2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat First Drive


The Kids Will Never Be Late to School Again


The world is full of numbers people, those who want to qualify the concept of "best" with cold, hard, irrefutable performance figures. For the numbers people among us, I present the Dodge Charger Hellcat. With the Charger Hellcat's supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 producing 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, a claimed 0 to 60 mph time of 3.7 seconds, a quarter-mile run of 11.0 seconds flat, and a top speed of 204 mph, Dodge says you simply can't buy a faster, more powerful production four-door sedan. Nor have you ever been able to.

Dodge isn't lying. The current crop of super sedans is the fastest yet, but none can touch the Charger Hellcat's power output or top speed. The $181,295 Porsche Panamera Turbo S has "just" 570 hp and will "only" hit 192 mph, given enough road and bravery. The BMW Alpina B7? Roughly $130,000 to start, 540 hp, 194 mph. Mercedes-Benz' $224,625 S65 AMG super sedan is electronically limited to 186 mph, despite its 621 hp. The closest top speed rival is the $207,820, 552-hp Aston Martin Rapide S with a claimed 203-mph v-max. Of course top speed claims are really just bragging rights -- no one in the market for a four-door sedan is really running near double-century speeds -- but they're bragging rights nonetheless.
