Dodge decides to offer a Charger with the Redeye powertrain and now, meet the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye. The recipe is pretty
simple in this case, as Dodge took the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine from
the Challenger Redeye and dropped it under the hood of the Charger, complete
with its 797 HP and 958 Nm of torque.
Dodge describes the new Charger SRT
Hellcat Redeye as the “world’s most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan”,
with the quarter-mile coming in 10.6 seconds at 207 km/h and a top
speed of 326 km/h. 0-96 km/h comes in the mid-3s.
In addition, the 2021 Charger SRT Hellcat
Redeye will be available only with the Widebody exterior, a set of 20×11
lightweight Carbon Black wheels shod in 305/35 tires, and a newly designed
performance hood with functional air intakes. Dodge used some Demon hardware to
the engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission, including a larger
supercharger, stronger connecting rods and pistons, high-speed valvetrain, a
new fuel injection system, an improved lubrication system, and an upgraded
torque converter.
The carmaker also added the SRT Power
Chiller, which diverts the air-conditioning from the cabin to the intake to
drop the air and coolant temperature for improved performance. Another feature
is the Race Cooldown, which allows the engine to run in its optimum operating
temperature by keeping the engine’s cooling fan and circuit coolant pump
running. The driver can even track the coolant temperature in real-time via the
infotainment system.
The interior of the Charger SRT Hellcat
Redeye comes with Laguna leather seats that can be optionally dressed partly
with Alcantara. Both the seats and the console also feature silver stitching,
with the cabin decorated with Light Black Chrome accents, a 220-mph red
speedometer, and plenty of SRT Hellcat Redeye logos scattered around. Standard
equipment includes adaptive suspension, Launch Assist and Launch Control,
Torque Reserve -which prefills the intake with boost-, and of course Line Lock
for easy and risk-free burnouts.
The 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye
will become available for order this fall, with the first cars scheduled to
arrive in dealerships in early 2021.
