Even if you do not belong to the muscle car fan club, you also know the meaning of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye. You will start with the standard 717-horsepower SRT Hellcat and its supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Then, add another 80 horsepower. result? You can buy the most powerful production car for less than $100,000.
With 707 pound-feet of torque, this American-powered madman example can break a hundred in 3.4 seconds. Fortunately, the engineering team thought of this. Despite a lot of distress, Challenger Hellcat Redeye provides you with many tools that can make this feature easier to use than when you look at a car on paper.
I will freely admit: So far, my only "Hellcat" experience is the four-wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, I am hesitant to actually drive the Hellcat Redeye. Its rear-wheel drive is not only 43 horsepower less than the limited-travel SRT Demon centered on the resistance bar, but it is also not cheap. After matching, our Challenger sells for $ 92,445. I repeatedly think: "A wrong move, I will fall into a painful world."
is like this, until I really drive.
We promoted our Tesla Model Y to Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye. It must have the courage to win, right?
It is true that the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 still has 760 horsepower. Not far from the "Challenger" Hellcat "Red Eye", but there is a key difference. Ford spent five years in the past S550 era, refining the Mustang into a real sports car. With independent rear suspension, clever dual-clutch automatic transmission and mature concepts for agility and lightness, this is more technical than what we have to deal with here.
That is why I was worried about the challenger at first. Please note that all functions depend on an old platform. This is a muscle car that runs all the way. Although it is great on the towing belt, if you turn on the tap on a public road, you might expect a big battle. But you will be wrong.
After turning on the steering wheel for a while, I went from tapping the accelerator pedal to opening the pedal and laughing out loud like when I started the Trackhawk. Only this time, it feels more like a moving rocket.
Despite all the thunderous anger lurking under that bulging hood, the driving frenzy of the Challenger Hellcat Redeye is endless. Thanks to the excellent on-board stability control system (as long as you stay in the street mode, you are crazy), even if you try to wander around as far as possible, all 797 horsepower can be used amazingly.
has a hood of nearly 800 horsepower, and there are not many cars that can keep up with the Challenger Hellcat Redeye at this price point.
Don’t worry, you can still embarrass all other vehicles on the road.
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye proves the expression of absolute power. accurate. Even with the traction control system activated, I spin backwards from the first, second and third gears at half-throttle speed. However, the force of violence is so great that you almost dared to drive away before almost any other vehicle on the road could not react.
Once the 305-width Pirelli P Zero tires are full of anger, the challenger Hellcat Redeye becomes a powerful beast. The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is definitely the biggest equipment. It is also equipped with Line Lock, launch control, rear cooler and six-piston Brembo brakes as standard equipment. Redeye Widebody is a $17,600Upgraded and added a higher 220 mph speedometer, a "Power Chiller" (power cooler) to further prevent hot soak, Pirello P Zero performance tires and competition suspension.
Comfort: soft and comfortable
Even with the power of a volcanic eruption, the Challenger will not put pressure on the belt like some high-strength performance cars. It is still a large and comfortable American cruiser with luxurious leather seats and comfortable riding environment. Keep all settings in the "street" mode, you can set it through the SRT performance page as shown below, and the challenger can work normally as a long-range cruiser. Adaptive suspension is the standard configuration of all versions of Hellcat (including Redeye).
The 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye still offers many biological comforts, including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated front seats .
heated "houndstooth" cloth seats are standard, while the Laguna leather seat in our test car is $1,795. The upgraded kit, priced at $2,095, adds ventilated seats, high-end stitched instrument panels and door panels, and a power-adjustable steering column. Other comfort upgrades include the $1,795 Harman Kardon Audio Group, which adds an 18-speaker stereo system; a $1,295 driver convenience group that adds blind spot detection, HID headlights and power folding rearview mirrors; $1,595 carbon fiber and Suede interior bag; and Uconnect 4C navigation kit worth US$795. The total price of the "Warp Speed" granite wheels has increased by $1,295, and the SRT performance spoiler on the suitcase has increased by another $995.
Conclusion: Even with flaws, a very interesting muscle car
is difficult to maintain 797 horsepower. Shaking state. This car was highly praised by all our employees and other drivers on the road. It's hard to criticize the Redeye for its comfort, ease of use and sinister style, but the car does have some obvious shortcomings. The price of
is naturally a key point, because US$92,445 is a big requirement for challengers. In other words, we are talking about one of the most powerful production car eras, not to mention spending so much money. However, compared to the standard Hellcat, this is still a lot of money, and its price is more than twice the power you really need in the real world: the 485-horsepower Challenger R/T Scat Pack.
weighs 4,492 pounds, which is nearly 300 pounds heavier than Shelby GT500 and 500 pounds heavier than Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It has an aging platform and heavy 57/43 weight distribution, so it is not a well-balanced sports car.
