00:02 For the first time ever, the Dodge Challenger SRT
00:09 will come in two distinct flavors.
00:11 You'll have the 485 horsepower 392,
00:15 but then you have this, the Hellcat.
00:17 It's a supercharged 6.2 liter V8.
00:20 It's hemi at its best.
00:22 It's gonna make more than 600 horsepower,
00:25 more than 575 pound feet of torque.
00:28 What you have here in the pony car race
00:31 is one of the best big man sports cars that you can have.
00:33 It's just comfortable to sit in.
00:35 Four people can ride in it really well.
00:37 And there's a lot of really nice pluses.
00:39 Now with this new model year that's coming out,
00:42 they really cleaned up the whole interior
00:44 and it looks really nice.
00:45 That includes the Uconnect system,
00:47 which has an eight inch LCD screen
00:49 that you can go into SRT mode
00:51 and get all of this really cool information about the car.
00:54 You can do your zero to 60, your 60 to zero.
00:57 You can get lap times, all of that stuff
00:59 that somebody that's on a track really wants to have.
01:01 Add to that, you have a whole different front end
01:03 on this car compared to any of the other challengers.
01:05 There's a lot of really cool features on this car too.
01:07 When you look at this hood,
01:09 it's gonna be distinctive anytime this car's barreling down
01:11 in your rear view mirror.
01:12 You have a unique scoop here
01:14 and the heat extractors that are coming out there.
01:16 You also have 15.4 inch Brembo brakes
01:19 on the front of this car.
01:21 They are incredibly large
01:22 and the largest brakes Chrysler's ever put
01:24 on a production car.
01:25 You have unique wheels and the tires are by Pirelli.
01:28 Most of all, it's just gonna be really recognizable.
01:31 While Dodge hasn't let us drive this car yet,
01:34 a full review is coming.
01:35 And until then, just listen to it on the road.
01:38 It sounds awesome.
