2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat
This 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is finished in one of the most iconic and sought-after colors Dodge ever brought back known as "Plum Crazy Pearlcoat", a bold throwback to the high-impact hues of the early 1970s muscle car era. This particular Hellcat is a one-owner car, showing just around 5,000 original miles, and stands as a clean example of what modern American performance looked like when Dodge decided to throw subtlety out the window and go full-send on power and presence. Under the hood sits the legendary 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V8, pushing out 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, a number that, in 2016, absolutely shattered expectations and sent shockwaves through the muscle car world. It was the most powerful production muscle car of its time, and even today it holds its own among modern exotics. Dodge gave it a dual personality—docile enough for street driving, but fully capable of unleashing chaos at the tap of the gas pedal. With the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, shifts are quick, responsive, and keep the boost building. Launch Control, selectable drive modes (including a full-on Track mode), and the now-infamous red key vs black key system allowed owners to dial in everything from horsepower output to transmission mapping. The wide 275-section Pirellis, massive 15.4” front Brembo brakes, and adaptive suspension gave it handling and braking power that matched its straight-line fury. The interior balanced retro-inspired design with real comfort—heated and cooled seats, performance pages, and all the modern tech of the mid-2010s packed into a cockpit that felt focused but never barebones. What makes this car special isn’t just the numbers—it’s what it represents. The Hellcat wasn't built to please critics or chase lap times; it was built to scare everything else on the road, and look good doing it. And with a color like Plum Crazy—a shade that screams Mopar heritage—paired with single-owner provenance and low mileage, this one feels like a true modern classic. The Challenger may trace its roots back over 50 years, but the Hellcat version rewrote the rulebook when it dropped, and this 2016 example is still every bit as menacing, unfiltered, and brutally charismatic as it was the day it left the showroom.
