For 2015 Dodge finally unleashed the much-anticipated Challenger Hellcat. The pre-release information listed the performance as over 600 horsepower. No one expected the final number to be 707-hp and a 0- to 60-mph time in the low three second range. Published 1/4-mile times on stock tires have been as low as 11.2 seconds at 125-mph. The Hellcat had its sights on the Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Shelby GT 500 and immediately took title as America’s most powerful car. Tim Kuniskis, Dodge president and CEO, claimed, "The new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the ultimate performance musclecar."

Fiat Chrysler Automobile may have been fortunate when the launch of its audacious 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat coincided with unexpectedly low fuel prices. Not only did this brawny platform suddenly become socially acceptable, its retro styling and locomotive-like power offers an alluring alternative to the self-righteous flavor of the eco cars.

To say the Hellcat is built for speed is an understatement of epic proportions. The Hellcat packs a massive supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that generates a scorching 707 horsepower and 650- lb/ft of torque; it also has a six-speed manual transmission. The Challenger is, in fact, the most potent American production car on the market capable of reaching a supercar-like 204-mph, trailing just behind such exotica as the V-12-powered Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, which produces 730 horsepower.

Presented in Plum Crazy with carbon racing stripes and a black interior; this original platform is an almost new example with four miles displayed on the odometer. Power equipment is part of the package, as is an AM/FM radio. The car is reported as “one of one” with this color and stripe combination, but this has not yet been independently verified at the timing of writing.
