2015 Challenger SRT to have 707Hp/527Kw with 881Nm

[buggo]

These numbers are crazy. Makes the LSA GTS and GT look like toys. It has more power than an Aventador.

Will be interesting to see what times it can put down and how it'll compare to the locals. And whether the engine(via 300C) / car will ever end up in Oz.

Stunning car

Do want.

Power to weight. So much weight needs so much power.

On the flip side, anyone believing Ford weren't interested yet in topping the engine from the Trinity program are in for a shock.

Hellcat, Hell yes!!!

Hmmm not bad, would the black key fob ever see the lightof day : ) ??? I wonder how much they will be asking for this beast ?

[chopstar87]

its will be around 60-70k I reckon in the states, any higher and it wont sell... as GT500 around 55-60k drive away.

Its a beast for sure... I don't think we will see this beast, but the next gen which will hopefully be designed RHD. 520kw / 881Nm Supercharged V8 muscle car from Factory... yes please!

the "detuned black key" has 500hp... lol!

I would say mid to low 3s to 60mph. considering the GT500 will bang out mid 3s in a manual. where this can be fitted with either 6 speed manual or 8speed auto.

but if they bring this here.. very good chance I will get one, IF the pricing is right.

The GM fanboi's are out

A near 4300 lb car with 700+hp. Not sure but I would guess this will end up like the 660+hp Shelby and be less than impressive in performance overall. Z28 will destroy it on any road course and the 650hp ZO6 likely anywhere else for similar money. Not sure I get it, cool idea but geeze how about a lighter vehicle to start versus burning off all those extra ponies to lug that boat anchor around?

I understand Ford had concerns with reliability - but gee !!! If Jaguar can deliver 404kw with their 5.0 Lt Supercharged Eight with some 600+ torque , why couldnt Ford deliver / provide the same numbers .. It shouldn't be that hard to deliver porn numbers for the GT ... So I still unsure why they chose not to deliver those big numbers .. Had they , add emotion/passion for the brand , and those magic porn numbers and Ford could have written their ticket to success..

Oh Ford can definitely achieve those numbers. Whipple already has a planned 700HP kit for the 2015 Mustang GT. Ford could do the same if it wanted to. Don't forget about the upcoming Voodoo V8 for the GT350 or GT500. Plus I think Dodge has announced the race is on with the Hellcat. So Ford knows it can't bring out a GT500 that doesn't beat it.

[CoupeKing]

Thing looks epic. From just about every angle I can see its Grandpa.

[Grunter]

That would just about do me if in a Grand Cherokee (looking at you SRT).

You just may get that wish...
I've heard of them possibly putting it into the upcoming Wagoneer.

[MercuryT]

Wow.

Love it.

Even wish I was American for a fleeting moment considering the cars they have available, and so cheap comparatively.

Muscle car wars are on.....

The current GT500 still makes more torque than the Hellcat, a dyno confirmed 800Nm at the wheels (over 900Nm @ the crank)

And when you consider they weigh over 2 tonne, the 2013 Shelby also has a better power to weight ratio too !

[FPV8U]

An absolute beast, this engine in the Full SRT Spec 300 Sedan with a ZF 8 Speed would have been something else.

Torque doesn't work the same on a dyno. 800 would be the actual engine number as estimated by the dyno.

[MrZ]

Yikes... 527 kW is a lot of power for a Mitsubishi 4WD.

Did you watch the video?...

The guy even said torque is under-rated by as much as 40Nm so that means it's pumping out at least 896Nm at the engine.
