Wider tires mean a quicker, better handling muscle car. Dodge gives the 2018 Challenger SRT Hellcat a Demon -inspired makeover by adding the new drag-racing-honed muscle car’s widebody kit to its less powerful sibling. The broad flares add 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) to the Challenger ’s already brawny body and let the automaker fit a set of 20-inch split-spoke wheels under the fenders with 305/35 Pirelli P-Zero tires. The more ferocious feline starts at $72,590 (after $1,700 for the gas guzzler tax and $1,095 destination) and goes on sale in the third quarter of this year.

New Dodge Security System Limits Challenger, Charger To Just 2.8 HP
It's retroactive to 2015 models and free of charge, but there's a catch. The Dodge Charger and Challenger are among the most stolen vehicles in America . If we're honest, Hellcat power in the hands of actual owners with average driving skills can be daunting enough. With a desperate thief behind the wheel it can get nasty in a hurry, but Dodge now offers a free-of-charge fix to basically stop car criminals in their tracks. It comes in the form of a new security system that sounds simple and terrifically effective. Should a would-be thief get inside and start the car, the engine won't move off idle. That means the criminal will have all of 2.8 horsepower (2.0 kilowatts) and 22 pound-feet (30 Newton-meters) of torque to at their disposal for a getaway. For comparison, that's a little less than the average walk-behind lawnmower you'll find for $200 at pretty much any hardware store in America.

Pennzoil Proves Dodge Demon Can Drift In Latest Video
840 horsepower makes for very effective rear steering. Penzoil is on a roll these days with its library of short action videos, and Dodge seems to be the manufacturer of choice for landing the leading roles. We last saw this kind of four-wheeled fun four months ago with Penzoil’s opposite-lock farewell tribute to the Viper, barreling through the streets of Miami in a daytime sprint. This time around the setting is a gritty Pittsburgh night, and while the car in question is known for be a drag strip monster, there’s still plenty of sideways action to be had with an 840 horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon .

Stellantis Assures Enthusiasts New SRT Performance Cars Still Planned
SRT’s high-horsepower performance cars aren’t going anywhere. Earlier this week, news that Stellantis disbanded the SRT team shocked enthusiasts. The three-letter performance brand has produced some potent machines in recent years, starting with the original Hellcat in 2015 and culminating in the Demon Drag car a few years later. However, there’s no swan song planned just yet for SRT . Motor Trend got Stellantis on record, saying that it will continue to produce SRT-branded models for Dodge, Ram, and Jeep. While there’s no longer a dedicated SRT (Street and Racing Technology) team, the engineers who comprise that group continue to work for the company. They’ve been spread across the various Stellantis brands – over a dozen – and integrated into the global engineering organization. The former SRT team will continue its performance-oriented work while also assisting other brands with product development. According to the company, this will have a “two-way benefit,” … [Read more...] about Stellantis Assures Enthusiasts New SRT Performance Cars Still Planned
