Dodge is the well and truly into the testing phase of its brand new 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine dubbed the ‘Hellcat’. Now the very first video has emerged of a Hellcat equipped prototype at idle.
As the following short video shows, the new Dodge Challenger SRT definitely has a very different and distinct V8 burble from the previous generation SRT8. While we’ll obviously have to wait a little longer to hear the engine under full throttle, this should definitely get your heart racing!

The new supercharged V8 has been described as a “last hurrah” for the company before fuel economy standards limit horsepower outputs for American manufacturers. The engine will be built alongside the 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s currently produced by Chrysler and is expected to produce 640 hp if not a little bit more!
Can't Wait to drive it.
..oh my god that…. sounds so…. i've never heard something like that before. I'd actually be scared to get near that thing to be honest. " WAIT! DON"T START IT TILL I"M INSIDE!"
