The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is more than just a muscle car. It's a beast that comes from hell. With its 6,2-liter supercharged V8, it performs incredibly 808 PS and 959 Nm torque. With this he accelerates 3,4 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and reaches a top speed of 327 clothes. But the Redeye is not only fast, it is also wide. Thanks to one installed at the factory Widebody package It has 3,5 inches (approx. 9 cm) more track width and wider tires than the normal Hellcat. This further improves road holding and cornering.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
The Redeye is the ultimate version of the Challenger SRT Hellcat, if you look at the over-vehicles Demon and SRT170 left out. It takes many parts from the Demon, the extreme dragster model that was only built in a limited edition. These include the largest standard compressor (2,7 liters), the SRT Power Chiller function (a system that cools the intake air with the air conditioning system), the Air catcher headlights (direct the additional air into the engine) and the Launch Control (which enables the optimal start). The Redeye also has a special one Logo with a red eye symbolizing the devilish nature.
What's popular about Redeye?
The Redeye is a car for enthusiasts who are looking for something special. It enables a driving experience that is second to none. It combines the classic look of a muscle car with modern technology and extreme performance. He is loud, aggressive and showy. It attracts everyone's attention and often makes the competition look old. It's a car for purists who don't want to make any compromises. As the following video shows, it is still far less effective than one BMW M5 CS. Although the Charger Hellcat Redeye can be seen in the video, the performance of the four-door variant is the same 808 PS identical. The crucial point is the Redeye's lack of all-wheel drive.
What should one pay attention to?
The Redeye is not a car for beginners or those new to driving. It requires a lot of skill and respect behind the wheel, especially because of the power and the lack of all-wheel drive. He is also very thirsty and consumes on average +22 liters per 100 kilometers. It also has very high maintenance costs and can only be obtained in Germany through importers. It's also not very comfortable or even practical for everyday use. It's a car for freaks who are willing to invest a lot of money and passion. Photo credit: Magnuson
