Dodge muscle cars, somewhere along the way in the automaker's storied history, became veritable monsters of legend. At the top of the eponymous line, like a myth-monster in its lair, dwells 2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, sporting a supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 powerhouse to bring to bear 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque on the road. Car and Driver gave the beast a 4.5 out of 5 rating, called it "the most powerful production sedan on earth," Kelley Blue Book echoing for Hellcat's "[unique combination of] comfort, interior room and technology with aggressive styling, horsepower to spare and just enough attitude." With "Street & Racing Technology" built into its name, legend surely becomes reality. And the infernal upcoming 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is soon to upend Dodge's signature sports car line to boot.
Even Dodge's Charger base bestrides like a giant. 2017 Dodge Charger SE delivers a metaphorically tire-shredding 292 horsepower, laying on performance torque at up to 260 pound-feet, thanks to its 3.6L Pentastar® V6 24-Valve VVT engine. And TorqueFlite eight-Speed automatic transmission, a rear-wheel drivetrain and an independent front and five-link rear touring suspension kick driving into literal high gear, with the smooth-operator status that only rack-and-pinion steering can deliver, while electronic roll mitigation and electronic stability control synergize with all-speed traction control and hill start assist to make diverse terrain a snap to overtake. When your ride's got this much panache, it had better look the part, too: a signature LED racetrack tail lamp makes it happen.
Dodge Demon's only a short time from being loosed upon the world. Until then, get a feel for top-notch road performance with a test drive in a comparable 2017 Dodge Charger SE. Stop by Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Eugene today!
