The "F" architecture of the Hellcat is very simple, yet incredibly rigid and light. It is the only backbone downtube, cradle based chassis to utilize the powerplant as a stressed member. It is also the last architecture for a crafted series built machine designed entirely by analogue methodology. Born from the draftsman's table, it has the essence of a finely crafted turntable. "F" architecture is unquestionably the stiffest, strongest, most rigid welded platform ever to run the Iconic American radial twin power plant.
