The concept is equipped with a 12.3-inch center touchscreen canted 10 degrees toward the driver, complemented with the usual array of performance apps found in current Hellcat models. A curved 16-inch display serves as the instrument cluster and provides plenty of real estate for all the information needed in a performance vehicle.
