Hot on the heels of the insanely powerful Challenger SRT Hellcat comes the new 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, which is directly inspired by the classic 1969 model.

With a 6.2L V8 HEMI producing 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Charger SRT Hellcat becomes the fastest and most powerful sedan in the world. Its unrivalled 4-door performance includes NHRA-certified quarter mile elapsed time in 11.0 seconds on street tires, 0-100-0 mph (0-160-0 km/h) in under 13 seconds, and a top speed of 204 mph (328 km/h).

The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat also uses an 8-speed, heavy-duty automatic transmission, 15.4'' 2-piece brake rotors with 6-piston Brembo callipers, 20'' forged aluminum wheels with Pirelli P Zero performance tires, and 3-mode adaptive damping. Similar to the Challenger SRT Hellcat, it comes standard with two key fobs: The red one is the only key that can unlock the full horsepower and torque potential of the SRT Hellcat engine, while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output.

Despite paying tribute to vintage Chargers, the new Charger SRT Hellcat features state-of-the-art technology such as an 8.4'' Uconnect touchscreen and a 900W, 18-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, not to mention heated and cooled front seats.

Pricing for the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat will be announced later. Stay tuned for Canadian details.
