The whompin’, stompin’, 707-hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 from the Challenger SRT Hellcat appears poised to make its way into an additional Dodge’s engine bay. Anybody surprised? The Hellcat’s second application has been offered away in papers filed with the Society of Automotive Engineers that describe engine information for a Hellcat-powered Dodge Charger sedan.
For these keen on cold, bizarre-sounding titles to technical papers, the SAE filing in question is called “J1349 Certified Energy Engine data for Chrysler as employed in 6.2L SC HEMI (Hellcat) 2015MY Dodge Challenger 6.2L SC SRT 2015MY Dodge Charger 6.2L SC SRT – Level 1.” Enable us to simplify that wordy mess to what we suspect the production auto will be known as: “2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.”
So it appears like we have a 707-hp supersedan on the way sometime throughout the 2015 model year, at which point it will become the most horsepower-drunk production 4-door in the planet. Go ‘Murica. Mission accomplished. Bust out fireworks and the stars and stripes.
But wait—what does Dodge have to say? So far, the automaker has been mum on the topic, even dodging the question (pun not intended) when we asked them about the notion of a Charger Hellcat at the current initial drive system for the 2015 Challenger. But if we were bettin’ folks, we’d say you could count on the automobile to appear in dealerships by the end of 2014.
Pricing need to fall within burnout distance of the Challenger SRT Hellcat’s $ 60,990 MSRP. Now that Dodge appears to be spreading the Hellcat really like, might we suggest tossing the supercharged V-8 into, say, the Chrysler 300? Or perhaps the Viper . . . ?
