707hp Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody review: see why it's a BMW M3 slayer!

- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- This is the Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody! When it comes to American muscle cars, they don't come much more recognisable than the Charger, and the Hellcat Widebody is the latest iteration of this American institution! Under the bonnet, you'll find a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 which can kick out 707hp and a whopping 881Nm of Torque! But is it the only American muscle car you should consider?! Join Mat for his latest review to find out!

I like how people are comparing this car to BMW and Mercedes instead of ford and Chevy. Lol
Exactly
Generates more views comparing it to them
blitzy and also there’s nothing coming out of detroit that can compare to this car
@@joelchung2066 I don't follow much American cars but the GT500 seems pretty cool, idk how it compares to this
blitzy i think the GT500 compares more to the dodge challenger demon or hellcat
I think this is one of the best looking American sedans! So muscular and well proportioned! Great review Matt! You should do more American cars! 😉
I can’t believe nobody noticed this comment, love your videos!

Imagine pulling up to your kid’s school in this beast
Wow pervert, you’d like to pickup school girls in this wouldn’t you
Luprez Tryson tf is you talking about 🤔
If you live in america You are the kid pulling up to school in this
Bisceanu Bogdan if your parents buy everything for you
I pick up my kid from school with a Daytona 345 Destroyer Grey color.
Not the Hellcat but close enough - at least for the school part; everyone knows when we are around.
I actually think the front and rear of the Charger looks amazing, especially on the Hellcat. Also, I would really love to see Mat drag race the Charger Hellcat against the Mercedes E63 S, BMW M5 Comp, and the Audi RS7 Performance or Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
@carwow we want this race
The Germans are faster this car does 0-60 in only 3.6
Mr. Meeseeks Good sir 0-60 times are only one factor of many in a drag race
@@SM-1010 actually 3.4 but .2 seconds isn't that big
It would be better in a roll race because of the traction issue
This car gets my seal of approval for no fakery and physical buttons. 👍🏻
Just blank switches on the steering wheel, by the look of it!

Dodge Charger isnt that a Chellenger. Charger was GM. And the Hellcat is actually the Demon with 4 inches added to each side to make it a Hellcat but a Hell Cat is a Dodge Challenger. So this guy is telling u about the right car wrong Name. I no mine cost me 94,000
@@tomwiseman7770 Can't tell if you're joking or not.
@@stephenhancock6497 I can't even tell what he's saying
707 horsepower, 196 top speed for $80,000. You can't get that from any other factory stock car in the world. Sure Mercedes and BMW might be faster but they're also $120,000+
@@hg2blackcat411 actually the Mercedes AMG GT goes 198 miles per hour this only goes 196. The Benz is 2 miles per hour faster but it cost about 80,000 more
@Im Rosin Not even close, the only reason why ANY European car is a show stealer is cause when people look at them the only thing that comes to their mind is the price, so practically theyre just status symbols. European car brands have demonstrated multiple times that they have no idea (or simply dont give a shit) to make a proper car for the average person. Europe makes nothing that competes with the Charger. 4 door V8 sedan starting around $40K. Take your pick, for the same price, let that be any price, the US brands simply kick the ass of Eurobrands in all performance, quality, maintenance. The only people that disagree with this are the top gear uk brainwashed fanboys. And you heard this from a European who lives in the EU.
@@DesertStateNevada Much needed wake up call here. The average Joe in Europe does not even for one second consider buying a V8 sedan that consumes two Iraqs per mile. People here buy hatchbacks or compact SUVs for the most part. And with the fuel cost here, your 40-50k muscle car actually needs to compare to a 70k Benz due tot he massive difference in efficiency. (And we do calculate cost of ownership before buying a car)

Im so happy he's reviewing American cars
Mayito1990 me too
same, I generally prefer the European luxury cars, but I enjoy the comparisons. Love to see a Carwow muscle car drag race.
Business wise, their assuming that once Brexit is done and a new deal with the US is done, a new type of products will have more ease of access into our market, such as this type of cars. Therefore, best things best for them is, stay ahead of the game.. marketise, marketise and more marketising...
Its not that dip man
@@TC-qw3lr I enjoy comparisons too, but this to an M3 is a really dumb comparison.
It's not even an M3 competitor. It's a full size sedan, it's competing with an E63 or M5. You're looking at totally the wrong segment.
Yup. E63S and M5 both walk rings and circles around this too.
Exactly. The 392 Charger is more of a fair comparison to an M3. The Hellcat blows the doors off M5s and E63s straight line performance wise.
@@ARDEN440i I don't think so, we need some drag races
I think he meant as it is £60,000
@@ARDEN440i M5 destroys the Demon in terms of straight line performance look up M5 Competition vs Dodge Demon by Throttle House.
Hellcat is MUCH slower than the E63S or M5 on a straight.
The maroon color really accents the look of this vehicle.
The car has so much presence that any color would look good.
@@jahimuddin2306 I agree. I woud go for something crazy like bright yellow or orange with black stripes
this and F8 green are the way to go
We need a drag race hellcat with M5 comp & E63s .. it’s un urgent case ! Come on mat u can do it 💪🏼

Hellcat wins from a roll.
Germans win from a dig.
Damn, this is a beautiful car. I don't think I mind the interior too much as others are pointing out. The leather and stitching looks pretty good as well as the instrument cluster. That's all that really matters, and the 700 hp. I think I'm in love.
There's something endearing about American cars like this. Cheap interiors, handling that's okay at best but with massive horsepower. It's so irrational to like something like this and yet I absolutely love it!
I love it too, in a world where everyone is so serious about emissions, driving tech, EVs and luxury, its nice to have a car brand exist just to make me laugh
Ikr it sums up America perfectly.
I had a E92 335i with manual transmission. Spent a lot of money modding it... and fixing it. Now I have a 17 SS 1LE. I don't miss my BMW at all
Plus one more thing. Wait four years and you will be able to buy this same car for $30,000. There is no better automotive value on the planet than a used North American vehicle. Period.
Samuel O Lee lmao find me a hellcat for 30k lol you can get a ten year old srt8 for 30k
British guy :" SRT BADGE WITH A AN ANGRY ANIMAL I ASSUME ITS A HELLCAT"😔
American GUY: " ITS A HELLCAT!."
😂😂😂
It's definitely one angry animal lol
Remember this isn’t about LUXURY! This is a car built for performance, fun. So no doubt on luxury features 👍
When u paid that kinda of money.. you kinda expected that luxury, not cheap thing u can get in $20k cars
You have maybe automatic windows or heated seats (heated seats are a 50% doubt because this car wouldn’t be in snow because it is American)
I think for that price you should get some luxury, like what a 50k car would have but not a 25k car
the most thick widebody ever 😳
No Burnout or Launch come MAT i know you wanted too
The tires are too expensive to sacrifice, IMHO.
uk has petrol but u k wants to f u for it. as usual. BMW? you gotta be kidding.. when u can get chargers and challengers cheaper ?

Ou yeah he did, i also watched it lol
both videos were shot in michigan so i say dodge flew them to review the 2020 charger. or at least both cars have michigan plates

@@redmatt Why?
Ha ha, if i had this car i would go and do a burnout outside her window!!! :D
Had an SRT (not hellcat) version one of these in the States this year and it is a genuine beast. That car has around 300bhp less than this and that still sounded amazing and went like stink, I’d love this car. Great review too Mat
Simply put, there’s no replacement for that beautiful V8 music. I don’t need it, but I want one.
We didn't even watch it yet but we in the comment section
alll cars101 speak for yourself
Those stripes make me uncomfortable in my trousers...
They suit the challenger better, I'll give you that
Extra 30 hp
It’s so funny to see a British testing an American Muscle car..
I really like this video! Finally an unbias, honest review. Great job doing this video!!
Mat:it isn't fuelefficent.
The charger:what does that mean?
I would say it’s more like a M5 competitor.
Yes, the price is the main difference
M5 is far more luxurious, faster, can go around corners etc. You get what you pay for
M50B25 Turbo yes! It would be interesting to race this Hellcat and M5 from 100 to 200kmh, I wonder who would be faster
time toshow probably M5 since it’s 300kgs lighter and better transmission
The only thing the Hellcat has on the M5 is a far lower price point,
And that's about it.
Don't forget you can't buy these in the UK unless you have the money to import these so M3 owners won't have to worry about coming up against these very often
Hey Matt & CarWow team! Great idea on reviewing US cars! Looking forward to see the Lincoln reviews (Nautilus and Aviator) and see how they stand up to the German luxury SUVs.
Good review Mat, but I wouldn't say forced induction with a turbo is free energy, as each cilinder needs to work a bit extra during the exhaust stroke to overcome increased pressure drop over the turbine, but compared to a supercharger definitely
Do Dodge Challenger
Same thing but with two doors and classic styling
@@kace002pumpkinwizard got the same engine?
Welcome to the comments
60% people are arguing with each other which is better m5 or charger
40% talking about how Doug demuro uploaded video just day ago of the same car.
Tsalonen Doug can take a long walk off a short pier. Please.
it should be compared to m5 not m3
Bunch of children bickering over cars they'll never own.

@I like frogs . bmw has less hp THEN DODGE WHICH MAKES THE bmw TRAHS LMAO
The only car channel thats fun to watch
So glad you came to the US to review some of our cars! Love your reviews and this channel!
Finally ➡️ The Charger
Love your Channel ! I would suggest to show the stats in the metric system also as subtitles (Doug Demuro style)
Much Love
I love this car 😍😍😍and the red eye challenger
The chassis actually dates back to 1995 as the LX platform is based on the W210 E-Class
I'd love to own one of these. Good power, good value and that V8 sound. Is what it's all about.
Litrally in every video there is a reference to an Audi 😂 “...not as good as something like Audi...”
Thanks for doing the review I love these cars
Did you mean M5 ? Love you guy’s videos, keep up the work!
It’s great that America has so much cheap petrol, they are so lucky they have so much oil.
Yeah but look at the quality... you get 87 petrol there and the People will Buy it.... in America you Trade quality for cheapness
Fabio Heinen yeah, very true
Fabio Heinen we get 97 and 100+
What is 87, 97, 100+ petrol?
Imported oil*
Not theirs at the first place
Stunning spec and so powerful!

Make sure to go in the Challenger Demon and do a 1/4 mile in it
There is no way I couldn't subscribe. More than the cars in the reviews. This guy is the best.
I love this car so much, it is new but yet he function of it looks just classic but still modern, also very powerful and awesome looking! great job Dodge, i wish i could buy one...at least in the future
8:34 hey mat, can u say it in l/100km for the German viewer's? And when u talking about topspeed maybe the km/h? That would be nice 😊
M GmbH Or you could just work it out.
Got to defend @M Gmbh here, Britain is almost the only European country that use it so it would be good for the whole continent.
@Daniel Hernandez I grew up with the metric system and its hard for me to learn another. Actually I bought a car in GB so it's got miles and mpg on the tachometer but I still got no clue 😂
315 kph top speed
I'm from Canada and we (not officially) use both KPH and MPH. Just multiply miles per hour X 1.61 and you get KPH. "Jeez Bye, she ain't rocket surgery"
Is it a coincidence that Carwow and Doug Demuro's most recent videos are the review about the Hellcat Widebody?🤔
of course note, they could only release them today/yesterday
It's based on a 2005 Dodge which is itself based on a late 90's Mercedes W210. In fact I can confirm after hiring a SRT model it handled just like my 1999 E300 Turbodiesel and has the same classic foot pedal brake! True they were hoping to upgrade by using the Alfa Giulia platform but that turned out to be too small to fit the huge V8's. So good job FCA for giving us a decent muscle car in a classic Mercedes soul!
If there’s anyone out here in this sector with the most practical and sarcastic car reviews it’s surely gotta be this man.
That offset on the wheels looks wicked🔥.
He should review the 797hp redeye! Love that I can buy a car with the same power as 7 figure cars for only 5 figures lol
I love the background. Really suits the car :)
This is my dream car 🤤That widebody looks so good
Matt I guess everyone would love watching you drive the corvette zr1, Camaro zl1 and some Cadillacs 😘
People fail to realize that if u want a 707 horsepower Benz or BMW or anything, will cost you $100,000+. This car is unbelievable for the price tag. They buy it for the power. Not the dashboard plastic
Performance to price the Germans can't match it. It's cheaper on the inside to make the vehicle more accessible for more people.
Supercharged HEMI i totally agree that the quality on the inside isn’t as good. But people don’t care. They care ab speed lol
Supercharged HEMI your average driver shouldn’t be driving something this powerful and also RWD. It’s dangerous if your not experienced
Warren you press the gas around a corner, ur screwed if ur not careful
@@ericbarner21 i think people care about that since nobody want to buy Dodge anywere in the world except USA
Gotta say, this is my fav. And LOOK AT THAT SPEC!!!!
It’s just like Lightning Mcqueen!!

I just want to congratule everyone on their holidays!

I drove one of these for a couple of years and recently sold it. Our friends from the UK came over and fell in love with it. It is an awesome machine overall. It can handle but it's not nimble due to the footprint and weight. I'm replacing it with a Tesla on order.
FYI. the Dodge Charger - Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 are built in Brampton Ontario, Canada
Great exterior but that nasty interior...
mike a and are still better, American car interiors are made of plastic only. A VW Golf gti has a nicer interior than the Dodge
how can you not complain about that interior? it looks like it's 10 years old. inside is where you spend most of the time with it. otherwise it looks cool af outside.
Imagine this engine in RS4 or RS5 :O
This is probably the only car in the world that i would really want to drive before i die and if i never drive this car until i die im not gona die peacefully
