The folks at
Chrysler’s Mopar division unveiled its meanest road-going V8 ever at last year’s
show.
It makes 1,000 horsepower, and it’s called the Hellephant
in honor of the second-generation
426 “Elephant” V8, and because it has a honking big supercharger on top like the modern Hellcat. What we didn’t know was the price, but now order books are open, and it’s priced at $29,995.
That’s about $10,000 more than
the currently available Hellcat engine, which makes 707 horsepower
. You’ll also probably want to buy the available kit that comes with all the computers, wiring, sensors and throttle to run it, and that’s an extra $2,265. Putting things further into perspective, you can actually buy an entire new
SXT V6 for $29,340. You’ll also still need to add other accessories if you want things like air conditioning, which Mopar is also happy to sell you.
What we’re saying is, this is
a lot
of money just for an engine. But on the other hand, this is a roughly plug-and-play engine with
power for the price of
, so that’s pretty awesome. And you can put it into anything you have the skills or money to put it in. Plus, it should be able to make
more
power with higher-octane fuel. We can’t wait to see the swaps and builds.
