With 797 horsepower on tap, the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the most powerful muscle car on sale these days. But Dodge won’t stop here. More to the point, Dodge is expected to shoehorn the 6.2-liter HEMI V8 in the Charger Widebody for the 2020 model year.
The supercharged engine makes 707 pound-feet of torque at the crankshaft, and in the Challenger, the TorqueFlite 8HP90 features specific calibration. Even though the limited-edition Demon is more potent, the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye doesn’t need 100-octane race fuel.
Jonny Lieberman took to Instagram about the subject, and chances are the Charger Widebody concept will premiere as a production model no later than the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019. Given that the full-size sedan is heavier than the Challenger, the Charger Widebody in SRT Hellcat Redeye flavor should be a bit harder to handle in the twisties.
With the right skills and in perfect conditions, the Challenger is much obliged to hit 60 in 3.4 seconds. The quarter-mile is done in 10.8 seconds, and top speed is rated at 203 mph. In addition to the flared wheel arches, the Widebody swaps the 275-section tires for 305s for superior grip and traction. Of course, we’re talking about Pirelli P-Zero performance tires.
As opposed to the non-Redeye, the range-topping Challenger levels up to 2.7 liters for the supercharger. It’s the same system the Demon uses, and in this application, we’re talking about 14.5 psi of boost and twin dual-stage fuel pumps. The Power Chiller from the Demon, stronger connecting rods and pistons, as well as a redesigned valvetrain are also included.
The 6,500-rpm redline allows the Redeye to rev higher than the Hellcat as well, and hitting the limiter is certain to have an effect on gas mileage. Care to guess how the Environmental Protection Agency rated the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye? That would be 13 mpg in the city and 22 out on the highway, thank you!
In regard to pricing , the Redeye starts at $71,695 for the standard model. The widebody package adds $6,000 on top, and the 3.09 rear axle is $1,095. In other words, the Charger with these options won’t be cheap either.
