2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

«Адский котик», который сделает Вас первым в любой уличной гонке. Компания Chrysler наконец-то открыла данные касательно самой мощной «восьмерки», устанавливаемой под капотом нового Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

Компания крайслер предлагает, возможно мощнейший мускул кар в истории. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – дикий хищник, которому нужен укротитель с плеткой. Внешность мускул кара практически не изменилась, если сравнивать с Dodge Challenger SRT8 392: грубые и прямоугольные формы кузова, массивная «губа» сплиттера и шильдик «SRT». Мускул кар получил новый капот черного цвета, с дополнительным воздухозаборником и вентиляционными отверстиями, расположенными по бокам. Вокруг фар были установлены новые светодиодные кольца дневного света. Сбоку, наиболее приметными являются 20 – дюймовые многоспицевые диски, получившие матово-черный окрас, а также крышка бензобака. «Кормовая» часть кузова представлена массивным спойлером, строгими прямоугольными фарами, напоминающими Challenger 70-х годов, массивным «монолитным» бампером и рок – дуэтом выхлопных труб.

Интерьер автомобиля выполнен так, чтобы в нем было комфортно и уютно передвигаться. Мягкие кресла, отделанные кожей и алькантарой, с развитой боковой поддержкой, красивая белая строчка, алюминиевые ободки и несколько удобных кармашков для мелочи. Также тут имеется большой и яркий дисплей развлекательной системы UConnect. Не менее яркой, с ярко красной подсветкой, выглядит приборная панель, позади удобного «мясистого» рулевого колеса. Рычаг КПП также имеет свой, оригинальный дизайн.

В моторном отсеке спрятано самое настоящее сокровище – чугунный 6,2 – литровый двигатель V8 Hellcat, выдающий феноменальные 707 л.с. мощности и астрономические 880 Нм крутящего момента. Такие показатели позволяют заткнуть за пояс конкурирующие Mustang GT500 и Camaro ZL1, а некоторые из суперкаров будут чувствовать себя «неловко». Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat обгоняет по силовым характеристикам Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren 650S и Ferrari 458 Speciale. При этом мускулистый «мастодонт» разгоняется до сотни за 3,7 секунд, что просто превосходно учитывая его двухтонный вес. Стоит лишь прикоснуться к педали газа, как ваша дорогостоящая резина начнет яро стираться об асфальт. Работает двигатель в паре с отлично сбалансированным 8 – ступенчатым автоматом. Dodge использует два основных режима езды: Sport и Track. Они позволяют менять скорость переключения передач, степень рулевого усилия, работу антипробуксовочной системы и работу подвески. Отметим, что все основные элементы двигателя и агрегатных узлов выполнены из жестокой кованой легированной стали и алюминиевого сплава, гарантируя безотказную работу на пике возможного.

Еще одним самым большим преимуществом мускул кара станет его цена в 60 000 USD, что немного ниже цены конкурентов и в разы меньше цен эксклюзивных европейских аналогов.

Фронтмен Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – новая, зарождающаяся легенда среди мускул каров современности.

Chrysler, Dodge, Mitsubishi › Купе Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat оказалось мощнее обещанного

Купе Dodge Challenger 2015 модельного года и Challenger SRT, в том числе самая мощная версия Hellcat, поступят к дилерам в третьем квартале 2014-го.

Последние новости от Крайслера хочется начать именно с этой: американцы обнародовали окончательные характеристики нового мотора 6.2 Hemi V8 Hellcat, устанавливаемого на Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Ранее на презентации купе его создатели уклончиво заявляли, что перед нами самый мощный серийный мотор Крайслера в истории и что якобы развивает он более 600 л.с. На днях раскрыли точные цифры: наиболее производительный агрегат Hemi (тюнинг не в счёт, речь именно о продукции с конвейера) выдаёт 717 л.с. и 881 Н•м.

Для сравнения, у топового Мустанга (в уходящем уже поколении) на серийной версии Shelby GT500 — 671 л.с. и 856 Н•м, а у Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — 580 сил и 754 ньютон-метров.

Адская кошка — 1:30 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat уже традиционно отличается невероятной мощностью в 707 лошадей при 890Нм крутящего момента! Такие показатели обеспечивает 6,2-литровый, V-образный, 8-цилиндровый двигатель с механическим типом нагнетателя. Компанию уникальному двигателю HEMI V8 составит 8-ми ступенчатая АКПП, либо 6-ти ступенчатая МКПП. При всем этом богатстве на испытаниях двигатель выдержал нагрузку в 13000 об/мин, что является абсолютным рекордом даже для форсированных моторов спорткаров. Кроме высокой мощности Challenger SRT Hellcat имеет более увеличенный аэродинамический обвес, который позволяет любителям дрэг-рейсинга установить широкие катки. Да, это купе предназначено не для слабаков, и тормозные диски Брембо диаметром 390 мм с 6-ю поршнями в суппортах тому подтверждение. Разгон до ближайшей сотни займет каких-то 3,7 секунды, при этом ограниченная электронным управлением максимальная скорость составляет 320 км/ч. Кушает «адская кошка» по 20 литров 98-го бензина каждые 100 км своего пробега. С таким расчетом 60-ти литрового бака хватит на 315 км. <h2>Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat ( 2015 )</h2> <h2>Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</h2> The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT, with its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI. Hellcat engine, produces an unprecedented 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful Challenger ever, Dodge’s most powerful V-8 ever and the most powerful muscle car ever. Driven by the five SRT performance hallmarks, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT and Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine are re-designed and totally re-engineered to be the most true-to-form muscle coupes on the market with performance-enhancing technologies inside and out. The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will feature the most powerful V-8 engine ever produced by Chrysler Group – the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8. “The new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the ultimate performance muscle car,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO – Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Dodge is the Mainstream Performance brand, and now combined with SRT, we are able to unleash a true GT car with an all-new driver-focused interior and the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission combined with the most powerful V-8 Chrysler has ever produced. The Challenger Hellcat has been released!” The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT coupes will be built at the Brampton (Ont.) Assembly plant. Production is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2014. Awe-inspiring powertrains For 2015, the Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine is propelled by the new supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8. Its 600-plus horsepower rating will be the highest of any V-8 engine in Chrysler Group’s celebrated history. The all-new V-8 engine can be mated with an upgraded six-speed manual transmission or a beefy, new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic – the first such gearbox ever offered in the Dodge Challenger SRT’s time-honored segment. <h3>2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</h3> This new HEMI® Hellcat engine is Dodge and SRT’s first application of V-8 supercharger technology, delivering the full brand experience with fresh potency. The breakthrough supercharged engine features a forged-steel crankshaft with induction-hardened bearing surfaces. The result is a crank so well-engineered it can withstand firing pressures of 110 bar (1,595 psi) – the equivalent of five family sedans standing on each piston, every two revolutions. And its unique, specially tuned crank damper has been tested to 13,000 rpm. High-strength, forged-alloy pistons – developed using advanced telemetry measurement – are coupled to powder-forged connecting rods with high-load-capacity bushings and diamond-like-carbon-coated piston pins. The new supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 has premium-grade, heat-treated aluminum-alloy cylinder heads that are optimized for superior thermal conductivity. And its die-cast aluminum rocker covers are HEMI Orange. In addition to the supercharged HEMI V-8 in the Challenger SRT Hellcat, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT model also gets a power boost with upgrades to the 392 HEMI V-8. Horsepower climbs to 485 from 470, while peak torque jumps to 475 lb.-ft. from 470 lb.-ft. The 392 also can be mated with a new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic or the proven six-speed manual transmission. All-new Drive Modes tailor the driving experience to each individual driver Whether its on-road or on-track, Challenger SRT owners can personalize their drive experience via the all-new Drive Modes feature. Drive Modes tailor the driving experience by controlling horsepower, transmission shift speeds, steering (Challenger SRT only), paddle shifters (automatic transmission only), traction and suspension. Drive Modes are pre-configured for Sport, Track and Default settings, while the Custom setting lets the driver customize the drive experience to their favorite settings. <ul> <li>Custom – Allows the driver to personalize the vehicle’s performance</li> <li>Sport – Delivers increased vehicle performance capability over the Default Mode</li> <li>Track – Delivers maximum vehicle performance capability on smooth, dry surfaces</li> <li>Default – Activates automatically when starting the vehicle</li> </ul> The Drive Mode feature is controlled through the Uconnect system and may be accessed by performing any of the following: <ul> <li>Pushing the SRT button on the instrument panel switch bank</li> <li>Selecting “Drive Modes” from the “SRT & Apps” menu</li> <li>Selecting “Drive Modes” from within the Performance Pages menu</li> </ul> Unlocking the power For the first time in Chrysler Group history, the all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine comes standard with two key fobs – red and black. The red key fob is the only key that can unlock the full horsepower and torque potential of the Challenger SRT Hellcat engine; while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output. Valet Mode is offered on both Challenger SRT and Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine. When Valet Mode is activated, the following vehicle configurations are enabled: <ul> <li>Engine is remapped to significantly reduce horsepower and torque; limited to 4,000 rpm</li> <li>Transmission locks out access to first gear and upshifts earlier than normal</li> <li>Transmission will treat the manual shifter position the same as the drive position</li> <li>Traction, steering and suspension are set to their “Street” settings</li> <li>Steering-wheel paddle shifters are disabled</li> <li>Drive Mode functions are disabled</li> <li>Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is enabled to Full-on</li> <li>Launch Control is disabled</li> </ul> The driver can activate and deactivate Valet Mode with a four-digit PIN code they create. Outstanding ride and handling The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT rides on new, SRT-exclusive “77” eight-spoke 20 x 9-inch forged-aluminum “Hyper Black” wheels. Standard 245/45ZR20 (front and rear) Goodyear RSA2 All-Season or available Goodyear F1 Supercar Three-Season tires deliver serious grip and handling. Standard wheels on the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine are new SRT-exclusive “Slingshot” split-seven spoke 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a matte black finish; available on the SRT 392 as part of the SRT Track Pack. New P275/40ZR20 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (front and rear) provide all-season traction while the newest tire technology from Pirelli includes the class exclusive four-season tire that is Y-Plus rated to handle the extreme speeds. Pirelli P Zero tires are available for three-season performance driving. Available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat are 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a Brass Monkey/dark bronze finish. Benchmark braking Standard on the 2015 Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine is the largest front-brake package ever offered in an SRT vehicle, featuring all-new 390-mm (15.4-inch) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers for outstanding heat management/thermal capacity and longevity. This upgraded high-performance brake package is available on the 392 HEMI® SRT model as part of the SRT Track Pack. New anti-lock braking system (ABS), ESC and traction control systems are uniquely tuned and configurable for specific tire and powertrain configurations. Aggressive and functional exteriors Dodge and SRT designers and engineers spent 35 percent more time in the Chrysler Group’s full-scale wind tunnel in Auburn Hills, Michigan, (compared with the previous-generation Dodge Challenger SRT) developing and further refining the aggressive and functional exteriors on the Challenger SRT and Challenger SRT Hellcat. The result is a re-engineered Challenger capable of maximum aerodynamic performance for spirited driving on the road or the race track. At the front, new fascia designs and all-new vertical-split grille provide a menacing update of its 1971 inspiration. A larger, power-bulge aluminum hood features a dedicated “cold-air” intake – a visual styling cue from the first Viper coupe built in 1996. The hood on the new Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine also includes dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment. The hood is standard in body color and is available in a Satin Black finish. Both models of the Challenger SRT feature all-aluminum hoods designed to reduce weight. Another key design element on the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the exclusive Air Catcher inlet port, which feeds ram-air directly into the engine air box through the driver-side parking lamp. All-new quad projector headlamps give a more detailed appearance, while a more aggressive brow “chops” the upper portion of the lamp design for an even more sinister attitude. Integrated projector fog lamps on the Challenger 392 SRT are pushed to the lower corners to help accentuate the car’s width while illuminating the road. A new duck-bill fascia splitter helps improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics. The Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine features a larger front splitter designed for optimal downforce to minimize lift. From the side, the signature muscular proportions and large thruster rear-quarter panels stand out from the crowd, while fender and belt lines tie together at the front and rear of the car to create a sleeker appearance. Differentiating the Challenger SRT Hellcat from the rest of the Challenger lineup are its “SUPERCHARGED” fender badges. Black sills accentuate the proportions of the muscle coupe and have been tuned in the wind tunnel to improve aerodynamics. Out back, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT recalls the historic 1971 model’s styling with a new split tail-lamp design and rear fascia. The tail lamps feature the new signature LED graphic with its smooth glow of light that can be seen from blocks away. A redesigned rear valance helps the 2015 Challenger SRT models look more planted on the ground. A unique, taller rear spoiler on the SRT Hellcat features a raised SRT logo. Race-inspired, high-performance interiors Inside the 2015 Dodge Challenger is an all-new enthusiast-centric cockpit with world-class materials, execution and technology. Key elements are inspired by the interior of the 1971 Challenger. The performance cockpit of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT carries an essence of the 1971 Challenger, in an artistic and more organically styled way. The all-new cleanly executed instrument panel features a stamped aluminum bezel, which sets the tone for the driver’s display. For a high-tech look, an innovative 7-inch driver-selectable driver information display (DID) screen is centered in the gauge cluster and provides an almost infinitely customizable display. The all-new DID screen is flanked by new analog speedometer and tachometer gauges, which provide a heritage-inspired look with concave shapes and a hub-covered needle design, reminiscent of the “tic-toc-tach” gauges from the 1971 Challenger. For the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine, the fixed gauges and digital graphics are finished in a Dark Radar Red tone to make it even more unique. Additionally, the dashboard’s center stack neatly houses the new standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. New for 2015 drivers can select one of the many offered backgrounds to connect the digital look and feel with their chosen interior package. A new, trapezoidal shaped stamped aluminum center console provides Challenger SRT’s interior with a fresh look. The aluminum trim gets one of two finishes, “Hectic Mesh” for the Challenger 392 SRT and “Dark Engine Turn” for the Challenger SRT Hellcat. The console also exudes craftsmanship and style with leather-wrapped surfaces and French-seamed accent stitching running from the back to the front. Employing a unique, elevated design, the all-new center console houses ergonomically located redundant button and knob controls for audio and climate functions. An all-new media hub with an SD card slot, USB outlet and audio jack is neatly housed inside the center console’s flocked armrest. For those who opt for the segment-first TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, an all-new and class-exclusive electronic shifter with an all-new driver-oriented T-handle provides the driver with intuitive gear selection and offers an Auto Stick selector gate for added control. For those who prefer having a third pedal, the precise and track-proven Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission is fitted with a throwback ball shifter. A redesigned SRT-branded heated steering wheel features a flat bottom for the high-performance driver. Available paddle shifters (with automatic transmission) are located on the back of the upper spokes. The buttons to control the driver-configurable full-color thin-film transistor (TFT) display are large and illuminated. Buttons for Uconnect and phone access now reside along the bottom edge of the horizontal spokes. Optional adaptive cruise control is configured by buttons that are symmetrically opposite on the right hand side of the wheel. As before, the highly praised audio controls are still found on the back of the upper spokes. This new tilt-telescoping steering wheel also has a 360-degree heat element. To make cruises more pleasurable, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT features redesigned seats with improved cushioning and more comfortable contours. For improved comfort and convenience, new for 2015 are standard heated and ventilated front seats. The passenger seat also has an easy exit/entry function to provide access to the rear seat – this is controlled by a release handle on the top shoulder of the seat. Challenger SRT offers performance seats with large side bolsters for maximum lateral support in hard cornering. The seats can be covered in Nappa leather/Alcantara material with embroidered SRT logos. Laguna premium leather, colored either sepia or black with embossed SRT logos, is available as part of an equipment package. High-impact exterior colors Many of the most memorable paint colors in automotive history have been found on the Challenger. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 and SRT with the HEMI Hellcat will be available in 11 exterior colors: B5 Blue Pearl Coat, Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Pearl Coat, Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl, Jazz Blue Pearl Coat, Phantom Black Tri-Coat Pearl, Pitch Black Clear Coat, Redline Tri-Coat Pearl, Sublime Metallic Pearl Coat and TorRed Clear Coat. Twin, full-body stripes are available in Black Satin Gloss and Silver High Gloss on the SRT 392. <h2>С кем может соревноваться 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</h2> <h2>Список конкурентов 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.</h2> Глядя на Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat 2015 года, родилась идея составить топ-список самых быстрых автомобилей из ныне продаваемых. Критериями оценки по версии Hellcat послужили следующие параметры: километраж ( в милях), время прохождения установленной трассы, а также показатели скорости и мощности. В каждом списке участвуют 15 автомобилей, то есть всего 15 позиций. 1. 2014 McLaren P1: 9.8 сек 148.9 мили/ч 2. 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder: 10 сек 145.2 мили/ч 3. 2012 Lamborghini Aventador (U.S. Spec): 10.8 сек 132.2 мили/ч 4. 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S: 10.9 сек 123.7 мили/ч 5. 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack: 11 сек 125.1 мили/ч 6. 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia: 11.1 сек 125.2 мили/ч 7. 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta: 11.3 сек 131.7 мили/ч 8. 2014 Audi R8 V-10 Plus: 11.3 сек 125.8 мили/ч 9. 2014 SRT Viper TA: 11.3 сек 129.3 мили/ч 10. 2014 Audi RS 7: 11.6 сек 120.4 мили/ч 11. 2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S: 11.6 сек 122 мили/ч 14. 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S: 11.7 сек 122.7 мили/ч 15. 2013 Audi S8: 11.8 сек 118.3 мили/ч Примечание. Но есть и те модели, которые не включены в списки. Например,GT500 Шелби по причине того, что производство этого автомобиля прекращено, А McLaren 12C был недавно заменен на новый 650S и данных по его характеристикам еще не поступало <img src="http://www.1gai.ru/uploads/posts/2014-08/thumbs/1407394553_2014-ferrari-458-italia-three-quarters-in-motion-front-view-004.jpg" /> В данный топ-список также вошли следующие претенденты: CLS63 S AMG и E63 AMG S wagon, они прошли дистанцию с 11.7 секунды прохождения четверти мили. Однако, нужно заметить, что при формировании результатов было учтено прохождение претендентами четверти мили. В этом случае свои преимущества продемонстрировали Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan GTR и Porsche 911 Turbo S. 1. 2014 McLaren P1: 9.8 сек 148.9 мили/ч 2. 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder: 10 сек 145.2 мили/ч 3. 2012 Lamborghini Aventador (U.S. Spec): 10.8 сек 132.2 m мили/ч 4. 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta: 11.3 сек 131.7 мили/ч 5. 2014 SRT Viper TA: 11.3 сек 129.3 мили/ч 6. 2014 Audi R8 V-10 Plus: 11.3 сек 125.8 мили/ч 7. 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: 11.7 сек 125.4 мили/ч 8. 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia: 11.1 сек 125.2 мили/ч 9. 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Pack: 11 сек 125.1 мили/ч 10. 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S: 10.9 сек 123.7 мили/ч 11. 2014 BMW M6: 12.1 сек 123.1 мили/ч 12. 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG: 11.6 сек 123 мили/ч 13. 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S: 11.7 сек 122.7 мили/ч 14. 2014 BMW M5: 11.9 сек 122.5 мили/ч 15. 2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S: 11.6 сек 122 мили/ч <img src="http://www.1gai.ru/uploads/posts/2014-08/thumbs/1407395214_2014-bmw-m6-coupe-front-view-low.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.1gai.ru/uploads/posts/2014-08/thumbs/1407395283_2014-audi-r8-v10-plus-three-quarters-in-motion-front-view-005.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.1gai.ru/uploads/posts/2014-08/thumbs/1407395234_2015-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-front-three-quarters-02.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.1gai.ru/uploads/posts/2014-08/thumbs/1407395226_2015-mercedes-benz-cls63-amg-s-4matic-front-three-quarters-in-motion.jpg" /> Стоит обратить внимание на то, что данная статистика включает самые мощные транспортные средства до сих пор находящиеся в производстве. Более того, для некоторых изготовителей тот же самый двигатель с той же самой выходной мощностью используется для широкого диапазона моделей, таким образом, некоторые модели, такие как Астон Мартин и Mercedes, представительны для всей линии транспортных средств, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series использующие этот тип двигателя. 1. 2014 McLaren P1: 904 л.с. 2. 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder: 887 л.с. 3. 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta: 731 л.с. 4. 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: 707 л.с. 5. 2012 Lamborghini Aventador: 691 л.с. 6. 2014 SRT Viper: 640 л.с. 7. 2014 Bentley Flying Spur: 616 л.с. 8. 2014 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: 580 л.с. 9. 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S: 577 л.с. 10. 2014 BMW M5: 575 л.с. 11. 2014 Aston Martin Vantage V12 S: 565 л.с. 12. 2014 Rolls-Royce Ghost: 563 л.с. 13. 2014 Audi RS7: 560 л.с. 14. 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus: 560 л.с. 15. 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S: 560 л.с. Примечание. Так же стоит упомянуть следующие модели: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series – на 622 л. с. V-8. В тоже время возможно было бы включить в топ Corvette C7 Z06 2015 года с его 650 лошадиными силами, но он еще не вошел в производство. Вот такой получился список. Сравнивайте, изучайте, анализируйте, выбирайте. <h2>2015 Dodge Challenger SRT HEMI Hellcat</h2> <h2>Overview: 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</h2> <h2>2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Supercharged HEMI Hellcat</h2> The newly consolidated Dodge and SRT brands are launching out of the gate at full throttle – introducing the new 600-plus horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine and its stablemate – the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT just one month after taking the wraps off the new Dodge Challenger 392 HEMI® Scat Pack Shaker at the New York Auto Show.

When Valet Mode is activated, the following vehicle configurations are enabled: <ul> <li>Engine is remapped to significantly reduce horsepower and torque; limited to 4,000 rpm</li> <li>Transmission locks out access to first gear and upshifts earlier than normal</li> <li>Transmission will treat the manual shifter position the same as the drive position</li> <li>Traction, steering and suspension are set to their “Street” settings</li> <li>Steering-wheel paddle shifters are disabled</li> <li>Drive Mode functions are disabled</li> <li>Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is enabled to Full-on</li> <li>Launch Control is disabled</li> </ul> The driver can activate and deactivate Valet Mode with a four-digit PIN code they create. <h3>Outstanding ride and handling</h3> The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT rides on new, SRT-exclusive “77” eight-spoke 20 x 9-inch forged-aluminum “Hyper Black” wheels. Standard 245/45ZR20 (front and rear) Goodyear RSA2 All-Season or available Goodyear F1 Supercar Three-Season tires deliver serious grip and handling. Standard wheels on the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine are new SRT-exclusive “Slingshot” split-seven spoke 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a matte black finish; available on the SRT 392 as part of the SRT Track Pack. New P275/40ZR20 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (front and rear) provide all-season traction while the newest tire technology from Pirelli includes the class exclusive four-season tire that is Y-Plus rated to handle the extreme speeds. Pirelli P Zero tires are available for three-season performance driving. Available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat are 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a Brass Monkey/dark bronze finish. <h3>Benchmark braking</h3> Standard on the 2015 Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine is the largest front-brake package ever offered in an SRT vehicle, featuring all-new 390-mm (15.4-inch) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers for outstanding heat management/thermal capacity and longevity. This upgraded high-performance brake package is available on the 392 HEMI® SRT model as part of the SRT Track Pack. New anti-lock braking system (ABS), ESC and traction control systems are uniquely tuned and configurable for specific tire and powertrain configurations. <h3>Aggressive and functional exteriors</h3> Dodge and SRT designers and engineers spent 35 percent more time in the Chrysler Group’s full-scale wind tunnel in Auburn Hills, Michigan, (compared with the previous-generation Dodge Challenger SRT) developing and further refining the aggressive and functional exteriors on the Challenger SRT and Challenger SRT Hellcat. The result is a re-engineered Challenger capable of maximum aerodynamic performance for spirited driving on the road or the race track. At the front, new fascia designs and all-new vertical-split grille provide a menacing update of its 1971 inspiration. A larger, power-bulge aluminum hood features a dedicated “cold-air” intake – a visual styling cue from the first Viper coupe built in 1996. The hood on the new Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine also includes dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment. The hood is standard in body color and is available in a Satin Black finish. Both models of the Challenger SRT feature all-aluminum hoods designed to reduce weight. Another key design element on the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the exclusive Air Catcher inlet port, which feeds ram-air directly into the engine air box through the driver-side parking lamp. All-new quad projector headlamps give a more detailed appearance, while a more aggressive brow “chops” the upper portion of the lamp design for an even more sinister attitude. Integrated projector fog lamps on the Challenger 392 SRT are pushed to the lower corners to help accentuate the car’s width while illuminating the road. A new duck-bill fascia splitter helps improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics. The Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine features a larger front splitter designed for optimal downforce to minimize lift. From the side, the signature muscular proportions and large thruster rear-quarter panels stand out from the crowd, while fender and belt lines tie together at the front and rear of the car to create a sleeker appearance. Differentiating the Challenger SRT Hellcat from the rest of the Challenger lineup are its “SUPERCHARGED” fender badges. Black sills accentuate the proportions of the muscle coupe and have been tuned in the wind tunnel to improve aerodynamics. Out back, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT recalls the historic 1971 model’s styling with a new split tail-lamp design and rear fascia. The tail lamps feature the new signature LED graphic with its smooth glow of light that can be seen from blocks away. A redesigned rear valance helps the 2015 Challenger SRT models look more planted on the ground. A unique, taller rear spoiler on the SRT Hellcat features a raised SRT logo. <h3>Race-inspired, high-performance interiors</h3> Inside the 2015 Dodge Challenger is an all-new enthusiast-centric cockpit with world-class materials, execution and technology. Key elements are inspired by the interior of the 1971 Challenger. The performance cockpit of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT carries an essence of the 1971 Challenger, in an artistic and more organically styled way. The all-new cleanly executed instrument panel features a stamped aluminum bezel, which sets the tone for the driver’s display. For a high-tech look, an innovative 7-inch driver-selectable driver information display (DID) screen is centered in the gauge cluster and provides an almost infinitely customizable display. The all-new DID screen is flanked by new analog speedometer and tachometer gauges, which provide a heritage-inspired look with concave shapes and a hub-covered needle design, reminiscent of the “tic-toc-tach” gauges from the 1971 Challenger. For the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine, the fixed gauges and digital graphics are finished in a Dark Radar Red tone to make it even more unique. Additionally, the dashboard’s center stack neatly houses the new standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. New for 2015 drivers can select one of the many offered backgrounds to connect the digital look and feel with their chosen interior package. A new, trapezoidal shaped stamped aluminum center console provides Challenger SRT’s interior with a fresh look. The aluminum trim gets one of two finishes, “Hectic Mesh” for the Challenger 392 SRT and “Dark Engine Turn” for the Challenger SRT Hellcat. The console also exudes craftsmanship and style with leather-wrapped surfaces and French-seamed accent stitching running from the back to the front. Employing a unique, elevated design, the all-new center console houses ergonomically located redundant button and knob controls for audio and climate functions. An all-new media hub with an SD card slot, USB outlet and audio jack is neatly housed inside the center console’s flocked armrest. For those who opt for the segment-first TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, an all-new and class-exclusive electronic shifter with an all-new driver-oriented T-handle provides the driver with intuitive gear selection and offers an Auto Stick selector gate for added control. For those who prefer having a third pedal, the precise and track-proven Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission is fitted with a throwback ball shifter. A redesigned SRT-branded heated steering wheel features a flat bottom for the high-performance driver. Available paddle shifters (with automatic transmission) are located on the back of the upper spokes. The buttons to control the driver-configurable full-color thin-film transistor (TFT) display are large and illuminated. Buttons for Uconnect and phone access now reside along the bottom edge of the horizontal spokes. Optional adaptive cruise control is configured by buttons that are symmetrically opposite on the right hand side of the wheel. As before, the highly praised audio controls are still found on the back of the upper spokes. This new tilt-telescoping steering wheel also has a 360-degree heat element. To make cruises more pleasurable, the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT features redesigned seats with improved cushioning and more comfortable contours. For improved comfort and convenience, new for 2015 are standard heated and ventilated front seats. The passenger seat also has an easy exit/entry function to provide access to the rear seat – this is controlled by a release handle on the top shoulder of the seat. Challenger SRT offers performance seats with large side bolsters for maximum lateral support in hard cornering. The seats can be covered in Nappa leather/Alcantara material with embroidered SRT logos. Laguna premium leather, colored either sepia or black with embossed SRT logos, is available as part of an equipment package. <h3>High-impact exterior colors</h3> Many of the most memorable paint colors in automotive history have been found on the Challenger. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 and SRT with the HEMI Hellcat will be available in 11 exterior colors: B5 Blue Pearl Coat, Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Pearl Coat, Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl, Jazz Blue Pearl Coat, Phantom Black Tri-Coat Pearl, Pitch Black Clear Coat, Redline Tri-Coat Pearl, Sublime Metallic Pearl Coat and TorRed Clear Coat. Twin, full-body stripes are available in Black Satin Gloss and Silver High Gloss on the SRT 392. <h2>2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</h2> Dodge в лице своего компаньона — спортивного подразделения SRT, анонсировал выпуск сразу двух легендарных маслкаров — Charger Hellcat и Challenger Hellcat. И чтобы моментально понравиться всем и сразу, укомплектовал их самыми высокопроизводительными V-8 двигателями. Но все по порядку, и начнем, пожалуй, с купе. В Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat установлен 6,2 литровый V8 блок от Hemi с нагнетателем. Мощность, которая заявлена по паспорту 707 л.с. (520 кВт), максимальный крутящий момент составляет 881 Нм. Четверть мили автомобиль проходит за 10,8 секунды. Коробок передач две: это 8-ступенчатая автоматическая TorqueFlite HP90 и 6-ступенчатая механическая Tremec. При взгляде на Challenger Hellcat невольно обращаешь внимание на детали внешнего вида, которые отличают его от базового прародителя. Безусловно, это «боевая» раскраска, уникальные 20″ дюймовые кованые диски черного цвета (размерность 20×9.5″), капот и передний бампер с низким «фартуком» и массивными боковыми воздуховодами. Последние становятся уже традиционными для спортивных автомобилей конструкцией бампера, которые, помимо аэродинамической основной функции служит еще охлаждением для тормозов. <h3>Тормоза и подвеска.</h3> Чтобы «гоняться» на высоких скоростях одного мощного двигателя будет не достаточно. Поэтому инженеры SRT пошли по проверенному пути, используя качественные и проверенные бренды для одной из самых важных составляющих автомобиля — управления и умения останавливаться. Спереди Hellcat оснащен 15,4″ дюймовыми вентилируемыми тормозными дисками от Brembo®, накрытыми шестипоршевыми суппортами. Сзади используются 13,8″ дюймовые роторы. Подвеска Challenger’а настраиваемая, с тремя базовыми программами демпфирования — «Track», «Sport» и «Street». Новая приборная панель, которая видимо, станет базовой для всего 2015-го модельного ряда этого купе. Вариантов обивки салона четыре: черная кожа, черная кожа с черной алькантарой, черная кожа с красной алькантарой и версия со светло-коричневой кожей. На сегодняшний день Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat является самым мощным серийно выпускающимся автомобилем, настоящим мускул каром! В Америке ценник начинается с $59.995, о поставке в Европу пока ничего не сообщается. <h2>Освеженный Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat — с мотором от Демона</h2> Ford Mustang и Chevrolet Camaro уже сменили поколения и даже пережили рестайлинг, но компания Dodge продолжает подновлять свое купе Challenger, которому уже стукнуло десять лет. Сегодня анонсирован очередной список доработок, а первую позицию в нем занимает новая топ-версия SRT Hellcat Redeye. Фактически под этим названием скрывается упрощенный Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, который представлял собой заводскую машину для дрэг-рейсинга, выпущенную ограниченным тиражом 3300 экземпляров. Последний Demon недавно был продан с аукциона, но те, кто не успел оформить заказ, теперь могут присмотреться к версии Redeye. У Демона такое купе унаследовало могучий компрессорный мотор V8 Hemi 6.2 с более крупным нагнетателем, двумя топливными насосами вместо одного, переработанным клапанным механизмом и более прочными шатунами. Правда, отдача двигателя снижена: если Demon выдавал 852 л.с. и 1044 Нм, то показатели версии Redeye — это 808 л.с. и 958 Нм. Что, впрочем, тоже немало. С места до 97 км/ч купе Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye ускоряется за 3,4 с, максимальная скорость — 327 км/ч. Заезд на четверть мили длится 10,8 с — это всего на 0,1 с меньше результата базовой версии Hellcat, мотор которой теперь форсирован с 717 до 727 л.с. А проигрыш Демону достигает 1,15 с. Впрочем, последнему помогали специальные шины, доработанная под дрэг-рейсинг подвеска и сниженная масса: новому купе Redeye эти особенности не достались. Кстати, в режиме максимальной отдачи компрессорный мотор расходует 5,4 литра топлива в минуту, то есть полный бак бензина будет опустошен через 11 минут «отжига». Но расход по стандартному ездовому циклу EPA — вполне приемлемые для такой машины 10,7 л/100 км. Из других обновок — капот с двумя «ноздрями» воздухозаборника, который устанавливается на все модификации SRT. А опция Widebody с расширенной колеей и накладными колесными арками теперь доступна не только для компрессорного Хэллкэта, но и для купе с безнаддувной «восьмеркой» 6.4 (492 л.с.). Сохранились в гамме и менее мощные моторы V8 5.7 (380 л.с.) и V6 3.6 (309 л.с.), причем последний устанавливают и с задним, и с полным приводом. В продаже купе 2019 модельного года со всеми обновками, включая версию Redeye, появятся этой осенью. Но едва ли все перечисленные изменения подстегнут спрос. В прошлом году на рынке США было продано 65 тысяч автомобилей Dodge Challenger против 68 тысяч Camaro и 82 тысяч Мустангов. Увы, в России из этого трио официально продается только Camaro. Yes, we know; just like brunchfast, “brutiful” is not a real word, but we reckon it best describes our feelings after hearing the brutal yet at the same time, beautiful sounds of the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s supercharged V8, so we’re running with it for now… Before you run down to hear what the 600+ horsepower V8 from Chrysler sounds like when you stroke the gas pedal, you may want to take a quick look at a list with some of the key numbers that the Detroit carmaker put together in regards to both the standard Challenger SRT and the Hellcat, which will hit showrooms later in the year. 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT By The Numbers 2: Key fobs with HEMI Hellcat V-8.
