Dodge Unveils Hellcat Models, Most Power Muscle Cars in History
The most powerful muscle cars in American history are coming to Arkansas, and they will only be at Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Little Rock! Introducing the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, both with 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Hellcat models boast the most powerful V8 engine in the world, a 6.2L Supercharged Hemi, and the third most powerful engine period, only behind a Bugatti Veyron and a Ferrari F12.
The Hellcat models come with two keys: one that unlocks just 500 horsepower, and the other that unlocks the full 707 horsepower. Valet mode can also be activated, further reducing horsepower and hampering other driving settings.
The Hellcat models have also spent time in the wind tunnel, and include aerodynamic features like side sills and a rear spoiler. Standard features include 20-inch aluminum wheels and Pirelli tires.
The Hellcat includes a 7-inch customizable display in the gauge cluster and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen in the center stack. Leather seats will keep you comfortable during your drive.
The coupe 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the fastest two-door muscle car ever, with a quarter-mile time of 10.8 seconds and a top speed just shy of 200 mph. The Challenger Hellcat can climb to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, and we expect the price to start just under $60,000.
The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the world's only four-door muscle car and can reach a top speed of 204 mph. The Charger has a quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds, and will reach 100 mph in less than 13 seconds. We are still waiting to hear more information about pricing of the Charger Hellcat.
The Hellcat models can burn through fuel quickly, emptying their entire tank in just 13 minutes at full power, but under normal driving conditions, the engines can maintain up to 20 highway mpg.
Are you excited about these two all-new models? Check out this highlight reel of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat:

Steve Landers Sr. Accepts ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Donates for Likes
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has swept the nation recently, and at Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Little Rock, Arkansas, we're proud to help support a great cause like the ALS Association.
Steve Landers Sr. -- BIG, as we like to call him -- agreed to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge in honor and memory of his friend Rita Arrington, who passed away in 2011 due to ALS.
"She was a very good person, and it was a terrible disease and I think it's something we shouldn't have to go through," Landers said in front of a crowd outside his Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership on Colonel Glenn in Little Rock.
But Steve went one step further -- for every like that Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and the video get on Facebook through August 31, Steve will donate $1 to the ALS Association.
"I don't know much about the Internet, but I know my sons told me to say this," Landers said, "but if we get a like, $1 goes to ALS awareness."
Steve wrapped up his challenge by challenging Frank Fletcher of Frank Fletcher Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Sherwood, Arkansas, to do the same.
"I'm going to challenge Frank Fletcher to sit outside his store and let somebody pour water on him," Landers said.
Watch BIG's Ice Bucket Challenge below, and make sure you like the video, as well as Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram's Facebook page, to make a difference in ALS research.

Second Annual Arkansas Top Jeep Competition Coming Oct. 4
Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, the Arkansas Jeep Owner Society, Blackmon Auto Auction and Drive Arkansas present the second annual Top Jeep Competition, coming to Little Rock on Saturday, Oct. 4.
Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the event gets started at 9 a.m. Admission is free to watch, and to enter the competition is $10. There is also a raffle to win a Jeep rock crawler, and tickets are $20 each.
The day will begin with a show of all the Jeeps entered into the competition. An obstacle course will open around 10:30, and will include obstacles and terrain for Jeeps both big and little, stock and modified.
Around 300 Jeeps are expected to enter the competition this year.
"The whole idea is to try and get everybody in the Jeep community together and have a big event in Arkansas," said Joel Baker, organizer of the competition.
The proceeds from the event will benefit 4 Wheel to Heal, an organization that allows disabled and wounded veterans to participate in off-roading events like four-wheeling, rock crawling and camping.
"4 Wheel to Heal will call Arkansas Jeep Owners Society to come pick [the veteran] up and take him, whether it's to Moab or to the Hot Springs off-road park, to get him out of the hospital and spend the day four wheeling with him," Baker said. "It's a lot of fun and it really helps these guys get the motivation to get back up and get mobile again."
Jeeps of all sizes are welcome, and there are three categories to enter in:
- Show and Shine -- showroom model Jeeps with few to no modifications
- Trail Rigs -- lifted Jeeps modified for off-road exploring
- Trailer Queens -- off-road only Jeeps that are made only for trails
The top two finishers in each category will be awarded a trophy.
"Stop by and check it out," Baker said. "Somebody's going to leave with a Jeep."
For more information, contact Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, the Arkansas Jeep Owners Society or Blackmon Auto Auctions through Facebook, or email Joel Baker at arkansasjeepowners@yahoo.com.

The Dodge Brothers Company was established in 1900 as an auto parts manufacturer, and began producing its own vehicles in 1915. Since then, they have produced icons such as the Caravan, Challenger and Charger.
There was only one way for Dodge to rebrand itself and set its vehicles apart in performance: pack in even more features than ever before. Here are some highlights of each new Dodge model:
The 2015 Dodge Challenger is completely new inside and out, and has more people talking all across the nation than any other sports car. The Hellcat models have 707 horsepower and are the most powerful production cars in American history.
The 2015 Dodge Charger is completely new inside and out too. This is the most powerful four-door car in the world and has a top speed of 200 mph. The Charger is also available as a Hellcat with 707 horsepower.
A newer model only in production since 2013, the Dodge Dart is bold and stands out with its sporty looks, sculpted lines and full-width LED taillights. You'll be impressed at the pump too, with up to 41 highway mpg.
Does you family settle for ordinary? You won't have to with the Dodge Durango, which is the sportiest large SUV on the market. You'll get best-in-class towing and an eye-catching exterior with plenty of luxury still inside.
Again, why make your family settle for ordinary when you don't have to? With the Dodge Grand Caravan, you can tow up to 3,600 pounds with 283 horsepower. The long-time leader in the minivan segment, this is the clear choice.
Finally, the Dodge Journey is one of the most innovative SUVs out there. We've incorporated storage anywhere we could find, and included what's been named one of the ten best engines out there. While you're at it, travel 500 miles on one tank!
