A rare sight on European roads, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is one of the best examples of an “American-style” sports car. Otherwise let's see. Underneath the bonnet lives a colossal 6.2 l V8 capable of delivering 717 hp and 889 Nm of torque.
Now, these numbers make Dodge have special confidence in the performances of its sportiest saloon, stating that the Challenger SRT Hellcat is capable of reaching an impressive 320 km/h of top speed.
In light of this information, YouTube channel AutoTopNL decided to put the Challenger SRT Hellcat's sprinter skills to the test. For that, he took it to Germany (a country that is no stranger to Dodge, especially when we remember that the Charger SRT has already been around the Nürburgring) to put it to the test.

The chosen location was a section of Autobahn with no speed limit (one of the few public places in the world where you can seriously test the Challenger SRT Hellcat) and as you can see in the video the maximum speed reached was (well) below 320 km/ h announced. It remains to be seen whether the “fault” was the car or the driver.
