One look at the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and you know that this four-door sedan is something very different. The current-generation Charger debuted for the 2005 model year, and since then Dodge has strapped more and more powerful engines to its chassis. A supercharged V-8 engine is under the hood of the latest versions and it makes at least 717 horsepower. 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. 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. 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’. 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.
Dodge is celebrating what will be the final model year for the current generation Charger SRT Hellcat by making the Jailbreak package available on both the Redeye and non-Redeye models. All 2023 Chargers will come with a special “Last Call” plaque under the hood to commemorate the final production run before Dodge switches to a new generation of performance cars featuring electrified powertrains.
Without a doubt, the Hellcat's main attraction is its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8. If you haven't heard, it now makes 717 horsepower along with 650 pound-feet of torque. The Redeye model features an enhanced version of the Hellcat engine, which generates 797 horses and 707 pound-feet. With the aptly named Jailbreak package the Redeye gets a boost to 807 horsepower. 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. 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. The Hellcat Redeye we tested hit 60 mph in 3.5 ticks and covered the quarter in 11.5 seconds at 126 mph. Of course, this unreal performance doesn't come without a price, and drivers must carefully apply the gas pedal to maintain traction. And those big rear tires are expensive to replace. 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. Still, the widebody Hellcat's front tires don't communicate as much to the steering wheel as we'd like.
Every Charger SRT Hellcat has an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Its large screen responded quickly to inputs and the physical knobs and buttons make the interface easy to use. Want to rock out while doing massive burnouts? Dodge offers a thumping 19-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system.
While the high-powered sedan includes basic driver-assistance technology, more advanced assists such as adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking are unavailable.
