The Hellcat name was borrowed from the Grumman F6F Hellcat, a World
War II Navy fighter plane, and the engine that carries the name was
developed under a secret internal project called Operation Tomcat
that almost never got approved. When Dodge finally revealed it, the
response was overwhelming and demand far exceeded anything they had
anticipated. The 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful
American muscle car ever built at the time of its production, and
this one is finished in Pitch Black Clearcoat with a black interior
from one end to the other. Blacked out, fully equipped, and freshly
serviced in May 2026.
Under the hood the 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi V8 produces 707
horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, backed by the TorqueFlite
8HP90 8-speed automatic. This transmission was developed
specifically to handle the Hellcat's output and shifts in just 160
milliseconds, faster than any human hand can change gears with a
manual. Street, Sport, and Track modes change the shift speed,
throttle mapping, and steering feel to suit the situation, and
steering wheel paddle shifters keep the driver in control of every
gear change when the mood strikes. The Hellcat also comes with two
key fobs. The red one unlocks all 707 horsepower. The black one
limits it to 500. It is the kind of detail only Dodge would think
of.
Inside, the Premium Laguna Leather SRT seats are clean and well
appointed with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering
wheel, dual climate control, and six-way power driver seat
adjustment. The cabin is dark, focused, and built around the
experience of driving something with this much power.
The Brembo six-piston high performance brake system on this car
featured 15.4 inch two-piece rotors when it was introduced, the
largest front brake package ever offered on any Fiat Chrysler
vehicle at the time. Stopping 707 horsepower required a serious
commitment from the engineering team, and this system delivers. The
Challenger itself is no longer in production, and the window on
finding well-kept Hellcat examples in desirable configurations is
narrowing every year.
