The Dodge brothers made parts for the Ford Company, and their details helped the brand to succeed. As the brothers were making their own cars, including the Dodge Model 30, Henry Ford came to them and asked about his Model T. The brothers signed a contract and produced Model T parts.

Many years later, the company made the most powerful production car in the US, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The car produced 707 hp, which makes it one of the fastest vehicles of all time.

The first SRT Hellcat had to be very durable, which resulted in the inclusion of diamonds. That's right, every car has diamonds embedded in it. In order to build the car with so much power, the company had to invent a new vehicle-development procedure to manage its design. Here are 15 things you should know about the 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
