Nothing is more American than a high-horsepower V8 in a muscle car. Thanks to increased demand, roads are going to feature more of that familiar V8 rumble as Dodge ramps up Hellcat production.
According to Automotive News, FCA has produced approximately 4,000 Hellcat engines so far this year, even as the company stopped taking orders for the Charger and Challenger models in an effort to get caught up with demand.
"We've sold 88,000 muscle cars [this calendar year], Challengers and Chargers, and 4,000 of those have been Hellcats. It's a small sliver of what we sell, but it really creates a halo for the rest of the lineup," Tim Kuniskis, head of Dodge and SRT, told the trade publication. "For example, the next highest car, the Scat Pack Challenger, I have essentially a zero-day supply. It's sold out."
So, if you're looking for a Hellcat in the near-ish future, you may be in luck. What's more American than a muscle car assembled in Canada with an engine from Mexico?
