Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is a mental giant

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Supercharged

It has been a while since Dodge announced the Challenger SRT Hellcat. The claimed figures have left aficionados awestruck as they wait to get their hands on this “mental giant”. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is “not for everyone”, according to the company that makes it. Dodge has also revealed the pricing for this beast and for all the power it packs, it seems like a bargain at $59,995. So, America’s most powerful muscle car is cheaper than a rather sophisticated BMW M4 or a Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake.

The R/T Scat Pack and 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker models are priced from $38,495 and are powered by 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the new flagship offering jaw-dropping performance at just $59,995.

The top-spec SRT Hellcat is built for the drag strip. The 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque can be accessed via an 8-speed automatic with rev-match or a 6-speed manual.
