As the owner of two Dodge Challengers, the original and a 2008 model, Jay Leno couldn’t ignore the launch of the most powerful Challenger ever, the SRT Hellcat.

The 707hp Dodge Challenger paid Leno a visit along with Dodge President & CEO Tim Kuniskis, who pointed out some interesting things about the muscle car.

The Challenger SRT Hellcat tips the scales at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg), which combined with the 707hp produced by the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine, means that Dodge had to fit the biggest brakes ever mounted on a production Chrysler Group vehicle.

Another interesting point about the car is that engine power can be dialed back to 300 or 500 horsepower, if for some reason the driver feels the need to do so. Find out what else the Challenger SRT Hellcat can do from Jay Leno’s video posted below.
