In a world full of demons and red eyes, people often forget just how insane the OG 2015 Hellcat really was. So tier are five facts that really put it into perspective. Starting with number one, that 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi V eight could move about 30,000 liters of air every minute, meaning that it could suck all of the air out of a small bedroom in just about sixty seconds. And feeding that monster wasn't cheap either. For number two, Dodge said at full power, the Hellcat could burn through its entire 18.5 gallon fuel tank in roughly thirteen minutes. Yeah. That Hemi is worst. But somehow, it gets even crazier inside the engine because each piston could be hit with around 21,000 pounds of force during combustion, which Dodge compared to having roughly five cars stacked on top of a single piston. And Dodge wasn't taking any chances when it came to reliability or durability either because for number four, each individual Hellcat engine was no tested for forty two minutes at the Saltillo Engine Plant before they ever made their way into a vehicle, which makes a lot of sense considering how people go out and abuse these cars rank they just keep running. But number five is probably the craziest one. Just spinning the Hellcat's 2.4 liter IHI supercharger took 80 horsepower. Think about that. The supercharger alone took more horsepower to spin than some vehicles are able to generate with their engine. And the load was so extreme that SRT engineers had to use special friction washers that included crushed industrial diamonds just to keep the supercharger drive from slipping. No, yeah, the OG Hellcat was absolutely ridiculous.
