Dodge Auctioning First 2015 Challenger Hellcat for Charity

Dodge is auctioning off the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat for charity, giving car enthusiasts a chance to own the first model of the muscle car fresh from the assembly line.

Benefiting the Opportunity Village organization of Las Vegas, the Challenger Hellcat model boasts 707 horsepower and carries the vehicle identification number 0001, USA TODAY reported.

"The 2015 Challenger Hellcat is already guaranteed to be one of the hottest cars that will roll through the Barrett-Jackson auction lanes in decades to come," Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge and SRT Brands, said in a statement quoted by USA TODAY. "The VIN 0001 being auctioned this year is the ultimate one-of-one collectible 2015 Dodge Challenger, as Dodge is ensuring there will never be another one like it."

Jalopnik points out that the first copy of the Challenger Hellcat will come in the special Stryker Red exterior paint popular among car fans.

The model sold at auction will include a "birth certificate" and come with a presentation box, which includes the car's build book, vehicle footage and a lithograph.

The 2015 Challenger Hellcat runs on a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine. It can run a quarter mile in just 10.2 seconds at a speed of 126 miles per hour.

The model will go on the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas 2014 auction, which runs Sept. 25 to 27 in Las Vegas.
