CALIFORNIA, Unites States - Talk show host and petrol head Jay Leno has a superb garage which he showcases on his YouTube channel, Jay Leno's Garage.

The 64-year-old has a vast collection of supercars and bikes; from a 1971 Pantera, a 1975 CB750 Supersport to his latest addition: the Dodge Challenger SRT (Street and Racing Technology) Hellcat.

In his latest clip, Leno road tests the powerful muscle car in the US. The Hellcat is capable of 520kW, surpassing the Lamborghini Aventador in the power stakes.

The Challenger SRT Hellcat has a hefty 6.2-litre V8 upfront with gearbox options of either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual.

It certainly looks potent and it has an engine to match. Unfortunately we can't experience the Challenger on local shores.

South African fans of American muscle can take solace in the fact that Ford will launch its famous muscle car, the Mustang, in 2015.
