MotorWeek | Road Test: 2015 Charger/Challenger Hellcat

Ride with us to Hades and back in the awesome Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats.

7 years later and both cars are still 🔥 beasts, still iconic. I love the power, room, and overall profile.

[stevend]

I actually like the old school methods of testing the cars. The zig zagging tests, the emergency maneuvers, the braking zone by the cones and someone runs out with a measuring wheel, ...Outdated? Yes. But much more entertaining, .

Dealer wanted $10, 000 over cost for the Hellcat as I drove their in my minivan. A few days later, I returned in my 2012 GTR and suddenly they wanted they wanted to negotiate. After owning about a dozen sports cars over 3 decades, the car buying experience remains similar to a root canal....Painful, but you gotta do it.

I like how this guy has been doing these car reviews for about 40 years now

[paulcondie]

How can you not love the hellcats? I don't care what anyone says 707hp in anything is impressive especially with a warranty! Lol

[DUNEATV]

Oh, John Davis...you are awesome sir!

[onenikkione]

and the bar once again has been raised with the Demon

[AWDfreak]

Watching this video two years later, and I have a stupid grin on my face watching them slide those Hellcats on the road course!

[DevPack]

These guys are having wayyy to much fun driving these lol

If the Challenger weighed 3500 lbs it would be a certified LAMBO killer

" ... here kitty kitty" LOL - you are the best John

I have a 2012 Charger RT which I love. The styling of the front is far better that the newer model Chargers. Mine doesn’t have that stupid looking spoiler either.

[TheSuperMotoHooligan]

One for Saturday. One for Sunday... Commute to work by bicycle rest of the week..

[Accrd]

My question is....WHY the hell would you even need the black key? ROFL You bought the hellcat for 700hp, not 500!

[aaron.hudacky]

I love the 700 hp part but like the fact the block is cast iron even more.  These are amazing cars... unless FCA figures out a way to boost production, I think they will be hard to come by for MSRP for quite a while.  Dealers are already not to accept further new orders until August 2015.  

[GalvatronTypeR]

I understand the need for the black key but who would let anyone valet their car? I have a pretty decent very fast car and there is NO WAY I would let some guy wearing a clip on tie and felt vest take possession of my ride.

[iamnrz]

Walked into my local Dodge with $55, 000 in cash, said I wanted a black challenger hellcat with black rims and a moonroof and it was the easiest car buying I've ever done.

[leonlawrencez]

Why does motor week get such slower times than any other car review?

[Hots]

challenger looks like a real car

charger looks like a corporate robot
