Dodge Temporarily Restricts Orders on SRT Hellcat Models
If you’ve been mulling over a Dodge SRT Hellcat model, you might be out of luck for the time being.
The American automaker told Motor Authority that it is “temporarily restricting orders” on the SRT Hellcat models while the company validates current orders that are in the system. Dodge admitted that demand for the Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats is “unprecedented” and it’s hard not to see why with 707 hp lurking under the hoods of the sports cars.

Recently, Dodge called out its dealerships for shady business practices on selling the Hellcat models, including taking deposits when it isn’t even guaranteed to get one. The restriction could possibly be in place so that the company can determine which dealerships have legitimate orders or it could simply be an issue of shortage for the highly-demanded models.
