The Dodge Challenger is a historic nameplate from American automaker Dodge, but many will remember it in the form of the current generation. The current-generation Challenger, also known as the third generation, is one of the last old-school muscle cars that you can buy. While there's a V6 for cruising, you'll also find 700-horsepower monsters like this 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat that's up for grabs right now. If 700 horsepower in a potential family car tickles your fancy, this 22,600-mile example should be your next purchase. Let's discover more.

Exterior and Interior

This 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat sports a Pitch Black paint job from the factory, but you won't notice at first glance since the car is wrapped in carbon. What you will notice, however, are its sinister looks, black alloy wheels, red brake calipers, vented hood, and trunk lid lip spoiler. You'll also notice its length, which goes towards making it a practical family car, as we shall tell you shortly. Inside, there's a black interior that's practical for the family because the Challenger is one of those muscle cars that can actually fit adults in the rear seats. In fact, rear seat occupants receive a center armrest as well. Meanwhile, the front seats are heated and ventilated Laguna leather SRT units, and the driver grips a heated steering wheel with paddle shifters. There's also plenty of safety kit, including blind spot monitoring, all-speed traction control, electronic stability control, and rear cross-path detection. Dual-zone climate control is present, as is a Harman/Kardon GreenEdge amplifier, driving no less than 18 speakers, inclusive of 2 subwoofers. Behind the passenger cabin lies an amply spacious trunk that can hold enough luggage for a family trip. You can even split-fold the rear seats for added versatility when required. You can even fire up the V8 from outside with the remote start feature, further wowing onlookers.

Engine

With all that practicality, comfort, and tech, you would be forgiven for thinking that this car is sedate. It's not. Under the hood of this 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat lies a monstrous 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 Hellcat engine that can deliver 707hp and 650lb-ft to the rear wheels via a TorqueFlite HP90 8-speed automatic transmission. There's a 2.62 axle ratio, a performance shift indicator, and the SRT Hellcat Supercharged HEMI Package 26R. It's not just outright performance that's eye-popping, though. Thanks to SRT-tuned Bilstein 3-mode competitive suspension and Brembo 6-piston high-performance brakes with ABS; this car can thrill on the track too.
