When we first learned that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would pack an astonishing 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, one of the biggest points of speculation pertained to whether or not the most powerful American production car ever would be able to crack the 200mpg barrier. It has an analog speedometer that tops out at 200 which suggests that the Hellcat Challenger would join the Viper in the 200+ club…but it turned out not to be the case.
The Challenger SRT Hellcat has an official top speed of 199 miles per hour. This is mighty impressive, but reaching 200mph would put in an even more elite group of performance vehicle. Fortunately, a video featuring the Hellcat Challenger on the dyno at the K&N testing facility shows the digital speedometer hitting 202 miles per hour in 8th gear.
