The new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is built with the expressed purpose of achieving one goal, absolute speed.  To that end, it is a marvelous success.  Not too many vehicles get to brag about the amount of horsepower this baby has.  Sadly, there is more to a car than just the power under the hood.  So while we all know the power, how is the rest?

Autocar has their overall impression of the Challenger SRT Hellcat.  They came to the conclusion that it a very odd vehicle to be on the market.  Like I said earlier, it is designed for the purpose of pushing what a muscle car is capable of.  But how does this play to the average buyer?

I think the answer is simple, it doesn’t.  This car is meant for a niche.  It is meant for the gearheads who don’t mind a car that burn through an entire tank of gas in 13 minutes.  That very statistic is the reason they are buying a Challenger SRT Hellcat.

For a practical car, it doesn’t make sense.  This really isn’t the daily drive to work kind of Challenger.  This is for the thrill of the road.  This is to shake off the stress of the day.  Even the reviewer acknowledges how impractical it is on the road (UK roads in this case).  However, for people looking for one mean machine, this is it.
