The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is a high performance variant of the Challenger equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI engine rated at 707 hp (527 kW) and 650 lb⋅ft (881 N⋅m) of torque. This engine is also available in the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat full-sized sedan, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk SUV, and as the Hellcrate engine swap kit. The inner driving light on the left front has been removed to allow air to get into the engine resulting in more torque, and the wheel wells are different from the standard SRT to accommodate the 20-inch aluminum wheels. The SRT Hellcat is equipped with two separate key fobs; use of the "black" fob limits engine output to 500 hp (373 kW), while the "red" fob enables full output capability.[50] The Hellcat has a quarter mile time of 10.85 seconds; this was accomplished with street legal drag tires. On stock tires the Hellcat was able to achieve 11.2 seconds at 125 mph (201 km/h) on the quarter mile.[51]

The Challenger SRT Hellcat can accelerate from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.6 seconds and can brake from 60–0 in 109 ft (33 m). Top speed is 199 mph (320 km/h). The Challenger Hellcat has a lateral acceleration of 0.94 g.[52]

The European-spec Hellcat is capable of accelerating from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds, 0–124 mph (0–200 km/h) in 10.7 seconds,[53] and 0–186 mph (0–299 km/h) in 38 seconds (although the speedometer appeared to be inaccurate by 10–15 km/h (6–9 mph)).[54]

The Challenger Hellcat was able to complete its Gingerman Raceway lap in 1:45.8,[55] the Hockenheim Short in 1:14.6,[56] the Motown Mile in 0:56.37.[57] It also completed the Motor Trend figure-8 circuit in 24.7 seconds.[58]
