The worlds most powerful sedan

Go do your homework as you don't seem to have a clue.

I'm wondering if you can disable all the nannies. If so, I foresee a lot of carnage.

The Hellcat Charger and Challenger are both ridiculously batshit awesome. It's fantastic that a car at that price can go like that.

Some of you guys go out of your way to shit on this car in any way possible. Haters gon hate.

Haha the C63 needs new rear tires every year. This thing is gonna need at least a set a month!

Everytime you floor this thing, $5.00

Kind of silly for an article to just look at HP and ignore all other important stats like torque, weight, and actual performance.

If someone came out with a 708 HP sedan tomorrow, but it weighed 50,000 lbs, it would also be the "most powerful".

It's like saying "I can go 1,500 km on a tank of gas" without mentioning how big the tank is.

Curious to see what problems arise as the 707HP reveals whatever corners they cut this time. Maybe I will be surprised, but my bet is that the rest of the car doesn't handle the power too well. Taking a very average car and dropping a massive motor in it doesn't sound like the best plan.

I also think it needs way wider tires or AWD haha. That motor is going to absolutely wreck rear tires (or rear brakes if TCS works like that).

Any word on Canadian pricing yet? I'm guessing $75-80K, maybe more if Dodge lets dealers do whatever they want.

Challenger Hellcat is $63,995 so this is likely to be a little less than that. Canadian dealers also aren't allowed to markup unless they add their own accessories.

Not too much fun for the track if you keep having to come in for fuel every couple of laps


I'm trying to like this car... it is very cool that they have shoved so much power into it, the interior is also stepped up a bit.... but I am grasping to find something else positive about it.

I guess the main issue I have with this is the same as the big horsepower Bentley’s… what are you actually going to do with this car? Show it off at Mopar meets?

200mph for 13 minutes is a good range. Any speeds slower and the time to empty will be significantly longer as nobody is holding peak HP on a track for more than a few seconds.

Another few minutes and the tires will be done too.

I'm asking myself the same question. I've decided there must be an intangible quality that I'm missing or is lost on me.

As for showing it off at a Mopar meet, for some that would be worth the purchase. I'd have to think one of these Hellcats would put you top of the heap. Nothing wrong with that either. Most of the car shows I go too consist of many cars I don't understand or care about. I can use the recent Euro car show at Stanely Park as an example. I don't even bother with the VW section, the Lambos do nothing for me I skip right by, Ferrari's I'll linger a little. Porsche I'll stand and stare all day. Yet for some, all 911's look like VW Beetles.

More choice out there the better I say, even if I don't get "it"

This car is for people that don't want to modify themselves. Buy. Show up at shows. People ogle. They get their rocks off and drive it home.

Quickly

The only thing I am upset about is this car is going to delay my retirement plan.

[Darell_n]

Waiting for a Hellcat Jeep anouncement next month.

You also get to retain your warranty as well.

There are lots of people who love this kind of car. I just showed this and the Challenger Hellcat to my manager, and he thanked me for delaying paying off his house LOL.

Best value for money, relative to other things!

That's a cool graphic.

It's amazing how fast modern cars (sedans) are getting. I was at the strip on the weekend and there was a new M5 and RS7 running 11's. Also a new E63 but I didn't catch what it ran. This car will be even faster but $50k cheaper. Amazing.
