A new NHRA Funny Car version of the Dodge Charger
Hellcat will soo makes its debut at Bandimere Speedway near Denver, July 20-22.
The drag racer takes after the production
707 HP Dodge Charger Hellcat, featuring a new front splitter (for added
downforce), deeper body side scallops (mitigating body burn) and a more
efficient way to release energy, utilizing a burst panel positioned above the
engine compartment.
Designers used the Charger SRT Hellcat as a template
to also create unique vehicle graphics. For example, the front end graphics are
meant to recreate the Hellcat’s grille and badging, while the decal markers
represent the air extractors and hood scoop of the production car.
This new Hellcat Funny Car body replaces the current
generation Mopar Dodge Charger R/T race car, which has amassed 50 wins to date,
including 42 runner-up finishes and 40 No.1 qualifier spots.
