The Dodge Challenger Hellcat has received the widebody kit from the new Dodge Demon, making room for bigger tyres with more grip and faster acceleration down the drag strip. The wider fender flares add an extra 3.5 inches to the width of the standard Hellcat, housing the new “Devil’s Rim” split-five spoke aluminium wheels that are 20 x 11-inch in size wrapped in wider 305/35ZR20 Pirelli P-Zero tires. Also new to the Hellcat line up is a new electric power steering (EPS) system that uses different selectable drive modes allowing customisation of the steering feel and response.
The extra grip provided by the bigger tyres has helped the Hellcat widebody to run the quarter mile drag quicker than any stock hellcat before. A run of 10.9 seconds was recorded beating the previous 11.2 seconds. 0-60 mph acceleration has also improved clocking in at 3.4 seconds compared to the old 3.5 second run.
