Rumors can be a tenacious thing, even more when the rumor is something car enthusiast want to happen. Take the Hellcat Hemi rumor. There was previous speculation as to what SRT would be doing for their next generation Dodge Challenger. The belief is that it will have the new Hellcat Hemi and thus would be the SRT Dodge Challenger Hellcat. While nothing offical has been said either way, recent developments have brought the Hellcat rumor talk back.

Torque News thinks that Chrysler and SRT may have a surprise up their sleeve for the upcoming 2014 Spring Festival of LXs in California. The festival is a place where drivers of a Charger, 300, Dodge Magnum, or the Challenger get together and meet. Chrysler has not specifically said there will not be a major announcement made.

No news is, well, no news in this case. However, that level of silence for a major event could mean something. This is the right crowd for the SRT team to stand-up in front of to marvel at their latest creation. There would be no better place to get the momentum started for a new generation of Challenger.

As with all rumors, though, take this one with a grain of salt, something Torque News is quick to point out. This very rumor was happening around the time of the 2014 North American International Auto Show and, obviously, it was not true. Still, you never know.
Will we see the new SRT Dodge Challenger Hellcat? Only patience will tell.

Give any American a smartphone and they have the chance to capture the next great thing when they least expect it. Such is the case in Death Valley California where one lucky person got a glimpse, and the photographic evidence to back it up, of SRT’s latest treat out for a test drive. Based on the look, the car world believes this to be the Hellcat prototype of the SRT’s outing with the Dodge Challenger.

Ralph Gilles said awhile ago that his SRT team was putting together the competition for the newly revealed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. While he was vague on the how, he did let it slip that it was the Dodge Challenger being worked on. The vehicle was codenamed Hellcat, would be home to a supercharged Hemi V-8.

Motor Authority breaks down much of the news and speculation going into the Hellcat Challenger and also shows that this will be the last time for the current HEMI V-8 design.

Their evaluation of the photos taken of the presumed Hellcat Challenger prototype show a new lower air-intake design that would get more air to the engine to help keep it cooler. Also new are the mufflers at the back of the car. The writer makes note of a new rear bumper but clarifies that it is only temporary and the final production version should be different.

SRT has been on a roll of late with their popular Viper and the rest of the catalog filling out. While the Hellcat prototype of the SRT Dodge Challenger hasn’t been officially named yet, it’s only a matter of time now that people have a good idea of what to expect of the finished version.
