About the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat LA
The 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat remains a high-water mark for the American muscle car, famously delivering 707 horsepower from its 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8. While the LA-generation Challenger platform dates back to 2008, the Hellcat refresh introduced in 2015 brought significant upgrades to the suspension, brakes, and interior to handle the massive output. It is a heavy, full-sized coupé that prioritises straight-line dominance and a visceral supercharger whine over surgical handling. For the 2016 model year, Dodge doubled production to meet overwhelming demand and added standard Laguna leather and navigation.
