The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the muscle car to end all muscle cars with its incredible 707 horses of barely contained power. Deliveries of the Challenger Hellcat have only just begun, but already one has met an untimely demise.

It shouldn’t be that surprising that some of these proud new Hellcat owners were a little overconfident behind the wheel. We all like to think of ourselves as decent drivers, but the 707 horsepower that Dodge gave this car is nothing to mess with. One unlucky guy found that out within just an hour of driving away in his shiny new Hellcat.

Crashed Challenger Hellcat

This particular lime green Hellcat met the end of its life on the roads of Colorado. TFLCar.com tells us (with additional photos from the scene and aftermath) that the car skidded off the road at a bend and smacked head-on into a tree. Looks like the tree won.

The driver of the car was thankfully OK (as were two passengers), but after only an hour behind the wheel, his car was not so lucky as you can see from the photo above posted at MotorAuthority.com. It’s likely to be a complete write-off and it’s amazing that the guy wasn’t seriously injured. Let this serve as a reminder that with great power comes great responsibility and the need to ease up on the gas (and increase your insurance coverage).
