2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Spied

Just after we got word of an SAE-certified Charger Hellcat, prototypes have been spied testing on Detroit roads.

The 707-horsepower Charger will become the world’s most powerful sedan if put into production. Even though its arch-rival, the Chevrolet SS, will get a manual transmission starting in the 2015 model year, I’m becoming increasingly comfortable with the idea of an automatic only Charger Hellcat. The 8-speed automatic is not only a great gearbox, but I love the idea of perfect, launch control starts at every occassion. It’s better than the alternative: wrapping the thing around a telephone pole.

...an 11 second Charger? This needs to come in a nice dark olive green or burnt orange. BTW, when does the build and price for the '15 models go live?

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but Fiat is actually doing the right thing with Dpdge...it doesn't even matter if this car sells in any volume but putti a 707HP V8 SEDAN out there pretty much says it all in terms of what the brand is all about, no more confusion about what Dpdge and what Chrysler are supposed to be. Dodge is going to be what Pontiac should have been but never was while Chrysler will be the mainstream lineup with the 200 and 300 and Jeep is well, Jeep. I don't think I've ever considered actually buying a Dodge but if they really put out a 707HP sedan I might have to reconsider. The car is completely ridiculous and absurd and shouldn't exist but damn it's fucking exciting and nobody ever gets excited about a four door sedan.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
