9. 2014 to Present Dodge Charger Hellcat

Ever since they released the four-door Charger it became a popular model, even with law-enforcement agencies. So in 2011, they introduced the second generation with a fresh design and more options. However, the platform and engine choices remained the same. Dodge kept the SRT model in the lineup and several interesting performance versions, too. But everybody knew the Charger was capable of much more.

So, finally, in 2014, the car community went crazy when Dodge released the Hellcat Charger and Challenger models. After all, they expected such a reaction. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 707 HP is a proper monster of a muscle car. But, Dodge did just that, allowing the public to buy one of the fastest, most powerful muscle cars they ever built. Despite being overpowered in every aspect, Dodge Charger Hellcats are surprisingly easy to drive. Surprisingly, they can be docile at low speeds. When you press the throttle to unleash the fury of those supercharged horses, you’ll feel the brutality of the Hellcat package. The 0 to 60 mph times are in the high three-second range and the car can top 200 mph. This is proof that the Dodge Charger will keep the muscle car segment interesting in the 21st century.
