The Charger is the next Dodge vehicle in line to receive the insane 707-hp Hellcat engine, and it looks like that car will be making its debut at the 2014 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit.

Dodge CEO Timothy Kuniskis revealed on Detroit radio station 101 WRIF that the brand has plans to reveal a new performance vehicle at this year’s Dream Cruise, although he stopped short of saying exactly what it would be. The logical answer is the Charger Hellcat, a car that we know is in the pipeline and is due to be revealed very soon.

Once fit with the Hellcat engine, which is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Charger will become the most powerful sedan on the market. This car will be fit with many of the extra performance parts that are available on the Challenger Hellcat, including Pirelli P-Zero tires, a hood scoop, slotted brake rotors, Brembo brake calipers, a trunk lid spoiler and larger exhaust tips.

We will be at the Dream Cruise, so check back for live photos and information on Saturday, August 16.

    I am very doubtful this car will come with the exact same engine as the Challenger. This situation reeks of ZR1 / ZL1, the R got the big HP engine and L got the lower. The Charger Hellcat will be down a few ponies from the Challenger I think.
