And come soon, it shall. If SRT Hellcat's supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8, pushing 707 horsepower with up to 650 pound-feet of torque to approach the limits of the sedan's 0-200 mph speedometer, is any indication, the infernal beast will be something to behold.

After all, Car and Driver awarded SRT Hellcat a 4.5 out of 5 rating, calling it "the most powerful production sedan on earth," and Kelley Blue Book's accolades for its "[unique combination of] comfort, interior room and technology, aggressive styling, horsepower to spare and just enough attitude" surely earn it the chops implied by the "Street & Racing Technology" acronym in its moniker. As pertains comparing 2017 Hellcat to its 2016 iteration, as well as to Charger R/T, R/T, SE and SXT and 2016 and 2017 Dodge Challenger R/T, R/T 392, SRT 392, SRT Hellcat and SXT, the former's low, lean, scalloped-bodyside profile showcases quite the competitor. Hellcat seems made for shredding track, with TorqueFlite® eight-speed auto transmission, three driver-selectable electric power steering modes, four-wheel independent short- and long-arm sport suspension, and rear-wheel drive that just begs to peel out. Rain Brake Support works with Hellcat's Anti-lock brakes to handle reliably by slaking away brake pad moisture, and should the sedan's full-speed forward collision warning detect potential collision, it pre-fills brakes, delivers visual and audible alerts, and triggers automatic advanced Brake Assist – safety topped only by the peace of mind of an NHTSA crash test rating of five stars overall.
