If being super-fast on a straight-line counts, then Dodge has hit the jackpot with its new 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat that completes the 0-60mph (96km/h) in 3.7 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds and tops out at 204mph (328km/h).

It shares its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 HEMI with the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat producing the same 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. (880Nm) of torque.

According to Dodge, these numbers make it "the quickest, fastest, most powerful production sedan in the world, as well as the most capable and technologically advanced four-door muscle car in America".

While we don’t know of any other regular production sedan with more ponies than the Charger Hellcat, the 600PS (592hp) and 700Nm (516 lb-ft) BMW M5 30th Anniversary Edition might match its standard sprint time, as it has a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.9 seconds. However, we won’t know for sure unless BMW releases a 0-60mph time. Plus, the BMW is a limited edition version. The regular 552hp (560PS) M5 loses hands down with a 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds.

During the presentation, Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis said that the Charger SRT Hellcat weighs about 100 pounds more than the respective Challenger at around 4,660 lbs (2,114 kg) with a 54:46 weight distribution, but he noted that the extra weight actually helps the car start better in the quarter mile sprint, with the sedan timed at 11 seconds vs the coupe's 11.2 second run.

In comparison, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 runs the 1/4 mile in 11.96-seconds at 117 mph (188 km/h), the 2014 Viper SRT GTS in 11.4 seconds and the last Corvette ZR1 in 11.4 seconds.

The Charger SRT Hellcat also returns a 0-100-0 mph (0-160km/h-0) time of under 13 seconds

Dodge's super sedan is available exclusively with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission with 160 millisecond shifts with rev-matching.

It comes with two key fobs, with the red one unleashing all 707-horses and the black one, limiting power to 500hp. For those of you who don't trust other people with your car, there's a special Valet mode that is activated and deactivated via a four-digit PIN, offering the following vehicle configurations:

Engine is remapped to significantly reduce horsepower and torque; limited to 4,000 rpm
Transmission locks out access to first gear and upshifts earlier than normal
Transmission will treat the manual shifter position the same as the drive position
Traction, steering and suspension are set to their “Street” settings
Steering-wheel paddle shifters are disabled
Drive Mode functions are disabled
Electronic stability control (ESC) is enabled to Full-on
Launch Control is disabled

Notable upgrades include the 390-mm (15.4-inch) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers on the front and 4-piston calipers at the back, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels with 275/40ZR Pirelli P Zero performance tires and the adaptive damping three-mode suspension.

Besides wearing the facelifted Charger's body and renewed interior, the SRT Hellcat gets a few elements of its own, including a power-bulge aluminum hood with additional dual air extractors, a unique blacked out front grille, sculpted bumpers, a rear diffuser and boot spoiler. On the inside, there's a sports steering wheel with paddle shifters, body-hugging seats, and different trim decors.

Sales of the new Charger SRT Hellcat will start in the first quarter of 2015 at an as of yet, undisclosed price, but it should be close to the $60,000 asking MSRP for the Challenger SRT Hellcat. Dodge CEO also contested rumors that production will be limited to 1,200 units.

And it is the law. Literally. Is this the scariest pursuit vehicle in the world?

This is the new 2015 Dodge Charger police car, and you have the right to remain silent.

Not only does it look properly terrifying - monster front bull-bars, sinister projector-beam headlights and a streamlined silhouette - but, as a true American cop car should, it comes with a socking great V8.

You can, of course, get the Charger police car with the ‘Pentastar' V6 (292bhp, 260lb ft torque), but any self-respecting US police force will want the V8 version. Specifically the 5.7-litre, HEMI-engined V8 with 370bhp, 390lb ft of torque and a 0-60mph time of less than six seconds.

Fast enough to give the majority of road-bound crims food for thought. Then there's the reinforced RWD chassis, featuring performance suspension, load-levelling shocks, heavy duty brakes, stabiliser bars all round, 18-inch performance tyres, and - officially the Best Thing Ever - steel wheels.

Inside you get, officer, a new seven-inch full-colour (sorry, color) instrument cluster, police-spec front seats (to better hold officers' belt-mounted gear and felon-absorbing waistlines) and the ability to customise your ride with the help of Mopar.

Sadly customisations don't include multi-coloured grenade racks or machine guns in the headlights or oil slicks on the rear or revolving numberplates. Partly because it's not 1964, and partly because Mopar isn't run by five-year olds or Top Gear.

Rather, you get the option of bolstering the electrical performance of the car, add new graphics, ballistic door panels for the driver and passenger, and steel seat back inserts for the driver in case perps in the back become... agitated.

Has 707 bhp (527 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880Nm) of torque.

Dodge has released new footage of the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat.

While the first clip blares Mötley Crüe, the second video provides a detailed look at the upcoming model. The latter video also eschews the music and lets us hear the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 707 bhp (527 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880Nm) of torque.

As we reported yesterday, the Charger SRT Hellcat is being billed as the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world." Detailed performance specifications haven't been released but Dodge says the car will run the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 204 mph (328.3 km/h).
