Dodge introduces the 2021 Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye

Dodge continues to push the limits of the world's only four-door muscle car, introducing the new 786bhp 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye - the most powerful sedan and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world.

To put that power to the pavement, the new Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye boasts a Widebody exterior with integrated fender flares that add 89mm of body width.

The new 20-inch-by-11-inch Lightweight Carbon Black wheels ride on Pirelli 305/35ZR20 tyres, which give the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye more tyre tread where the rubber meets the road. A newly designed, functional performance hood gives this four-door sedan an even more sinister look.

The Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye runs 1.2 seconds faster than the Charger SRT Hellcat on a 3.4km road course, equal to about seven car lengths after one lap.

Designed and engineered to appeal to muscle car enthusiasts who want even more - more power, more performance and more bragging rights at the drag strip - the heart of the new four-door muscle car comes from the limited-production 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Being the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI high-output V8 boasts 786bhp and 959Nm of torque and is mated to a TorqueFlite 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Charger is a big, comfortable, five-passenger sedan that can run the quarter-mile in 10.6 seconds at 208km/h, 0 to 100km/h in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 327km/h, and still be a daily driver. Internal changes to the transmission include an upgraded torque converter, delivering an 18% increase in torque multiplication when compared with the standard Charger SRT Hellcat.

Like its Demon brethren, the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye's engine has 25 major component upgrades, including a larger supercharger, strengthened connecting rods and pistons, high-speed valve train, fuel injection system and improved lubrication system.

On the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, the new functional performance hood, mail-slot grille opening and air box opening near the wheel liner combine to give the high-output engine an 18% greater air-flow rate than the SRT Hellcat engine at 32m³ per minute. The innovative, award-winning SRT Power Chiller, standard on the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye only, lowers the intake air temperature further, resulting in improved performance. It diverts the air-conditioning refrigerant from the cabin to a chiller unit mounted by the low-temperature circuit coolant pump.

Race Cooldown, also an industry first, minimises any heat soak effects, allowing the engine to stay in optimum operating temperature. When the engine shuts down, the Race Cooldown feature keeps the engine's cooling fan and low-temperature circuit coolant pump running to lower the supercharger/charge air cooler temperature.

The driver can track the supercharger coolant temperature on the SRT Performance Pages in the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen and know in real time when the supercharger is at the optimum temperature for another run.

All 2021 Charger SRT Hellcat models are loaded with standard performance features, including SRT-tuned Bilstein three-mode Adaptive Damping Suspension system, standard Brembo brake system, Electric power steering, Launch Assist, Torque Reserve, Launch Control, Line Lock, a larger induction air box, SRT Drive Modes and SRT Performance Pages that brings critical vehicle performance data to the driver's fingertips, including a real-time dyno graph, g-force heat map and much more.
