2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat horsepower revealed
Omigod! They just blew everyone into last year. You won’t believe the amount of power next year’s super fast Hellcat will unleash

STOP. THE. PRESS. News just in.
We’ve all been speculating what sort of horsepower the new 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat top-dog muscle car will be putting out from its new 6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8.
We know the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 puts out a magnificent 580bhp, and that the sensational Ford Mustang GT500 puts out an amazing 662bhp, so I speculated that the devilish Hellcat would just pip it with 666bhp. I was wrong.

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Horsepower
Holy Toledo – this has a tarmac churning, fire-starting, earth-moving 707bhp and an unprecedented 650lb ft of torque, making it Dodge’s most powerful V8 ever – in fact, sod it, the most powerful production muscle car ever.
The first factory supercharged HEMI is so powerful that it comes with two key fobs – red and black. Use the regular black key and you get ‘only’ 500bhp. Deploy the red key though, and you get the full-force 707!
All that muscle gets to the back wheels via a new TorqueFlite eight-speed auto. And of course it gets the updated interior from the new 2015 Challenger inspired by the 1971 Challenger, plus a distinct front and bonnet for the Hellcat. It’s built at the Brampton, Ontario, Assembly Plant and you can expect to see these ripping overpriced exotica a new one on our streets at the beginning of 2015.
We can’t wait to drive it – in fact we soon will. Stay locked onto MotoringME.com for more!

What will be the estimate price for this car? Any idea?
Too early to say.
