Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The 2024 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody elevates American muscle car engineering to new heights, building on its predecessor's legacy with critical refinements. At its core lies the hand-built 6.2L Supercharged HEMI® V8, now producing 717 horsepower and 881 Nm of torque – figures unchanged from 2023 but now paired with a recalibrated 8-speed HP90 automatic transmission for smoother shifts. The most noticeable upgrade is the standard Widebody kit, increasing track width by 3.5 inches compared to the narrower 2023 model, complemented by 20x11-inch Carbon Black aluminum wheels wrapped in 305/3...5ZR20 Pirelli performance tires for enhanced cornering stability. The suspension receives SRT-tuned adaptive dampers with three drive modes (Street, Sport, Track), a significant improvement over the previous model's fixed-rate setup. Inside, the 2024 variant introduces Demonic Red seat belts and dark engine-turned interior accents, replacing the 2023's monochromatic scheme. The tech suite now includes a wireless charging pad and upgraded 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio – both absent in earlier models. Safety sees major updates with standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Path Detection, addressing a notable omission in prior Hellcats. Externally, the 2024 model features revised front fascia ducting improving brake cooling by 15% during track use, while the rear sports a new spoiler design generating 200 lbs of downforce at 150 mph. Despite these upgrades, fuel efficiency remains at 8.5 km/L (20 MPG highway), identical to the 2023 model. The signature dual-snout hood now incorporates functional heat extractors, and the exhaust system features active valves that produce a 126 dB roar at full throttle – 7% louder than before. With only 515 km (320 miles) from new, this London-based example presents in showroom condition, retaining its full factory warranty and including the rare Plus Package with power sunroof and heated Alcantara steering wheel.show more
