Could An All Wheel Drive Hellcat Charger Be In The Works?

We all love a good burnout, as well as an enticing sideways session, but we have to agree with the fact that an all-wheel-drive version of the Hellcat would only add to the value of the badge.

The idea has been floating around ever since Dodge introduced the 707 hp madness, but now a Charger Hellcat was spied altitude testing and there's a chance added front axle traction is the reason why the muscle sedan was being evaluated.

No - it MAY be a 4x4 version of the OLD Hellcat - but NEW it is not.

The question is - is FCA going to continue making "Chrysler" cars? and for how long. THey are already well past their styling expiration date - going back to their Diamler Chrysler days. ANd that old Mercedes platform (Which was old when they first used it) needs tremendous updates at least - and really should be replaced. Problem is - FCA has no new platforms to use.

Sergio was not smart enough to find a platform partner when he took over.

Hyundai-Kia was the obvious choice for FWD, RWD, and AWD in one place.

The Genesis has always been surprisingly good and the second generation is that much better. The Genesis is a better drive than a Ghibli that always reminds you that it's a Chrysler 300 at heart with its yesteryear chassis dynamics.

When will FCA wise-up and sell an RWD or AWD Hellcat Ghibli or Hellcat Quattroporte? That's a car that makes sense.

The engines will fit in the respective bays, but the hoods won't shut. The latter is easily fixable.

Hellcat Ghibli and Qportes are bolt in give that both are essentially Chrysler 300s with the front suspension revised.

Why didn't these tools just get out of their car and look underneath the Charger to confirm if it's AWD?
