The incoming 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT has officially been crowned the most powerful muscle car on the planet due to a recent report by Dodge that states the car outputs 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque when paired with a 6.2L HEMI Hellcat engine! A major announcement by the automaker, this news trumps previous claims that the Challenger would produce a little over 600 horsepower when matched with the same engine and cements the car as one of the most anticipated new models for 2015. The new supercharged engine also marks the first time Dodge and SRT have taken advantage of V-8 supercharger technology, which could continue to be a huge benefit for the company in the future.
Packed with so much power, the 2015 Challenger SRT comes with not one, but two different key fobs. The black one reduces the car's output to 500 horsepower and the red one gives the driver access to the car's full potential: 707 horsepower. The redesigned car also comes with a Torque Flight eight-speed automatic transmission, which works alongside the engine to reach optimal performance. Check out a new clip of the Challenger SRT Hellcat below to see its new engine action.
