With the current sales month ending today, the Chrysler Group is celebrating one very special feat. No, we're not referring to Halloween and glorified jack-o'-lanterns. As it happens, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat sold a lot better than anyone anticipated the new muscle car king to do.

Official data isn't available just yet, but the Allpar team has learned a very interesting figure. Dodge chief executive officer Tim Kuniskis reportedly told that more than 4,000 people ordered a Challenger SRT Hellcat by the time the ordering system was operational, with the current total well over 5,000.
That's not half bad for a car that was rumored it'll be so exclusive, only 1,200 would be sold per year. We didn't buy that rumor when it surfaced because it was as clear as day a production cap would be bad for a struggling Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles NV that just announced a tenth of Ferrari S.p.A. will go public in order to pay a little of its 11.4 million euro debt.
The previously mentioned Mopar enthusiast site is also reporting that a local Dodge dealership informed them that "all of the Hellcats coming into their dealership are sold," with a new batch of Challener SRT Hellcats slated to be offered in December. Allpar's insider told that the muscle car king fetches even $10,000 over the $59,995 MSRP for very obvious reasons - who says no to a supercharged 6.2 HEMI V8?
On an ending note, we do have a hunch that even though the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a tad costlier at $63,995, it will sell even better than its two-door counterpart. 707 horsepower under the hood of a four-door sedan that you can drive on a daily basis is an offer few gearheads can refuse.
