Earlier this week, Hennessey revealed its take on the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, and now the performance tuner has applied the same formula to its four-door sibling.
The now infamous Hellcat siblings produce an otherworldly 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. In a stock vehicle for under $70,000 that’s Costco-sized portions of power when someone really only “needs” a single serving. In Texas, however, where Hennessey has setup shop, meteoric power levels start far beyond stock figures.
That’s why the HPE1000 kit forces those poor rear tires to deal with 1032 horses and 987 lb-ft of torque. In my Hellcat tests, a full-bore launch meant I’d hook up somewhere in fourth gear. With over 1,000 horsepower, owners may be well into sixth gear before the tires link hands with the road surface. With a steady power inlet, though, Hennessey claims the power kit results in a 0-to-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds (which happens to be quicker than McLaren’s 650S, for reference) and a quarter-mile time of 9.9 seconds at 142 mph.
The HPE1000 tune includes stainless steel headers and down pipes, billet aluminum compressor wheels, a high-flow air intake, new intercooler, improved fuel pump, re-tuned suspension and chassis, and the source of speed: a twin-turbocharger system.
It’s unclear if the stock Pirelli P Zero tires have been upgraded by Hennessey or not, but either way, you’ll roast them in a matter of a few weeks if your foot starts to feel heavy. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but if the 1,000-horsepower Camaro SS upgrade is any indicator, you’ll owe about $100,000 for your lofty power figure, including the price of the donor Hellcat.
With the introduction of the Charger-prepped kit, you can now choose to terrify one friend or three!
Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.
PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?
Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.
General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
Missing out on the self-driving future is a tough pill to swallow, especially as a car enthusiast. But that is what Tesla handed us on Wednesday, without a hint of mercy.
During its October 21, 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk told investors the Cybercab is meant mainly as a ride service. Further, nearly all of them will be owned and managed by Tesla.
