S65 AMG Sedan vs. Challenger Hellcat (video)


Looking at this video we can't help but to admire these two cars side by side and we're glad the owner decided to share a little muscle car rumbling with us. This is V8 vs. V12 in all its glory!

Of course, the massive V12-powered S65 AMG is a hard car to outshine in any sort of department. It's twin-turbo 6.0 liter engine puts out 621 hp (630 PS) which is terrific except for the fact that its 86 hp less than the Challenger Hellcat.

The Hellcat seems to be the car of the moment on all websites, YouTube channels and social media pages. And now wonder with those 707 hp, straight out of a good ol' American supercharged V8. It's actually faster than the Merc too with a 0-60 mph time in the low 3 second range. And of course it'll go all the way up to 199 mph where the S65 is limited to just 155 mph. But its not like those factory settings can't come off.

Another department where the Dodge takes the cake is pricing. The S65 AMG tips the scale at $222,000, which is over 3 times more expensive than the Hellcat. Overall, it's hard to decide which car sounds better. We're still willing to go with the V12 if we're talking mid to high range action. But at start-up, the Hellcat seems to sound a bit more aggressive.
