2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
According to Dodge//SRT, the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat remains the quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world with the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 that delivers 707 hp and 650 foot-pounds of torque.
The engine is mated to the quick-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
New for 2019, the Charger SRT Hellcat includes a new performance grille with dual inlets that feed cooler outside air into the engine compartment. Bolstering the performance is the addition of four race-inspired technologies that come standard on the Hellcat: launch assist, line lock, after-run chiller and torque reserve.
