It also gets bigger brakes, wheels and tires along with the same two-key system Dodge uses for Challenger Hellcat to restrict vehicle performance or offer the engine’s complete brute force. Unlike the Challenger, Dodge will sell its new super sedan exclusively with its new eight-speed automatic transmission. Dodge also said today that the Charger is capable of an NHRA certified 11-second quarter mile sprint as well as a 0-100 MPH sprint in “under 13 seconds.”
Dodge still hasn’t said what it plans to charge for the Hellcat-powered model, but Dodge and SRT boss Tim Kuniskis told Automotive News that the company doesn’t plan to limit production.

For a car with that much giddyup, it's disappointing that the styling isn't more aggressive...
I can't believe they would put this HP in a 4 door. Where's the 2 door coupe Charger Hellcat??? So are we to install the car seats in the back, load up the kids and go burn some rubber????? Guess I will stick with my 67 Charger for many more years. If I want a 4 door again, gonna be something smaller or my truck. What a shame doing a 4 door. Shame on the designer.
