love how he does commentary. points out the negative without humiliating the car. shows all sides of owning one. pros and cons.

I've had my Hellcat since 2015 and am amazed every time I drive it

Sometimes, Rory's genius actually creates gravity. 😂😉

And at 2.7L, the supercharger alone is bigger than most passenger cars' in Europe!

As a hellcat owner, I didn't realize how massive the car was until I bought it home and parked it in the garage next to my wife's MB and its actually wider and longer.

Keep making content about muscle cars in the UK. They're fun to watch. You should rev the car on the streets 😆

I’ve just got back from the states last week,where I rented an SRT straight from the airport. The first thing I did was stop off at a Seven11, bought a pack of Marlboro lights, a Zippo and played “It’s so easy by Willie DeVille whilst cruising down the I95 headed westward. I literally felt like Kurt Russell.

Hellcat is a blast to drive and sliding around corners in this thing is effortless. Gonna miss it and the legendary whine from the supercharger.

Hooligan car at its best ! Well under engineered American car. 10 miles a gallon and 2 sets of rear tires per season. We absolutely love this car !!

Finally someone that has done a proper uk drive in a hellcat thank you!

3:10 "I'm an actual genius" Top Gear energy 😂

Boss move in the drive-thru. This car is a literal middle finger to everyone and everything. 'MERCA 🇺🇲

The rear seats actually fits americans so I was surprised when Rory said they were useless

That was fun to watch. I still smile when I see one on the road. It's so old school muscle compared to current cars.

Drove the normal Challenger down the West coast of the US in 2017. It was great fun but wanted the V8. Didnt seem that big then but the roads are HUGE. Still want a Hellcat despite the drawbacks in the UK.

American Muscle is easily my favorite type of vehicles. Love the way they look, sound, and perform. Nothing but pure badass. These rides are quite expensive here in N.Z, that said I have seen quite a few Charger & Challenger Hellcats around. Can't help but notice them 🇺🇲💪

MPG is based on the US 3.8L gallon on that trip computer. You need to add 20% to get the equivalent UK rating.

What a sensational machine 🤩

I had that on Road America right after driving an NSX. actually thought the redeye was more of a hoot than the NSX.

Amazing beast , thanks for a great review 🔥🔥🔥

This car is really fun to drive, but unfortunately it’s almost impossible to own a car like this in most European countries. In the Netherlands you pay a registration tax called bpm. The bpm on this car is €125k! You basically pay the car’s price twice there. In Belgium (Flemish region) you pay ≈ €20k first year and then €6100 annually! In France it’s ≈€54k one time tax. No annual road tax. And then you have the UK with £2605 1st year, £570 for 5 years and then £180. UK petrolheads are so lucky 😔

For a 2 door car, the challneger’s rear seat are not “next to useless”. They are quite spacious. Tons of legroom back there

You're the best man!👍🏾

Great video as always by Rory

3:40 the reaction from that McDonald's employee is what this car is all about.

This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye. That intro alone❤️made my day

I love my Redeye, the Corsa intake i recently put on really woke up the cars supercharger whine.

‘A fancy Ronge Raver’ 😂😂

Love the video! For all those in the comments in the UK and elsewhere. The yellow protectors on the front of Challengers and Chargers were intended for shipping. Some people in the US intentionally keep the guards on for the look. Dodge even changed the protectors to pink and some still choose to keep them on the front of the cars. It's a personal preference. A lot of people do remove them though.

Had a 5.7 RT with I think 370 bhp on holiday in the US last year and that made me smile non stop like a Cheshire Cat. This one at 790 would probably give me a grin big enough to split my cheeks from ear to ear!

I loved this video. Driving through the drive-thru in reverse is brilliant! Also, as an American who lives in Detroit, Incan tell you I NEVER tire of seeing or hearing Challengers. They kick so much ass, it’s ridiculous. Is it the fastest muscle car? No… that would be a Camara ZL1. But for me, the Challenger looks the best (even if it is scary as hell to drive. My friend has one and it breaks traction on the expressway at 70 mph).

The filming of this video is just perfect 👌

I think the widebody scat pack is really the sweet spot. All the looks and extra tires, and still enough power to have fun along with the extra fuel economy compared to a hellcat or demon.

This supercharger noise its just my new alarm clock sound. To this i would wake up with a smile on my face whatever time of a night. ❤

I have had 911 turbos, BMW M5s, and many other sports cars. The Hellcat put a smile on my face each and every time that I got behind the wheel. It was the most fun car to drive that I have ever owned, and I am looking to buy a Redeye soon.

I have a Challenger and all the practicality comments really hit home 🫠

I have the Redeye Charger version. It's rolling acceleration is stunning. I know EV can be quick... but the noises are the story here.

Never thought about the fact that such a car is "Exotic" in Europe... Awesome!

Whether red eye or a basic challenger I always said if I had a dollar for every challenger I’ve seen on the streets I could buy a challenger. It used to be a special moment seeing these on the street. Too many people have a challenger, but can’t deny it’s a sexy car

One of the greatest cars of the modern era. Will be sorely missed once they're gone. God bless the United States 🇺🇸

Have an almost brand new Shaker Super Track Pak and now waiting for my " Hellcat Jailbreak Lastcall Widebody Challenger"!

These cars never made sense but i still love them!

While it is true that there are Challengers everywhere here in the US, most of them are the base model, a good bit are the V8 (292, Scat Pack), and then you have a few Hellcats and even fewer of these monsters. I was fortunate enough to spend a day out at Radford (formerly Bondurant) Racing School in Arizona behind the wheel of a Hellcat. It is absurd in the best way possible. The supercharger whine is intoxicating, and in case you doubt Rory on the handling, I can confirm that a car that big and that heavy has no business going around an Autocross course that fast...yet it does.

Love my redeye charger here in the states, a truly special experience.

Really good video thank you

Rory. Reversing through the drive through was absolute Genius 💯.

I've been too busy the last few days and I missed my favorite car host The king of Auto cars Rory I've a good cup of tea and here we go 🎉🎉🎉

Say what you will about refinement and all that...the hellcat placed itself in the automotive history books for it's utter absurdity and rawness. It's a car that produces smiles and chills.

Rory, brilliant on the drive thru! 🍔 Just got a ‘23 Durango Hellcat and I’m lovin’ it 😉

Great video, earned my sub for sure😂

I CANNOT BELIEVE they're stocking one in black, in preference to "Plum Krazy" or "Go Mango." Nice to see 14 colors available on this. I didn't like ANY of 5 the colors when ordering my GT-R, and I think my M5 was only available in 6-8.

I love the reaction of you just cruising

Another great review.

Best sounding car I've ever heard❤

Its hard to imagine how good looking and aggressive this thing is until you look at one from close.

Love it, what fun and value to be had.

Beautiful machine! You forgot to remove the packing on the splitter, it’ll scratch the matte paint

My gudness videography is on next level 🙏🏻💪🏻

As a North American, I always drooled over the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst. Can’t get those here in Canada 🇨🇦. Those dodges are super common but mostly the cheaper V6 versions.

Best review ever seen

Roush supercharger on the 4.6 3v is my all time favorite. My brother used to have a 2008 roush 428r. Miss that thing. Cars have gone absolutely insane in the past 15 years.

RORY..... you're still the best car reviewer out there at the moment, HOWEVER...... you know Matt Watson from CARWOW reversed through a drive through with a left hand drive first😂 and dude!! You've got an app to listen out for sirens 😮 what the heck man, you should be able to be paying attention to all around you😂 That said. AWESOME REVIEW YET AGAIN. WELL DONE

in Texas , never tired of seeing a Hellcat !

ngl that reverse in the drive through was smooth

Well done, salute!

Yes I was thinking my zl1 would stand out so much over there as well. Just wide and beastly. Hell....it gets out of eyes here in the states, I could imagine over there in Europe.

Reversing through the drive-thru is actually genius

Firstly I must admit am a Mustang(generally a Ford) fan but the Challenger is the "image" of muscle car!.whenever you hear muscle car this beast comes to mind!.I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love my redeye, such a fun car to drive!

I just love that supercharger whine

I see these alot in America, but I never get tired of the crazy looks

We figured out the reverse to the service window in the early 80s Guess we were ahead of the game . 😁

I always get a kick out of watching the Brits review our Murican muscle. 😂😂

Hello!!! This is an American Pure Monster!!!! Size, 6.2l, supercharged!!!!! Amazing! Many thanks for these presentation. Have a great continuation and see U. 😉👍👍👍❤

I've got a 2017 White Knuckle Hellcat with satin black wrapped bonnet, roof, bootlid and mirrors and white/black 5 spoke 22" wheels. It started out as the "humble" 707 hp spec version, but before it left the States it had what was by then, the fairly common upgrades of pulley wheel replacements (so the supercharger spins faster), larger injectors, exhaust change and remap and was dyno'd out at slightly over 800hp on Super Unleaded, according to the print-out that came with it. So about the same as this Red Eye. I already had an older Challenger SRT8 I thought I'd never sell, but watching a re-run episode of the Grand Tour with Hammond in the red one in Italy sealed it. Traded in the SRT8, sold a kidney, took out a bank loan I couldn't afford and bought it at EXACTLY the right time, sight unseen (other than photos) at the start of lockdown when prices crashed. Too crazy for the UK? Absolutely. Would make as much sense as your only vehicle as wearing wellington boots to go paddling in the sea. Too wide. Too cumbersome. Can't use it for drive-throughs (reversing is NOT an option - just park up and walk in FFS!) and multi-storey carparks with pay barriers either. Won't fit round the tight turns in most multi-storeys anyway, let alone in a standard carpark space. Just too much car. Undriveable in the Winter, it would probably dissolve in the salt anyway - build quality is, at best, "questionable". And to drive it on narrow country lanes with traffic coming the other way is a bowel-loosening experience. Believe me. I did. Once. Do I regret it? Will I ever sell it? No and HELL no... Has character and charisma in spades. Many, many spades. It stops traffic wherever it goes (NOT the reason I bought it) and I get nothing but thumbs-up's and big grins wherever I go. Borrowed a friend's Ferrari once for the day and actually got spat at. Literally. It's such a CARTOON of a car in the UK, everyone loves it. Except the lady who extended her right hand as I approached her in a High Street once, who rolled her eyes, extended her arm and waggled her little finger, suggesting (I presume) the willy size of the driver (sadly true) and the need to offset it with such a ludicrous "Look at Me" statement. Which is - again - NOT the reason I bought it. The looks, the noise - and yes, the grunt - although most of it is bar-room b*ll*cks anyway. A well-driven RS3 (or most other modern hot hatches) would leave me for dust on anything but a long straight road - and 2 tons of inert Canadian steel (sorry to bust the "Detroit" bubble, folks, but that's where mine and very other one was actually nailed together) gets out of shape VERY easily if you are anything less than absolutely respectful to it at ALL times. Years ago, someone else warned me of a Capri 2.8i I'd bought but not yet collected (now THAT dates me) that if I didn't drive it with respect, I'd end up in a ditch. With this - you'd end up over the ditch, through the hedge, across the field and into the tree on the other side of it. KZfaq has plenty vids of of US Hellcat owners thinking they could floor the throttle even some way down a dragstrip, and finding out the hard way - they couldn't. Unless they REALLY fancied a tank-slapper, usually ending up in the wall. But that's not the point. Every time I drive it - which is most weekends in the summer - it's an event. It handles (for such a big, heavy car) surprisingly well. I leave it in "Eco" mode most of the time (yes, really) - I find the 500bhp it's "limited" to more than adequate most of the time, shock, horror. Some guy tested his standard 707hp version in eco mode here on the Tube just out of curiosity (look it up) and got around 5.3 seconds 0-60 - so it's not exactly sluggish. Get mid 20's mpg at 75 on the motorway too (8 speed auto, it's pulling about 1500rpm so a little over tickover) - although Rory is right about the 15mpg bit knocking about. But every now and again - just for the sheer f*ck-offness of it, when the road, traffic and weather conditions are right, I put it in track mode and hoon it (respectfully!!) - and all hell breaks loose. Genuine laugh-out-loud moments still - and you are an awfully long time dead. It's (by a country mile) the biggest self-indulgence I've ever had - and I have to drive something of a sh*tter as my daily (compared to what I could otherwise have) to cover/justify it - but... its been worth every penny. Genuinely love the ol' girl.

Awesome! This car is an action hero.

While the SXT and GT are common here in Canada because of the optional awd, the Hellcats, let alone the R/Ts are a sight to behold!

That is an insane car but agree with Rory, it will turn heads

I've been driving some type of black 2023 Dodge Challenger base model for a week now. A rental car. Because it was the car they had left. It is worth every extra penny I'm paying for it. I'm enjoying it so much it brought me here. This Hellcat would be insanely cool to drive!

Best host in the universe!

That drive thru part was hilarious, why didn't I think of this?😂

Rory always roars. 🦁

“Has anyone ever thought of this before?” Yeah, only every JDM owner in North America ever 😂

Looks amazing around all those little baby cars though 😍

As an American, these cars have had the same chassis and body panels since 2007, but the engine is cool

That crazy whine sound reminds me of begining of I am Legend movie :D

How is rory still not at a millions subs???

I liked the drive through part lol also a better way to launch it is upgrading the tires. Those all season dont work for all that power

My neighbor has one. He has it parked outside. It’s plum crazy (purple) I thought it was just a Hellcat but I didn’t realize it was a Redeye until recently. He daily drives it. Rain or Shine.

Getting my second Challenger in 2 Days. It is not a Hellcat but i am happy with a Scat Pack Widebody in Destroyer Grey too 😍

3:44 that old lad was flabbergasted 🤣😂🤣😂

I still don't get how rangerovers get through london traffic... But if there is space in the UK for buses thn this too can fit... maybe

I’d go for the Dodge Charger Hellcat as a daily as it has the same engine and 4 doors. I had a Cadillac years ago and regularly reversed round the McDonalds drive thru. Reversing out of car parks with barriers was more tricky though. 😂😂😂

Rory, excellent parking; who pays for the rear tyres?

😂😂😂 very smooth, the genius part 😂

I think no one will challenge Rory for driving a Challenger in London. No pun intended 😂

Rory is the David Attenborough of cars and engines and power

I like your style of reviewing a car

Drive Thru bit was funny LOL

what a beautiful car!
