It is almost at its highest speed.
The performance cars from Dodge are praised for being mainstream models that have supercar-level horsepower. While the Charger receives a lot of attention, the Challenger deserves a lot more. It’s not a weak vehicle. The Charger is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that produces 707 horsepower (527kilowatts). The video below shows that it can reach dizzying speeds when driving on the German Autobahn.
Although the video is short, it shows more than just the speedometer ticking up. The video features a lot of engine revving, tire smoke, and the loud whine of the supercharger against the V8’s brutish American growl. 707-hp V8 generates 650 pound-feet (882 Newton meters) of torque. All of this is channeled to rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The video shows the Charger’s power at 717 horsepower (534 kW). The sedan is still very fast.
These high-speed runs are impressive. The sedan can travel 160 miles per hour (or 258 km per hour) in the first run. Although the Charger didn’t achieve as much speed, it still managed to reach 148 mph (239 km/h). Although the Charger managed to reach 185 mph (299 km/h), the last run was the most impressive. It still managed to beat the car’s top speed, which is 195 mph (313 km/h). This is a remarkable feat for a stylish family car. However, Dodge has made it possible to expand the Charger’s range with dozens of models.
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, a native American beast with a snarling attitude and zero manners is an American-bred brute. However, such speeds are not possible on American roads. There are roads like Autobahn, but such high-speed driving must be done cautiously and limited to racetracks.
