Its starting U.S. MSRP is $63,995, including a $1,700 gas-guzzler tax.
The Charger SRT Hellcat also earns EPA ratings of 16 mpg in combined-cycle driving, and 13 mpg in the city.

Enhancing its handling capabilities are 15.4-inch Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers – the largest brakes ever offered in a Chrysler Group vehicle. Pirelli P Zero tires on 20 x 9.5-inch wide forged-aluminum wheels with Pirelli P Zero performance tires, and a three-mode adaptive damping suspension.
