New Metal | 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody
America is in a rather strange situation politically at the moment. Thankfully, things are just as crazy in the world of muscle cars. How better to improve on the Challenger SRT Hellcat than by making it wider"
Yes, it’s another Mopar creation on EngageSportMode. No, we’re not sponsored by Dodge. Although if Sergio Marchionne wants to share some of his indeterminable wealth, we’re more than happy to sell out here. Or we will accept payment in the form of a Challenger SRT Hellcat.
“Happy 4th of July! Let’s celebrate it by adding a widebody kit to the already mental 707hp SRT Hellcat”. We like to think that those were the words which came out of the Dodge engineers, and marketeers, responsible for this latest creation. This wasn’t a particularly challenging exercise for the people at Dodge; taking the flared fenders from the Demon and slotting them on the Hellcat instead.
Doing so endows the Hellcat with an additional 3.5 inches of girth, and obviously makes it look 3.5 inches cooler in profile. Adding the name ‘Widebody’ to any car usually only ever results in good things, and we’re pleased to confirm that Dodge has continued that tradition. Getting an extra ‘wide on’ means this Hellcat now has rear wheels 11 inches across – Â an increase of 1.5 inches over the ‘normal’ version. Tyres are vast 305/35R20 Pirelli P-Zeros, and offer more grip.
So much more grip that the Hellcat Wi...
