Dodge is set to introduce a mild update for its Challenger for the 2015 model year, an update that's expected to include the addition of a supercharged HEMI V-8 in a new range-topping SRT model tipped to be called the Hellcat. The good news is that buyers won’t have to opt for the supercharged V-8 if they’re seeking more power, as the Challenger’s existing V-8 offerings are all reportedly due for some power upgrades as part of the 2015 model year update.
According to Allpar, the 5.7-liter V-8 in the Challenger R/T and 6.4-liter in the regular Challenger SRT will both get a performance boost. The engines currently deliver 375 horsepower and 470 horsepower, respectively. Unfortunately, the base Challenger's V-6 is expected to retain its 305-horsepower output.
