Every petrolhead (or most of them, anyway) loves a basic car with a big engine stuffed under the hood that's capable of smoking most high-end machines in a straight line. Dodge is well aware of that, so they spruced up the offering with Hellcat-powered versions of its Challenger, Charger, and Durango series.
The famous engine, which is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 capable of pumping out from over 700 horsepower to well over 1,000 in the latest iteration Demon 170, was also used in other vehicles from partner brands, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and the Ram 1500 TRX.
As it happens, it was the lump that made the pictured Dodge Charger truly great. And it wasn't an older example either, but a 2023 model, which gave its last breath while it was engulfed in flames. The fire got the best of it, destroying everything – or almost everything, because the engine is gone, so it may have been saved (fingers crossed).
The pictures shared on the automotive hall of shame called Copart show that there isn't anything that anyone could do with this 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, as only the body remains, and it was badly affected by the flames. An artist might turn it into an interesting sculpture, though they'd need a tetanus shot before getting near it. Then again, it could easily be turned into a chicken coop.
Whatever you may have in mind for this once great muscly sedan, know that it is for sale. It is listed for grabs on the aforementioned website as a direct sale, so it won't hit the online auction block as part of a future event. What you see is what you get, namely a burnt and stripped four-door that used to have a fabulous engine under the hood and additional hot amenities. And we don't know about you, but we'd definitely say no to it.
If you don't agree with that, then you may want to click on this link that will take you to the listing. The car, or what’s left of it, can be found in Jackson, Mississippi, yet it isn't the type of buy where an in-person inspection might convince you to drive it home or not. Nonetheless, we think it would probably sell, as it is often the case with vehicles in horrible conditions that get listed for grabs, and we'd want a word with the kind of person who sees the value in it, as it would likely lead to an interesting conversation.
We'll wrap it up by reminding you that both the Challenger and the Charger are going away, and we don't know anything about their successors other than the rumor that they might go fully electric.
