There are automotive predators on the roads, just like there are feline ones in the wild. One such automotive predator is a car that needs no introductions, for it is built by a company that is a household name in the US of A. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a ferocious car that you don’t want to try and outrun unless you are in some serious exotica that packs ample power and torque. Introduced in 2014, it has grown into such demand that Hellcat is a moniker that gets gearheads’ hearts racing at the mere mention of it. Our subject vehicle is a garaged 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat from Florida, on sale by the original owner with just 23,800 miles on the clock. This is no ordinary Hellcat as it has been serviced, tuned, and upgraded by Gearhead Fabrications, with paperwork and receipts available for inspection.

Exterior and Interior

What makes a predator of the roads all the more menacing? Something like this 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat when it’s dressed in a Pitch-Black exterior and is barreling towards you on a set of Rohana 10-spoke 20” wheels in silver with lime green brake calipers lurking behind. The basic Dodge Charger itself looks menacing, so you can see how this Hellcat dials things up to eleven, and beyond. The interior features a Black Laguna leather interior with Hellcat logos, perfectly matching the color scheme of the body. The Customer Preferred package 23T includes full floor mats with a 19-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. It’s also got front and rear heated seats and dual-zone climate control. When a car has both ‘SRT’ and ‘Launch’ buttons on the center console, you know it’s serious!

Engine

Powering this 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 which puts out 707hp and 650 lb ft of torque. The Hellcat is claimed to be among the fastest factory four-door sedans ever produced, with a top speed of 199mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.
