This modern-day interpretation of classic muscle cars from the 1960s comes standard with a 3.6-litre V6 engine. A trio of HEMI V8 engines are also available, none more potent than the supercharged 6.2-litre unit nicknamed “Hellcat.” Found in SRT models, the latter generates up to 807 horsepower. This is the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 and it’s the ultimate modern muscle car.

The steroidal supercharged 6.2-liter needs E85 gasoline to make full power, and that 170-proof ethanol fuel mixture inspires its namesake. Even with 91-octane gas, the 170 still makes an insane 900 horses. Jump behind the wheel and gain the ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in only 1.66 seconds, a time that many cars and drivers could only dream of.
