV V8 in some models of his automobiles designed as race cars for international motor sports.
Chrysler reacted by putting the 5.7 L Hemi in the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, 2005 Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum, and the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
