Purchased my 392 in Germany (US Auto Sales). Loved the Autobahn. Finding parking was sometimes difficult, but they have a lot of parking garages. I was surprised how many people would stare, roll down their window to hear it, or come up to me and ask about it. I had a grandpa (in the back seat of an SUV) stick his head out the window and yell at me in German. We were in a stahl (traffic jam) on the Autobahn. I said I don't speak German well, and he replied in English "hit the gas", so I revved it for him. Big smile on his face. I received quite a few looks and smiles. A couple behind me at a stop light kept pointing to the back of the car, leaning forward to see something. I thought they were trying to see my license plate, then realized they were trying to see what kind of car it was. Badges are blacked out, so they are hard to read on black paint.

I saw one of these a few years ago parked in someone's driveway in Kyoto Japan. I don't know how he got it in there. It looked comically huge.

Dodge did exactly to the Charger what Camaro should have done. I've owned two Dodge Chargers. First was the V6 version. A completely practical family sedan. 8 speed transmission with still plenty of power and 32 mpg highway. Then traded it in for it's bigger brother, the R/T with the 5 speed slap shift and 375 horsepower. I LOVED it. Black with black leather seats and pearl additive to the paint gave it a fantastic stage presence. A very large car with an equally large blind spot behind the "C" post. But hey, you're only looking forward in a car like that. Watching Richard Hammond of all people get all giddy over a popular and cheap (relatively speaking) American muscle car is quite fantastic. Not only does he make the car look bigger, but so do the roads and other cars on the road in the UK. Somebody should take Richard and put him in a lifted Chevy Silverado 3500 LT 4x4 quad cab long bed dually that way we can have a proper conversation about ridiculously large vehicles.

Speaking as a Canadian, these cars are considered "full size" cars, and are made for North American roads, where even the surface streets are wide enough to fit three of these abreast. Considering that they trace their lineage back to a Mercedes E-class, they're not THAT big. full disclosure: I'm a licensed mechanic at a dealership that sells and services these, and I drive a GMC Yukon XL (Chevrolet Suburban) so I'm both familiar with the size of these, and primarily drive something even bigger. So my perception of size is a bit skewed.

Really great seats and interior color.

I'm going to say something you might not realize. Because the engine creates so much talk, if you drive it sedately, you'll get amazing mileage on your commute. My mate had a Ford Mustang GT500 (662hp) and on his commute from the Detroit Suburbs to Ford Headquarters he could average (no BS) 36mpg. Part of it was the route he took and part of it was he never had to push the revs above 1,200. I have no doubt the Hellcat or the Chevy Corvette would pull similar numbers in the right conditions.

Beautiful beast but cost a bomb in fuel. Guess you will not see many of these, on the UK roads.

They drink a lot when you get on it, but do pretty okay if you stay out of it. Better than most peoples' trucks for sure. But gouge on the power a bit and the 25mpg can turn to 8 real quick.

@@spicysnowman8886 I've seen 5.7s get almost to 30. Most people really don't know how to drive for mileage and most don't care to. I bet I could stretch a Hellcat to 25, but it might involve some techniques that normal people don't do, like drafting and extended coasting. But if I had one I wouldn't ever drive it like that; I'd drive a Hellcat like a Hellcat and leave the hypermiling to the G1 Insight.

"I can't get it out!" - Richard Hammond, 2022

Hamster. Please don’t die!! You’re A National treasure!!!

Legend has it, the last time someone tried to take a comb to Richard's hair, they were never seen again.

Hammond, reminder that this will be the car for NASCAR 2023 season once Dodge gets in.

It had to be big and powerful to fit and move those movie theater seats. At least you don't need the booster with this one 😉

@@denisalg1171 "better" taste is subjective. Its a different style than others would prefer sure, but the sales figures of both the Challenger and Charger (SXT- Hellcat variants) suggests that it is still a fairly decent car for what it is. Which is, of course, an out of date, heavy, unstable, overpowered (hellcat and up) couch on wheels meant to do nothing else than put a smile on the driver's face at the sheer stupidity of it.

That is the car he needed in the American road trip. That supercharger whine is intoxicating.

I miss the old show - Hammond is awesome! He gets it! Love that he drives some American Muscle! Cheers dude 🍺

I live in the UAE 🇦🇪 and these are everywhere and used by lots of people/expats as commuter cars - SRT, Hellcat, Demon, R/T, even the plain old Penastar V6 SXT.... somehow they don't look all that big and very similar size to a 5 series BMW or CL Merc... fun cars and well built like most of the Dodge line up these days. Can't quite imagine the fuel cost for one in the UK though! ..gas conversion anyone? 🤣

One of those things, if you have to ask it ain't for you haha. Lord knows it ain't for me but a man can dream

Full power? Are you sure that's wise Richard considering your track record?

did this for 3 months in my hellcat redeye challenger. Drove 4 miles each way from home to work, a full tank of gas ran me about $120 usd in California, and I had to fill up twice a week. Still love my 'Cat but I now also love my motorcycle for that reason lol.

Love your work Hammond.

I think he needs to drive it in sports mode to get the full reaction of the vehicle the tighter steering wheel etc.

This is one of the most badass cars in the uk

First vid I’ve seen from drive tribe… I like your vibe…. Subscribed! Wow. Honestly didn’t plan that…😬

I’d love to see more of Hammond driving a 700hp car not set up for handling because there’s absolutely nothing that could ever go wrong there.

Lovely Review Richard.

It's so satisfying to see Hammond back into driving/ reviewing a car and especially an American car!
