It's only the most powerful production sedan...in the world.

This isn't a super sedan coming from BMW or Mercedes or Audi. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a 707 horsepower beast of a thing that's more proof than we'll ever need that the American auto industry is alive and well. But is the Charger Hellcat a good choice over, say, the much more expensive M5? That's the question we've been wondering for the past few months. And here today to provide an answer is this Charger Hellcat test drive from the crew at Motor Trend.

Is the Charger as good as the Challenger Hellcat? Can you live with it on a day-to-day basis without it nearly killing you? Could it just turn out to be the ultimate family sedan? Check out the video ahead for answers to all these questions and more.
