EV may be its future, but that hasn't stopped Dodge from launching a new Hellephant crate with up to 1,100hp 🤯
We’ll admit this one isn’t a priority on the UK consumer news front, but it’s very hard to resist writing about enormous crate engines. Probably it’s the kind of American phenomenon we should politely ignore, like giant soft drink containers or NASCAR. But when they offer up 1100hp and are endowed with fantastic names like Hellephant and HurriCrate, it’s hard not to feel a pang of intense jealousy on this side of the Atlantic. Over here we have to get excited about 2.
Evidently, the Hellephant has been popular because its manufacturer is expanding the lineup to include a 376 cubic-inch - or 6.2-litre - cast iron block, which has been heavily upgraded to produce 900hp on premium gas in C30 spec, or 1000hp with E85 as the C170. Dodge says this V8 features a new 3.0-litre supercharger and improved intercooler, and has been specially modified to improve cylinder pressure capability - not least in the cylinder heads, pistons and connecting rods.
