The 2022 Porsche 911 is without a doubt one of the world’s most iconic cars. Its magnificent appearance, earth shattering performance and six figure price make it a car desired by many but afforded by few. But how does it compare to the 2022 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, a muscle car with an intimidating appearance and spectacular performance?
Design & Style
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is deceptively versatile, as it can be used for a family vehicle and for track level performance. Unlike many muscle cars, it has a large back seat with plenty of trunk space for carrying luggage, groceries and cargo. However, its acceleration is so powerful that many compare it to a fighter jet or space shuttle.
The Porsche 911 can be acquired in the form of a coupe, targa or cabriolet. Its newest features for the year include the addition of Android Auto, reskinned infotainment interface and the option of upgrading to the GT3. It is also wider and thicker than previous generations, but retains the classic teardrop shape which has made the model famous. Most variants utilize a dual clutch eight speed automatic transmission.
Technology & Safety
No one in their right mind will ever crash test the Porsche 911 for reasons which are obvious. That being said, it is equipped with all the contemporary safety features needed to protect its passengers, such as a camera with surround view, adapted cruise control, emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring and stability control which changes depending on the weather. Comforts within its cabin include keyless start, climate control, powered leather seats that can be cooled or heated, eleven inch touch display and an audio system with eight speakers.
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has received a perfect 5 stars safety rating from the NHTSA. It is equipped with many of the features found in the Porsche, including emergency automatic brakes, adapted cruise control, parking sensors and blind area monitoring. Comforts within its cabin include the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, eight inch touch displays, a Harmon Kardon sound system with nineteen speakers and carbon fiber trim.
Performance
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has incredible power. Those that purchase the Red Eye edition will get a V8, 6.2 liter engine that can generate 797 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds with a maximum top speed of 203 mph. Those that purchase the Porsche 911 Turbo S will get an engine that can generate 640 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 2.6 seconds with a maximum top speed of 205 mph.
The Bottom Line
While the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is good, the Porsche 911 surpasses it with superior 0 to 60 acceleration time and top speed, and this combined with the Charger’s tendency to roast its back tires makes the Porsche 911 the winner.
