2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

Some cars you buy because they make sense. This 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is not one of them, and that is precisely the point. The supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 is backed by a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic with AutoStick and steering wheel paddle shifters, and the 200-mph primary speedometer tells you how seriously Dodge took this car.

It was built to be driven, not just admired. SRT-tuned Bilstein three-mode competition suspension, configurable drive modes, Brembo six-piston front brakes, an anti-spin rear differential, and 20-inch SRT low gloss black wheels wrapped in Pirelli performance tires all came standard. Inside are SRT Laguna leather seats with the Hellcat logo, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, SRT Performance Pages, Uconnect 8.4 with navigation, and an 18-speaker premium audio system with a Harman Kardon amplifier and subwoofer.

With just 10,275 miles on the odometer, this Hellcat has been saved for the good days rather than the daily commute. Our service department had it on the lift again this month for an oil change, fresh filters, and a tire rotation. If you have always wanted one, come sit in it and let us walk you through its history.
