Yes, we know; just like brunchfast, “brutiful” is not a real word, but we reckon it best describes our feelings after hearing the brutal yet at the same time, beautiful sounds of the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s supercharged V8, so we’re running with it for now…

Before you run down to hear what the 600+ horsepower V8 from Chrysler sounds like when you stroke the gas pedal, you may want to take a quick look at a list with some of the key numbers that the Detroit carmaker put together in regards to both the standard Challenger SRT and the Hellcat, which will hit showrooms later in the year.
