2015 SRT Hellcat

http://www.stgautogroup.com/
   The Challenger made its fateful return to Dodge’s lineup in 2008 following decades of remaining dormant. For the 2015 model year, the Challenger received a makeover that included a set of taillights that hark back to the 1971 model year. Those fancy taillights are small potatoes when compared to the big news of 2015, the addition of the 700-plus-horsepower Challenger SRT Hellcat. With over 700 horsepower on tap and a price tag barely over $60k, Dodge appears on paper to have a winner on its hands with the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. But if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act quicker than this most powerful of muscle cars covers the quarter-mile. According to our compatriots over at Edmunds, Dodge may limit production – in the first year, at least – to just 1,200 units. That would amount to barely a quarter of the Challengers that Dodge moves each month, and would also mean only one Hellcat for every two Dodge dealers in the US - which could lead to some serious contention over which stores and which customers can get their hands on the ultimate Challenger. Needless to say, the Challenger Hellcat is the first product of the newly consolidated Dodge and SRT brands, a range-topping model that will sit above the already beefed up 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker that weve seen during the New York auto show last month. Dodge is offering no less than 11 exterior paint colors for the Challenger Hellcat, including the brand-new, high-impact B5 Blue and Sublime Green hues introduced on the regular models. Unfortunately, there’s no twin, full-body stripe option available on the Hellcat, being kept as an exclusive feature for the SRT 392.Even if Dodge plans to sell more Hellcats, they’ll likely only be available at certain dealers. The carmaker hasn’t figured 

which dealers will get the honor, but will reportedly make a decision sometime in the next few weeks.
