If you had the opportunity to get your hands on an automotive beast, clock an 11-second quarter mile, hit up to a top speed of 204 mph, and feel 707-horsepower surging through your veins, would you take the chance?
Most would call it just a dream of hitting the track behind a vehicle you can't afford, but that was before the inception of Chrysler Group's most powerful factory-supercharged HEMI®, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat. The two Dodge performance vehicles that are worthy of such a gem--the Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat-- have been a hot topic among performance aficionados, and the powertrain has no intention of stepping out of the limelight.
Given it's extraordinary potent nature, WardsAuto's named it on its 10 Best Engines List for 2015, along with the Chrysler Group's other talked-about engine, the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel equipped on the RAM 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
"A 707-horsepower engine in a car started at less than $60,000 is an achievement by itself, but what impressed WardsAuto editors beyond the V-8's prodigious output, diamond-coated washers, extra-strong alloy pistons and other extras that went into engineering this masterpiece, is how civilized the beast is in ordinary driving," says Drew Winters, editor-in-chief of Ward's Auto World and senior editor of WardsAuto.com.1
