The Dodge Challenger first appeared in 1970. It was a muscle car, designed to impress with its power and speed. Known for its forceful designs and powerful engines, it has remained one of the company’s best sellers. Unlike its many rivals who could boast similar characteristics, the Challenger was also more affordable. Teens and those young at heart from Andover KS to Seattle WA could more easily afford this muscle car.
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Debuts
The Challenger SRT Hellcat emerged in 2015. It was a high-performance vehicle – a muscle car, something Dodge was good at producing. It came equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi engine capable of 707 hp. It could accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds with the engine and 8-speed transmission working in conjunction. It could also brake quickly. The top speed of this muscle car was 199 mph.
Time Passes
Over the years, the Challenger Hellcat continued to gather a strong fan base. It never underwent major changes. It always remained true to its muscle car roots. It reinforced its supercharged V8 engine and allowed increased customization. In 2022, it is available in various trims including:
• The base SRT Hellcat with capabilities of 717 hp
• The Redeye with 797 hp
• The SRT Super Stock with 807 hp
All vehicles surprise with their comfortable interior and smooth ride. Unfortunately, this marks the coming end of the Dodge Challenger in Andover KS. Despite its success, it is to be discontinued as Dodge makes a commitment to electric vehicles in the coming years.
