This is a prototype for the Dodge Challenger Hellcat ADR, caught testing near the SRT facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Adding more derivatives to the Challenger family, Dodge is set to introduce a widebody Hellcat next year. It will feature exaggerated wheel arches for a more aggressive stance and wider tires in the hopes of better applying the Hellcat’s massive power to the road.

Already with 707 hp, it’s unclear if the ADR will get even more power to the 6.2L supercharged V8. All-wheel drive continues to be a rumor, but it’s unlikely any V8 Challenger will get that before a new generation emerges.

Expect to see the ADR by next spring.
