'We run these things on wide-open throttle for hours and hours on end, 24-7. The testing on these things is just brutal. So far we’ve grenaded seven engines, but I think we’ve got it figured out.'
, Kuniskis explained, “When you want to add power to a Hellcat it’s very easy to do. Unfortunately when I sell it as a commemorative edition I have to put it through the normal production duty cycle.” As any tuner can tell you —about how to add reliable power to a car — making your 900-horsepower drag car a daily driver takes patience and skill. Kuniskis said,"It’s not so easy to do. We run these things on wide-open throttle for hours and hours on end, 24-7.
If all does go to plan, there's a chance we could see the coupe before the year is out or in early 2023, likely with a price just as explosive as those departed prototype engines.
