"Automotive News is reporting that their Chrysler insiders have confirmed testing of a supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI V8 codenamed &amp;quot;Hellcat.&amp;quot;  Originally appearing in a discussion on Mopar enthusiast site Allpar.com, reports put the engine&amp;#039;s power output is close to the 640 horsepower mark of the Viper&amp;#039;s V10. While it seems unlikely that any production version of the Hellcat would challenge the mighty SRT snake for overall horsepower, anything over 570 hp will put it into the same competitive realm as the Chevy Camaro ZL1 and the Shelby GT500. That&amp;#039;s a good thing.  While the news of another manufacturer creating a high-output supercharged V8 is great news for the promulgating of a horsepower war, this new engine is also being whispered as a last hurrah of all-out-power before the EPA and CAF\u00C9 finally come calling. Hopefully, the knowledge theygain from the big forced-induction mill can be applied down the line to smaller engines in the future.  Original reports seem to place the engine in the SRT8 Challenger in the 2014/15 model year when the car also adopts the new 8-speed automatic for the V8 optioned models; however, it is always worth hoping this engine could sneak into other SRT tuned models like the Grand-Cherokee.  via Automotive News "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
