About the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
The 2019
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat remains the quickest, fastest and most
powerful sedan in the world with the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI®
V-8 that delivers 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The
engine is mated to the quick-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed
automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted shift
paddles. New for 2019, the Charger SRT Hellcat features a new
performance grille with dual inlets that feed cooler, outside air
into the engine compartment. Bolstering the performance is the
addition of four race-inspired technologies that come standard on
Hellcat, including:
- Launch Assist, which uses wheel speed sensors to watch for
driveline-damaging wheel hop at launch and, in milliseconds,
modifies the engine torque to regain full grip
- Line Lock, which engages the
front brakes to hold the Charger SRT Hellcat stationary, but leaves
the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear
tires
- After-Run Chiller, which keeps cooling the supercharger/charge
air cooler after the engine is shut off
- Torque Reserve, which closes a bypass valve to prefill the
supercharger and manages fuel flow and spark advance to
balance engine rpm and torque, generates a reserve of torque that
is delivered upon acceleration from a standing stop
About Dodge//SRT
Dodge//SRT offers a complete lineup
of performance vehicles that stand out in their own segments. Dodge
is America's mainstream performance brand and SRT is positioned as
the ultimate performance halo of the Dodge brand, together creating
a complete and balanced performance brand with one vision and one
voice.
For more than 100 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the
spirit of brothers John and Horace
Dodge, who founded the brand in 1914. Their influence
continues today. New for 2019, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Redeye is possessed by the Demon. Its 797-horsepower supercharged
HEMI® high-output engine makes it the most powerful, quickest and
fastest muscle car, reaching 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.4
seconds, and the fastest GT production car with a ¼-mile elapsed
time (ET) of 10.8 seconds at 131 mph. It also reaches a new top
speed of 203 mph.
Joining the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the 2019 Dodge
Challenger SRT Hellcat, with its more powerful 717-horsepower
engine, and the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody, featuring fender
flares from the SRT Hellcat Widebody, which add 3.5 inches of width
to the 485-horsepower Scat Pack's standard body. Also new for 2019
is the Challenger R/T Scat Pak 1320 with exclusive drag strip
technology from the iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. The
Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is a drag-oriented, street-legal
muscle car and a blank canvas for the serious grassroots drag
racer. The 2019 Dodge Durango SRT, America's fastest, most powerful
and most capable three-row SUV with a best-in-class tow rating of
8,700 lbs., completes the brand's performance lineup. These
visceral performance models join a 2019 brand lineup that includes
the Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, Charger and Challenger — a
showroom that offers performance at every price point.
