Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat




The Dodge Challenger has come into the world in three completely different generations. 

The first generation Challenger was a pony car produced from 1970-1974. 

The second generation ranged from 1978-1983 and was a badge engineered Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. 

The third, current generation came about in 2008 and was produced to compete against the Mustang and the Camaro, two legendary muscle cars that had started the pony car era. 

The current generation Challenger is built on the Charger/Chrysler 300C platform and features rear-wheel drive and an independent rear suspension. 

Officially the Dodge Challenger SRT is the only Chrysler Group model confirmed to receive the Hellcat under its bonnet.
