Watch Hennessey’s 1,000-HP Challenger Hellcat Roar on the Dyno

Hey look, another Dodge Challenger Hellcat video. But
don’t worry, this isn’t some rubber-burning, smoke-inducing visual and
aural adrenaline injection. This is Hennessey’s 1,060-horsepower
Challenger Hellcat on the dyno.
Visually, there isn’t much to differentiate the
standard Challenger from Hennessey’s go-fast version. Mechanically—it’s
night and day. The standard 707-horsepower engine has been boosted to
the aforementioned 1,060 horsepower (at the crank) thanks to a hefty new
twin-turbo kit.
As good as 1,060 horsepower sounds on paper,
realistically, at the wheels you’re seeing a 20 percent loss, equating
to 848 horsepower. Still, that’s not exactly what I would call ‘slow,’ a
healthy 141-horsepower increase over the standard Hellcat.
Of course, all
this newfound performance comes at a price. On top of the cost of your
stock Challenger (or Charger) Hellcat, Hennessey will suck another
$55,000 out of your wallet for the HPE1000 upgrade. The question is: is
it actually worth it?
