Chrysler working supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8

Chrysler’s Hemi is getting blown to Hell.

Automotive News reports that the automaker’s SRT division is hard at work on a new 6.2-liter supercharged version of its venerable V8 under the codename Hellcat.

Insiders say the monster motor could challenge the 640 hp V10 in the SRT Viper for top dog status in Chrysler’s piston pantheon.

The highest output V8 the company currently sells is the naturally aspirated 470 hp 6.4-liter found in several models, including the Challenger SRT8 392.

At the 2013 New York Auto Show, SRT CEO Ralph Gilles told FoxNews.com that an extreme version of the Challenger was in the works, but didn’t offer specifics on what that might entail.

“We get a lot of requests for the Challenger, not so much the Charger, and we’ve been looking at doing an ACR [American Club Racing] edition of that, eventually,” he said. “So we’ll see something along those lines in a couple of years.”

According to Automotive News, the new motor is set to debut next summer in the updated 2105 Challenger, where it will do battle with the supercharged engines in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

I'm going to start saving my pennies now. I might have enough saved up for the 2105 Challenger. I hope I'm still alive then. LOL!

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Thinkg that make you say hummmm!!! :d

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Probably submit it to NHRA as 275 hp?
Jeff will run his in H/SA. LOL

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

I getting one to run SS/JA. Maybe then I can get close to Ed's Firebird.

Bout time. Good luck at getting it passed as a 6.2 . Better late than never though!

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Ha! Come on now. LOL

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Looks like you are running good this year Ed, you need a little competition, lol.

the rumor in motown is the drag pak's are soon to be a memory (the IRS
cant even find out were I found out)

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Surely not!

I thought Chrysler was doing OK?

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

I think that would be good as long as they go back to putting real cars that are in all showrooms back in the class guide the way it was done for 50 years. They are building some cool cars let racers buy one and make it a race car just like they did for years.

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

The drag pak's can be bought buy anyone from their local dealer. We have a couple in whatever flavor you are looking for. lol Now will they be just as fast as the ones we have now? No but what would racing be if you didn't have to improve you combination.

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Dennis, I thought you already had a DP?

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

That 6.2 thing has been there forever. I think it's real. The problem with the racing program with both Ford and Mopar, but especially Mopar is as the company does better, it squeezes the life out of Mopar Performance and other things. They also put more pressure on the dealers for various things. Same old stuff. After 46 years, I have seen it all. But now when these performance divisions could really make an impact on an improving economy, some nitwit starts playing the 'corportate profit' thing. And Ed, you need hp. Just a little note there.

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Ed,

I do have a DP but the supercharged motor in SS/JA would be awesome at 305 HP lol. I don't expect we will see a supercharged DP motor but if it happens I don't think it will be under rated enough to cause you any grief Ed. I'll have to keep working on my 5.7 for now...

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Dennis, after seeing Candies' Hemi Stocker run 135 MPH in SS/JA at Baytown, I don't think you would have any problem handing me my tail. :-)

Maybe you could help Ronnie Terrell get some hp so I could run with him. He has the fastest SS/JA car I know of.

Btw Jeff, I still need to stop by and pick up those two books. :-)

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Ed,

I would be glad to help you out if I get the chance. Your car is pretty bad too, Jeff may be right about you needing a little hp, lol.

Dennis Breeden

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Dennis, if you can't pound my tail really bad with one of those wildly under rated DPs, you need a new hobby. LOL
Candies' DP Hemi stocker went 9.89 in SS/JA earlier this year @ 135 MPH. I know what Lloyd's SS/ IA DP has gone.

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Ed,

You may be right, 312 hp does sound a little on the soft side....

Have a good Memorial weekend!

Dennis Breeden

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

I keep waiting for somebody to build one as a real SS car. May get some power in SS next review. Not many running that engine in SS, so Candies' runs there in SS may be the average. If that car would leave it would be a mid-nine car. It's very fast.

Hope you have a nice weekend too!

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Ed,

I know of one built from the ground up as a SS car, Taylor built 5.7, all the best stuff. Mike Roth has had it for a couple of years, not sure when it will be done but the car will be a show car and should fly. I hope he runs it in H because he will kill the combo in J.

Dennis Breeden

Re: Is This Teuton's New Project?
 

Stockers running J have been extremely fast. A purpose built SS car would be crazy fast. Wish he would run it in I. LOL
