Given the marketing SRT used to promote their blown 6.2-liter V8, it's no wonder that demon-related jokes have been around just as long as the pair of Hellcats themselves. However, we might have just come across the first evidence that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat is possessed.
Yes, we know, it all sounds like we've let the 707 ponies get to our head, but stick with us and you'll catch the drift.
It all has to do with a dyno video released by Hennessey, with the clip showcasing the tuner's 850 hp Challenger Hellcat playing in the dyno room.
Nevertheless, if you pay attention to the background, you'll notice the Hellcat using its powers on the door that sits behind the Dynojet chassis dyno. We've brought you the gif image above that helps with the focusing side, but watching the clip below between the 0:9s and the 0:18s marks has a similar effect.
Was the door operated thanks to the effect of the Challenger's exhaust allowing the muscle car's inner demons to flow freely or was that simply the airflow resulting from the fan providing the cooling? We'll never know for sure.
On a more serious note, we'll mention the HPE850 kit means your Challenger Hellcat will deliver 742.84 hp and 684.56 lb-ft of twist at the rear wheels.
Here are all the mods included in the Lone Star State tuner's package:
• Upgraded tuning software
• High flow air filter element
• Lower pulley upgrade (increases boost by 1-2 psi)
• Port matched throttle body
• Hennessey embroidered head rests
• Exterior Hennessey emblem
• Exterior HPE850 emblems
• Serial numbered dash plaque
• Serial numbered plaque in engine compartment
P.S.: Those of you who are unsure of this vehicle's connection to the dark side should simply use its soundtrack as a hint on the matter.
