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.
