engine displacement is 6.2 liters, the devil of the supercharger world, the 717-horsepower gasoline engine monster, the exhaust sound bursts so hard that there are no friends, and the owner's neighbors will never have quiet days again. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody is so popular, just like the cowboy with cigarette butts in his mouth.
The title of this article is actually more appropriate to use "Bad Boys from Detroit": In the late 1980s, the Detroit Pistons in the NBA pioneered and implemented a game style that emphasized physical confrontation for some demand. The so-called certain demand refers to some legendary figures that need to be dealt with in 82 games of the regular season, such as Magic Johnson, Bird Bird and Jordan. In the playoffs, this demand is even more urgent. The "dirty" combination of Rick Mahon and Bill Ranbill used some particularly despicable "special skills" to defend the basket, forming an insurmountable barrier. It is no joke that if Ranbir, who is 2.11 meters tall, is placed on today's field, he will likely be suspended for 10 games in just one quarter. If you play again after 10 games, you will likely be on the bench for the rest of the season.
As an idiom enthusiast, I think the style of this Dodge car is exactly the same as the style of the Pistons back then! It is like a ferocious monster, which is very different from the current trend of the automotive world today. Of course, it is necessary to add a condition: next to the handle, there are several words "designed in Detroit" engraved, and the Dodge Charger is actually made in Canada. What about its heart, this 6.2-liter engine with displacement? Is it from Michigan like that V8? No, it is produced in Saltier, Mexico.
When Pirelli encounters a small logistics problem, everyone will definitely think that Charger's car owner has committed "smoking addiction". Yes, this big guy does like to smoke, so that it makes some people even enjoy it, which can be said to be a bit "addiction". But I still have to murmur in a low voice, Marlboro cigarettes were launched on the market long before they became a symbol of cowboys. Although 1930 has passed a long time ago, are you still wondering why it was originally a women's cigarette? ——Because it has a filter!
Since the engine of the Charger SRT uses intake duct injection, there are no carbon particles that need to be filtered in the exhaust, it can "almost" use its large rear tail tube without scrutiny. It is said "almost" because Dodge's official importer AEC installed the vehicle with the emission equipment required for the road permit as soon as it arrived at the port of Antwerp. The license issued by Austria TÜV is in the glove box, and the X-Pipe exhaust and absorption silencer device is also registered on the vehicle license.
force value is filled with
0 Next to the battery under the luggage compartment is an exhaust system control unit produced by a company called Grail from Rheinbrunn, Germany, which is responsible for opening and closing the exhaust arc flap. This V8 engine is quite rough and even bloody even during the cold start stage. This model can be remotely controlled by double-clicking the "Remote Start" button on the key. You can imagine the following scene: Charger first makes a huge roar, and the crowds nearby will inevitably be shocked by the monster, and then exclaim with surprise!
Although AEC says that good arc-flap valve control is possible to make the Charger's cold start sound more acceptable, no matter what, this Dodge cannot be considered a low-key and non-disturbing model. I personally experimented with the actual situation. Unfortunately, I was really suffering before returning the car. You really have to choose the time to move the car, otherwise your neighbors will definitely come to talk to you. Of course, car enthusiasts will show great interest, and almost all of them will express the same argument: they dare to do anything incredible in order to attract attention and entertain the public.
This point has also been deeply rooted in corporate culture. I wonder if you know, what is S54 B32HP, EA888 or MA1/75? They are the engine models used by the BMW M3 CSL (E46), Volkswagen Golf GTI and Porsche 911 GT3.In contrast, American car companies use LS to name it. For example, Ford's transmission cabin is equipped with Voodoo, Coyote, Apache, Predator or Aluminator. Where is the Dodge? It is more unique. In addition to using names like FirePower or Magnum, the Hemi engine is more commonly used. The engine equipped with the 717-horsepower performance monster in the picture is called Hemi Hellcat. Demon (Demon, 851 horsepower) or Hellephant (1000 horsepower) depending on the performance level. Hellcat, demon, hell icon. Wait, what are the German engines just now?
No matter from which perspective, Americans seem to be showing us what is truly "free and easy". In the overwhelming media publicity, we can all see how the Dodge SRT (Road & Racing Technology) rolls over multiple streets and how it becomes a tire killer when it comes to straights. Even in a Charger SRT Hellcat wide-body advertisement, they deliberately leaked some data such as wheel hub width, tire size, curve adhesion and speed index as additional information. In addition, there are also brake disc size and wide body body fender width (add 9 cm). The effect of this kind of advertising is that no one will sit in his 470-horsepower Charger-R/T and think: God, should I buy Passat? Another one comes from the Dodge dealer: There are two policemen, one of whom is an animation-generated monkey, who rudely handcuffs a car owner because he eats French bread in Charger. For Dodge, eating gracefully in Charger is unacceptable! Only junk food meets its identity! The monkey police completely ignored the owner's defense and left a sentence: "Go and explain to the judge!"
American advertising is not only full of humor, but also in terms of using "big, the better" to the extreme pervert, the whole world can only look at it. For the sake of the US market, the Germans chose to follow up and went further and further on this "perverted" road. I often hear a car set a new record of crazy New North Lap Speed, a car manufacturer has built a sedan with more than 600 horsepower, and so on. This Charger Hellcat takes this phenomenon to the extreme: it is better to have Bill Ranbir's dirtyness, rather than the elegant French bread.
BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 both provide a setting that can disconnect the driving force of the front axle when the rear tire is required to start. Dodge completely ignores the life and death of the rear tire, always maintains rear-wheel drive, and even has the possibility of burning the tires even when the traction control system is fully turned on. Like Mustang, it also comes with a control software, but the effect is to apply brakes only to the front wheels. Dodge calls it "Line Lock". Its usage process is: press the brake pedal, press and hold the "OK" button on the steering wheel, and give oil. When you feel that the tire burns enough and the smoke emitted by the tire rubs against the ground is enough, release the "OK" button. At this time, what you need to do is to hold your steering wheel firmly and don't let it take off the reins, otherwise, you may soon become a member of the Hellcat accident collection on the video website.
I have to say I'm sorry
Since I got the car and started the test drive, there has been no shortage of night scene photos, and those night scene photos emitting thick smoke also prove this. When far away from residential areas, the engine roars never stops: the exhaust sound is set to high volume through the cruise button, roll the window down a little, and when the car reaches the bottom of the cliff, you will experience the ultimate experience next! Of course, here I have to apologize to the little animals living on the roadside. The heavy metal sound effects of the V8 engine, the thunderous exhaust sounds and the devilish roar of the supercharger may make these little animals think that the end of the world is approaching.
Its curve shows surprisingly good. Of course, it won't be as sporty as the AMG E63 S, but the Beston adaptive shock absorber won't make you feel like you're sitting on the sofa either. The main feedback to the steering wheel is road information and a little load information. However, when you turn the steering wheel, the feedback is very timely and never delay.The 4 tires are all 305/35 ZR20, and there are 4 tires! Before leaving the factory, it can only use other tires because these thick and large wheels cannot match the assembly line width.
This set of ultra-wide tires has very strong grip and rarely have understeering problems during driving. On the contrary, due to the strong rear drive force, excessive steering can occur almost at any time. Fortunately, its wheelbase is as long as 3.05 meters, which is the same as the height of the basketball basket, so there is enough reaction time when the tail is flicked. Even if the V8 engine is in the low speed range, the power output is completely undelayed, just like an electric motor. The output ratio of the accelerator pedal when going out of the corner is so delicate, just like what we want.
front air intake grille and fenders can definitely serve as a warning because they form the demonic mask of this ultra-efficient supercharged engine. When you see the smoke slowly rising behind the rearview mirror in the car, it is the best time to release the brakes, and this demon mask will definitely make you super satisfying. Additionally, the Hellcat can instantly fill your cab with smoke, which should be expected when you see its torque output parameters.
We went to the Hoganheim track, which is known as the tomb of tires, and they all turned into smoke and clouds drifting in the air with the wind! However, from another perspective, it is not that bad. The Brembo brake system works diligently, but the boiling point of the original DOT3 brake fluid infused by the factory is too low, which affects the brake performance. According to the instructions of the user manual, if it is on the track, the DOT4 brake fluid should be replaced. In fact, almost all small passenger cars in Germany use DOT4 brake fluid.
American muscle car sentiment
Let’s take a look at something practical: can it really run to the extreme speed of 322 km/h like the one written in the vehicle license? I think it's really OK. I scattered a lot on an open highway section. Except for the slightly shaking of the steering wheel, it was quite easy to run to a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Where is the climbing hill? You have to use the red key, otherwise you will be blocked in 500 horsepower mode. Using 717 horsepower to go from 100 to 200 kilometers per hour, it takes 8.6 seconds, which is similar to the time required for the AMG E63 S, Audi RS 6 and Alpina B5 with a power range of 600 to 612 horsepower. The weight of these competitors is not lighter than it, and some even exceed its weight.
Dodge's extra 100 horsepower does not seem to have any effect, it should be due to the structural design of the model, which requires higher power. At least in our database, the 2016 Barbos Rocket 900 (basic S-class, 900 horsepower-V12) takes 7.7 seconds, and it is not much faster. The super sports car McLaren 720S only takes 4.6 seconds!
is competing with four-wheel drive coupes, and Charger has no chance, which is basically foreseeable. But it doesn't matter. Originally, this muscle car was not used to rely on zero-hundred acceleration values to create a tragic traction scene. Feelings and experiences are far higher than those cold numbers. How much entertainment components are mixed with its book data? This V8 engine uses 80 horsepower to drive the supercharger provided by the US IHI through a belt at 6000 rpm. This is a bit of a bit for the 6.2-liter engine, but there is still a lot of room for improvement for the CTC (Chrysler Technology Center) testing session. It seems that the combination of air intake and output power of this V8 engine is not optimal. Until the replacement, the SRT team only tested the Hellcat Hemi engine with a maximum of 600 horsepower.
In addition to these fascinating numbers and motivational escapes, life is still the same. As long as you drive gently when closing the exhaust arc flap, this V8 will basically not exceed 1,500 rpm on urban roads. It is really a technical job to keep it elegant in a noisy environment, because whether to hide or reveal a ferocious face is between 2 or 3 mm of the accelerator pedal. If it exceeds a little, the eight-cylinder engine like a subwoofer and the clattering sound similar to the Harley motorcycle will immediately become the focus of attention. If you step on 2 mm deeper, the party of illegal modified vehicles that are in full swing will be dispersed by the police who are coming.
Go back to the Pistons mentioned at the beginning. When the referee's whistle sounds, no matter how good you are, the game will end.What should I do? It's impossible to play in a city that is rule-abiding. Go to the unseen unsurveilled camera and spread some wild things. Let Bill Ranbill out in your body. You are the bad boy who takes off his disguise!
