Mopar fans, this is the one you've been waiting for. Dodge has officially announced the 6.2L Supercharged SRT Hellcat Challenger with "more than 600 horsepower". Now that the Shelby GT500 is gone, this is officially America's most powerful muscle car.
While Dodge announced a whole new Challenger lineup at this year's New York Auto Show, the Hellcat was notably absent – perhaps due to the reorganization of FCA's brands, and the suspicion surrounding the Hellcat's place in either the SRT or Dodge brand.
But now that SRT is no longer a standalone brand, the Hellcat remains a dodge, and the 6.4L Supercharged engine will make its way into other SRT vehicles. The Challenger Hellcat will get a choice of either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic, and buyers will get two key fobs. A red one unlocks full power, while a black one limits the engine's power, while also allowing for a valet mode to disable launch control, lock out first gear and impose a lower redline.
