 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Joins The 700 HP Club Mopar Fans' Prayers, Answered: 707 HP, 650 LB-FT! Chrysler Group is done teasing us with its "more than 600 hp" estimate for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, revealing the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8's official output numbers. What are those numbers, you ask? An astounding 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.
Chrysler said when it announced the Hellcat that the engine would be the most powerful V-8 the company has produced to date, but still that figure comes as a bit of a surprise. The SRT Hellcat is more powerful than the Viper, which makes 640 hp and 600 lb-ft from an 8.4-liter V-10. Compared to its competitors, the Hellcat makes 45 hp and 19 lb-ft more than the 662-hp Ford Shelby GT500, and 127 hp and 94 lb-ft more than the 580-hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
By surpassing the GT500, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat takes its place as the most powerful mass-produced American car ever.
