Cat's out of the bag.
Muscle cars are concerning the amounts, and Dodge has issued the remaining ponycar herd with a triple-digit caution. Packaging 707 hp and 650 lb-feet of torque, the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 "Hellcat" engine is the very things Saturday night legends are made of.
This engine that is outrageous gets the most lofty electricity amount of any V8 engine in Chrysler history. To place it numerically, the Hellcat brings 45 more horsepower in relation to the last Shelby Mustang GT500, 127 more horsepower in relation to the last Camaro ZL1 we examined, and--in what could be looked at as an act of sacrilege by some--67 more hp compared to V10 in the present Viper.
The heat-treated aluminum heads are manufactured from a higher-level, higher-price alloy to put up using the tough thermal cycling that owners of a 700-plus-hp automobile will probably put through them. Increase comes from an IHI screw-type supercharger, the charge kept relatively cool by water that is double -to-air intercoolers. A virtually straight-through exhaust helps the spent exhaust gases way out. Grunt gets channeled through the Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual or a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, which is subsequently routed to the rear wheels via a rear differential, axles, as well as an uprated driveshaft with added cooling system.
