Επίσημο: Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, το δυνατότερο και γρηγορότερο sedan του κόσμου

Η Dodge παρουσίασε πριν από λίγα λεπτά το Charger SRT Hellcat, το δυνατότερο και ταχύτερο sedan που έχει κατασκευαστεί ever!

Ο λόγος είναι απλός και βρίσκεται κάτω από το τεράστιο καπό του. Αυτός δεν είναι άλλος από τον κομπρεσοράτο V8 6,2-λίτρων κινητήρα απόδοσης 717 ίππων (527 kW) και 880 Nm ροπής, που είδαμε και στο Challenger SRT Hellcat. Η εξωπραγματική αυτή δύναμη να περνάει

Οι αλλαγές, εκτός από τον εδωφρενικό κινητήρα, συνεχίζονται και στιλιστικά, όπου υπάρχει μια νέα πιο επιθετική μάσκα, ενώ το αυτοκίνητο διαθέτει και LED φώτα. Το αλουμινένιο καπό έχει αποκτήσει μια μεγάλη εισαγωγή αέρα ψυχρού τύπου, ενώ διαθέτει και οπές για απαγωγή της θερμότητας. Νέοι είναι οι προφυλακτήρες εμπρός και πίσω, έχει τοποθετηθεί αεροτομή, η εξάτμιση διαθέτει διπλές απολήξεις, ενώ πατάει σε νέες 20άρες ζάντες με ελαστικά της Pirelli. Στο εσωτερικό υπάρχει νέο τιμόνι με flat κάτω μέρος, θερμαινόμενα και αεριζόμενα καθίσματα ντυμένα με δέρμα Nappa και αλκαντάρα, ψηφιακός πίνανας οργάνων, ηχοσύστημα της Harmon Kardon με 18 ηχεία και το σύστημα Uconnect με οθόνη 8,4 ιντσών.

To Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει στις αρχές του επόμενου έτους, με τιμή που δεν έχει ανακοινωθεί ακόμα.

This new Hellcat engine is Dodge and SRT’s first application of V-8 supercharger technology, featuring a forged-steel crankshaft with induction-hardened bearing surfaces. The result is a crank so well-engineered it can withstand firing pressures of 110 bar (1,595 psi) – the equivalent of five family sedans standing on each piston, every two revolutions. And its unique, specially tuned crank damper has been tested to 13,000 rpm.
