Share
Dodge is standing up to Ford and Chevrolet's retreat from sedans by reintroducing the Charger Hellcat with a widebody that increases by 3.5 inches in width, as well as adding Jailbreak models that boost power to an eye-watering 807 horsepower for tire-shredding burnouts.
Inside, the Uconnect infotainment system features an 8.4-inch touchscreen that features crisp and responsive operation of a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio setup. A navigation and travel group package are also available as are power sunroof and Wi-Fi hotspot features.
707 hp
Dodge has transformed a family sedan into something incredible by slamming 740 horsepower of Hemi power into the Charger Hellcat and Challenger Hellcat Redeye; an action sure to impress engineers and enthusiasts alike! Both vehicles remain highly sought-after options in an SUV/crossover-dominated market.
Some may assume a 4,000-pound sedan with 707 horsepower is best left for use only on a drag strip, while those who have experienced driving one on a road course know otherwise - that the Hellcat is both an exceptional track car and daily driver.
2021 will see some upgrades that make the Hellcat even more amazing, such as a wider body for increased muscularity and an upgraded performance hood with air induction and heat extractors. A new front fascia was also designed to channel airflow directly into its engine bay for maximum cooling capabilities.
Dodge introduced an upgraded Hellcat V8 that offers 80 additional horsepower and 57 lb-ft of torque - giving each wheel an aggregate total of 797 horsepower - making the Hellcat Redeye the fastest production sedan ever sold.
6.4-liter supercharged HEMI V8
2021 Charger SRT Hellcat is propelled by its powerful supercharged HEMI(r) V8 engine, producing 717 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque - enough to accelerate from zero to 60mph in just 3.6 seconds and devour a quarter mile in 10.6 seconds; making it America's fastest four-door sedan!
Dodge's impressive powertrain is a testament to their dedication to performance engines. Every component that goes into creating such an engine has been meticulously assembled by Dodge over decades; designed for maximum power and torque output. To utilize its full potential, the Charger SRT Hellcat comes equipped with 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels and Brembo(r) brakes; while inside lies classic Dodge style: black Laguna leather seatbelts featuring Demonic Red hues sit atop Red LED SRT Alcantara steering wheels - an eclectic combination combining classic Dodge styling with modern sophistication!
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat can reach top speeds of 204 mph and was designed to conquer both roads and tracks with its unabashedly powerful performance. Capable of easily covering 2.1 miles in just one lap, its incredible horsepower requires six piston front Brembo brakes as well as three mode high performance SRT tuned adaptive damping competition suspension for stability during all driving conditions. To handle such power, its six piston front Brembo(r) brakes provide ample stopping force allowing drivers to keep control regardless of road or weather conditions.
20-inch forged aluminum wheels
The 20-inch forged aluminum wheels that come standard on the Dodge Charger Hellcat make for an eye-catching combination, complementing its menacing styling while giving it an aggressive stance that's sure to draw attention. Furthermore, forged wheels tend to be lighter than cast ones which can help improve fuel economy; however, keep in mind they require special maintenance.
Hellcat owners seeking an added performance edge will appreciate this widebody upgrade that expands its already impressive performance credentials. 20x11-inch rims wrap Pirelli P-Zero tires on 20x11-inch rims for enhanced handling; Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear high performance brakes ensure smooth stops; there is also a functional performance hood equipped with dual heat extractors and mail slot front grille to add flair.
Customization options for the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat include Brass Monkey paint and orange brake calipers. Other exterior features include satin black hood, roof and decklid as well as a Hellcat-themed rear spoiler and badge, Laguna leather seats with sepia seat belts and Dinamica suede steering wheels with red SRT logos come standard inside this car as do power sunroofs and 8.4-inch Uconnect(r) touchscreen displays that respond rapidly to inputs and feature physical knob and button interfaces for quick access to essential functions; 19 speaker Harman Kardon audio systems offer loud rockin' burnout sessions!
Brembo brakes
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat comes standard with Brembo(r) brakes, giving the vehicle race car-like stopping ability. These two-piece rotors dissipate heat quickly to prevent fade and ensure consistent performance while their aluminum brake calipers reduce weight for improved performance and feature high-performance braking pads to help the vehicle stop swiftly.
The 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye features vented performance brake discs measuring 380 millimeters front and 284 millimeters rear for optimal stopping power and precise control, combined with Brembo six-piston fixed monoblock aluminum brake calipers to deliver incredible stopping power and fade resistance over its lifespan.
Unlike mass-produced cars, the SRT Hellcat Redeye was designed with speed in mind. Boasting an incredible 707 horsepower engine that can conquer tracks or city streets alike. But speed shouldn't come at the cost of stopping capability; that's why this vehicle features six-piston Brembo brakes as well as an Adaptive Damping Suspension for optimal stopping power.
Dodge//SRT wanted to demonstrate just how capable their new Hellcat Widebody is, so they enlisted veteran driver Randy Pobst as an ambassador. Pobst drove it up the famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado which features 156 turns over 12.4 miles - an event known for testing even the most capable vehicles. Dodge//SRT equipped the Hellcat Widebody with custom engine calibration and full race-prepped suspension from Wesley Motorsports so it would meet this challenging course head on.
8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen
The Charger SRT Hellcat comes standard with an 8.4-inch Uconnect(r) touchscreen that offers Apple CarPlay(r) and Android Auto(r) compatibility, as well as quick response time and an intuitive user interface. Control of SiriusXM(r) services as well as vehicle performance data is possible using voice command is also provided through this touchscreen system.
To keep you and your passenger safe while driving, the Hellcat offers an advanced suite of safety features. Seven airbags provide protection, while its rearview camera and automatic headlights ensure safe passage through parking lots.
Upgrade the standard power steering to electric power steering for improved steering feel at lower speeds, as well as automatic adaptation based on settings you specify in SRT Performance Pages.
The Hellcat stands out from other sedans thanks to its widebody exterior. It features an integrated front splitter which optimizes airflow to the radiator while maintaining optimal operating temperature in various conditions - providing it with enough oxygen in order to produce 707 horsepower - an outstanding feat in itself. Pirelli tires with increased adhesion, competition suspension tuning and Bilstein three-mode adaptive damping create more grip to make the Charger SRT Hellcat the fastest, quickest and most-handling production sedan ever created. Features of this vehicle include two key fobs - red and black to regulate engine output; an SRT flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel featuring Gunmetal accents and Dark Spun aluminum trim; as well as 7" Driver Information Digital Cluster Display and aluminum performance hood with NACA duct and dual air extractors.
Adaptive damping
The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye features many standard and optional features to set it apart, with some exclusive ones like unique badging and graphics on its startup animation as well as a 220-mile-per-hour speedometer. Furthermore, it shares similar interior design and passenger space features found in other Charger models; such as premium leather upholstery with heated and ventilated front seats as standard cockpit equipment as well as premium 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and 8.4-inch touchscreen control.
Adaptive damping helps the car stay stable at high speeds and on winding roads, as well as reduce body roll in corners, by automatically adjusting shock absorbers in real time to match driver preferences and reduce body roll in corners. Furthermore, adaptive suspension provides the driver with an option to set their preferred handling characteristics.
Torque Reserve, another standard feature on the Hellcat, regulates engine rpm and torque to preserve power when accelerating from a stop. Furthermore, its exhaust system gives this muscle car its signature sound with its signature "roar when flooring it."
The Hellcat can accommodate up to 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, and accelerate from zero to 60 in under four seconds. Furthermore, its large trunk seats up to four passengers comfortably; its center console boasts 12-volt outlets and USBs as well as a large bin for gear behind its rear seat for additional storage needs.
