The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful muscle car on sale in America today, but with the stock 275mm-wide rear tires, traction on a hard launch. The new Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody addresses that issue, adding 305mm-wide tires at all four corners, improving grip on a hard launch and in the corners.

Adding those big, fat tires wasn’t as simple as just mounting up bigger tires on the Hellcat Challenger. To meet internal wheel/tire fitment requirements, the SRT team added composite wheel opening flares, widening the body by several inches and giving the team the space that they needed to install the big rubber out back, Also, the Widebody Hellcat Challenger has a new electric power steering system with different settings, allowing the driver to pick the steering feel which best fits their driving style.

The standard color is bright red, but you can pick black, gunmetal gray or orange for $495. You can also add the engine block heated for $95 – which has to be a fairly unpopular option for the Hellcat cars.
