The standard widebody setup that we drove helps improve the supersedan's body control and cornering grip thanks to wider, stickier tires and stiffer chassis components.
And those big rear tires are expensive to replace. Of course, this unreal performance doesn't come without a price, and drivers must carefully apply the gas pedal to maintain traction. The Hellcat Redeye we tested hit 60 mph in 3.5 ticks and covered the quarter in 11.5 seconds at 126 mph. The regular Hellcat we tested blasted to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 11.9 seconds at 124 mph. These ultimate Chargers will leave no one wanting for power, all of which is directed to the rear wheels through a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. With the aptly named Jailbreak package the Redeye gets a boost to 807 horsepower. The Redeye model features an enhanced version of the Hellcat engine, which generates 797 horses and 707 pound-feet. If you haven't heard, it now makes 717 horsepower along with 650 pound-feet of torque. Without a doubt, the Hellcat's main attraction is its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8. We'd also upgrade the inside with the optional Carbon and Suede Interior package that covers the headliner in microsuede and various trim pieces with real carbon fiber. It comes with the same desirable standard features as well as some unique content of its own, such as a 220-mph red speedometer and a smattering of Redeye logos. If it were our money, we'd spend the extra cash and get the more powerful Redeye model. Still, if you’re looking for a muscle car with room for the kiddies-and the performance to make them giggle and shout-the Hellcat is one guaranteed thrill ride. Its monstrous acceleration puts it in league with high-dollar rivals such as the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S and Porsche Panamera Turbo S, but the Hellcat’s down-market cabin isn’t anything like those luxury models’. While the Charger SRT Hellcat is more at home at a drag strip than on a road course it actually holds its own in corners, something we proved years ago at our Lightning Lap event. Opt for a Redeye model and horsepower is boosted to 797-and with the Jailbreak package that number is an even more insane 807 ponies. A supercharged V-8 engine is under the hood of the latest versions and it makes at least 717 horsepower.
The current-generation Charger debuted for the 2005 model year, and since then Dodge has strapped more and more powerful engines to its chassis. One look at the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and you know that this four-door sedan is something very different.
