This Is The Challenger Hellcat’s Big Brother – The Hellcat Redeye

No, it hasn’t got streaming hayfever or an eye infection, it’s got 797bhp and a quarter mile time of 11.1 seconds. What you see above is Dodge’s new Challenger Hellcat, the Redeye. And while the name isn’t quite right, the performance figures make up for it.

It’s not quite as fast as the acclaimed Demon, but adds another 90 horses on top of the original Hellcat and boasts a metal-bendig torque figure of 707lb ft. That’s 57lb ft up compared to the original model and without the widebody option ticked (seen in the photos above) it will hit the quarter mile a tenth faster than the standard car. The widebody version is a tad slower but makes up for it in its damn good looks and intimidating stance.

It will also breach the 200mph wall by another 3mph and will reach 60mph in just 3.4 seconds.

So far so good then, but does the fact that it can only come with an auto put you off? I doubt it, but let me know in the comments below.

Alex started racing at a young age so certainly knows his way around a car and a track. He can just about put a sentence together too, which helps. He has a great interest in the latest models, but would throw all of his money at a rusty old French classic and a 300ZX. Contact: [email protected]
