The feeling is nostalgia. The performance is modern-day technology. The bragging rights are yours. This is the famed Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Its performance is haloed by a 707-horsepower, 650 l b – ft of torque Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® SRT Hellcat V8 engine. Its dominance shows in 0 – 60 runs in 3.6 seconds and its impressive 10.96 quarter-mile elapsed time – even on street tires.
The new SRT Hellcat Widebody charger uses 20-inch 11-inch Carbon Black wheels and wide Pirelli® 305 / 35ZR20 tires. This combination teams with a new competition suspension tuning with Bilstein® three-mode adaptive damping to produce even more grip, delivering next-level performance on the street, strip and road course. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody also runs 2.1 seconds faster on a 2.1-mile road. That’s equal to 13 car lengths after one lap.
All Charger SRT Hellcat models include the SRT® tuned Bilstein Three-Mode Adaptive Damping Suspension system that provides driver-selectable settings to include: Street (Auto) Mode = sporty but compliant ride; Sport Mode = firm, maximum handling; Track Mode = firm, maximum handling plus performance shifting and a gear-holding feature to suit any driver’s needs. The SRT Drive Modes, which are accessed via the 8.4-inch Uconnect® touchscreen, offer selectable settings for Street (Auto), Sport and Track. There’s also a custom setting that allows drivers to customize their experience. This can be achieved by individually adjusting horsepower, gear change speeds, steering effort, switches, traction and suspension. The standard SRT Performance Pages bring critical vehicle performance data to the driver’s fingertips. Also, the race options give the driver the ability to access Launch Control, Shift Light and Line Lock.
Each 2020 Dodge vehicle pays homage to its iconic bloodline with snarling engines and sleek exteriors that beg to be taken out on the open road. This is what it means to be domestic. Not domesticated.
