One thing first: The Dodge Challenger V8 is not just a car, it is a statement. A statement of performance, speed and classic Americana Muscle car feeling. And when speaking of the legend, one can't help but feel the respect the name commands in the automotive world. Let's start with perhaps the most important centerpiece of the Dodge Challenger: the engine. The srt hellcat represents the tip of the spear, so to speak. The model is made by one V8 Hemi engine powered by supercharging, which impresses with a displacement of 6.166 cm³. The machine produces an impressive 527 kW, which is the equivalent 707 SAE hp or 717 DIN HP. But that's not all: the engine power develops a powerful torque 880 Nm at 4000 rpm.

Another highlight? The power car has one front engine and drives them Rear wheels at. Pure power, straight onto the asphalt. But the Challenger also has other V8 versions (and V6) to offer. From the basic model to the top model, it covers a spectrum 272 hp up to 852 hp away. This is particularly fascinating Challenger SRT. This started years ago with “only” 431 hp. But over time, the engineers didn't hold back and increased the performance up to the current top model, the aforementioned Hellcat. Here you experience the twice-charged experience Hemi V8, the incredible one 717 PS and delivers 881 Nm of torque. Now you might think that this is the end of the line. Not even close! Dodge has that SRT Demon 170 presented, and this raises the bar again.

The Demon's 6,2L high-output supercharged HEMI engine delivers incredible performance 1025 PS, what around 1039 European horsepower corresponds. But the Dodge Challenger V8 is not just a performance machine. It represents an era in which cars were not just a means of transportation, but an expression of personality. Its massive hood, wide body and unmistakable design make you stop and marvel in awe. In summary it is Dodge Challenger V8 a car that is second to none. Whether as a collector's vehicle, a competitive athlete or simply as an expression of an attitude to life - it makes hearts beat faster. And as the world moves more and more towards electromobility, the V8 car will always be considered one the last real giants keep in remembrance.
