Slower than the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the Ford GT sits on a wallet that burns $ 500,000 and is almost six times the price of the Hellcat. All the money has to be beaten by the Hellcat.

About car & driver
It looks like it’s time for a fleet of Hellcats! Lamborghini is known for both its luxury and its speed, and the price reflects that. Starting at US $ 421,000, the Lamborghini Aventador S is more than four times as expensive as the Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

On the other side of the pond is the British company Aston Martin. Aston Martin produces a beautiful supercar called the Vantage. The Aston Martin Vantage has an AMG engine with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. It puts out 503 horsepower and 505 lb-ft in James Bond style. However, if you can get the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds, the Challenger Hellcat will outperform it.

Aston Martin’s Vantage starts at $ 139,000. Good luck trying to keep up with this monster! For that kind of money, some serious upgrades could be made to a Hellcat stock.

With the Mercedes-AMG GT R, German engineering tries to keep pace with American muscles. The GT R uses an M718 engine tuned to produce a staggering 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. They bring almost a top speed of 200 km / h to the start, the Mercedes-AMG GT R boasts a meager 14.9 seconds on the quarter mile.
About Top Gear
Starting at US $ 165,000, the Mercedes-AMG GT R is a slow super sports car that takes 1.5 times longer than the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to complete the drag race. And at almost half the price, the Hellcat is twice as much as the Mercedes-AMG GT R.

Audi R8 V10 performance

Audi pitches the R8 V10 Performance against the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A neat upgrade under the hood is the incredible V10 engine that pumps 612 horsepower to the rear wheels. Tony Stark may trust this car to save the world, but it crosses second place with 11.5 seconds on a quarter mile.
Audi’s R8 V10 Performance may be Audi’s front runner, but starting at $ 148,000, the Audi R8 V10 Performance is more expensive and less racy.

Acura NSX
over top speed
The Acura NSX brings Japanese design into the mix. With a unique hybrid electric system, the 3.5-liter V6 with twin turbocharging can produce almost 600 hp. By using lightweight materials such as aluminum and ultra-high strength steel, the NSX offers performance and reduced weight. With a quarter mile time of 11.2 seconds, however, it still does not beat the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Via car connection
The Acura NSX starts at $ 169,500, which is almost twice the price of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and still can’t compete with this American muscle car.

Another entry from across the pond, the Jaguar F-Type SVR, keeps up with Acura, but not the Hellcat! The Jaguar F-Type SVR brings a 5.0-liter turbo V8 engine into the race. With only 567PS and 516lb-ft, the Jaguar F-Type SVR fights in a drag race against the Challenger Hellcat with a time of 11.2 seconds.
About CNET
At $ 123,000, it’s a better deal than most, but still nearly $ 40,000 more than the Hellcat. The Jaguar F-Type SVR is clearly about having money, not about winning drag races.

BMW M5
About Top Gear
The only real challenge for the Challenger Hellcat is the BMW M5. BMW M5 is the super sports car on a competitive level for the Bavarian automobile group. The BMW M5 brings a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 into the race and is a competitor with 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 155 MPH. The race is close, but with 10.9 seconds the BMW M5 is almost 2 seconds behind the Hellcat.

The BMW M5 may be the closest thing to the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in terms of cost, but at $ 103,000, it’s still overpriced! As cheaper as the BMW M5 is compared to the Ford GT, it cannot keep up with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
