Anything Hennessey Performance
created would blow the collective minds of everyone on the internet. Nowadays,
it has become so common for the Texas tuner to work its magic on all manner of
performance cars and achieve ridiculous power figures, that’s it’s no longer
surprising. Even still, it is hard to argue that its Dodge Challenger SRT
Hellcat power upgrade isn’t seriously impressive.
Dubbed HPE1000, the package has been designed to
lift power from the Hellcat’s 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine to 1,000 hp at
the crank, or about 863 hp at the rear wheels like this example.
While the Hennessey-tuned Hellcat can hit 96
km/h in 2.7 seconds and run down the quarter mile in 9.9 seconds, it is not
just the performance that is impressive, it is the way this thing sounds. At
full throttle, the bellowing tone of the V8 is met with the howl of the
supercharger to create a cacophony that would get the attention of even the
most discerned supercar enthusiast.
