SUPERCHARGED 6.2L HIGH-OUTPUT HEMI® V8 ENGINE

As the most menacing engine available in the Dodge lineup, the Supercharged 6.2L High-Output HEMI® V8 engine needs no introduction. This HEMI is available with 797 horsepower on the Hellcat Redeye models and 807 horsepower on the Challenger SRT Jailbreak—all standard with 959 nM of torque. Whether it’s the track or the town, this engine will be sure to perform with pure speed and power.

NOBODY STANDS A CHANCE

The available Dodge Challenger Widebody pairs its unforgiving attitude with relentless performance. It’s your competition’s worst nightmare.

STRONGER CONNECTION 

For improved straight-line and lateral grip, Widebody models are equipped with 20x11-inch wheels and Pirelli® P Zero® tires. 

STAND TALL 

Widebody models take a wider stance and add fender flares to cover your wheels and tires. 

UP YOUR GAME 

The R/T Scat Pack Widebody comes standard with performance upgrades including six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo Performance Brakes as well as an Adaptive Damping Suspension. 

STOPPING POWER

SPORT BRAKE SYSTEM 

The Challenger SXT comes standard with a sport brake system, featuring 12.6-inch front vented rotors.  

BREMBO FOUR-PISTON BRAKE SYSTEM 

Promoting incredible braking power, four-piston Brembo calipers with 14.2-inch (front) and 13.8-inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors are standard on the Challenger R/T Scat Pack, available on the Scat Pack and included with the available Performance Handling Group on R/T. 

BREMBO SIX-PISTON BRAKE SYSTEM 

15.4-inch Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers come standard on Challenger SRT® models and are included with the Widebody Package or Dynamic Package on the R/T Scat Pack. 

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

SRT POWER CHILLER®

The SRT Power Chiller® diverts air conditioning refrigerant from the interior cabin to the chiller unit, which is then directed to the heat exchangers in the superchargers. Standard on the Challenger SRT Hellcat Jailbreak and SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak.

LINE LOCK

When it’s time to pre-stage, Line Lock allows you to single out and engage the front brakes while your rear tires spin freely to clean them off and warm them up.

LAUNCH ASSIST

Launch Assist activates sensors that constantly monitor wheel speed. If wheel hop is detected, the engine control module will resolve the issue by reducing torque to help maximize traction.

LAUNCH CONTROL

For maximum acceleration, Launch Control holds the engine at the preferred RPM and waits for the driver to release the brake while using engine torque management to optimize wheel slip.

RACE COOLDOWN

Stay ready to compete at all times with Race Cooldown. This feature keeps the engine’s cooling fan and coolant pump running to lower the air cooler temperature even after the engine shuts down. These temperatures can be tracked right from your SRT® Performance Pages.

BIG ASPIRATIONS

The Dodge Challenger 1320 is the fastest quarter-mile naturally aspirated muscle car.

TRANS BRAKE 

The Trans Brake locks the output shaft of the TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission to hold the car stationary before launch, allowing the driver to increase engine RPM for higher torque and a quicker response at launch. 

PERFORMANCE 

By adjusting transmission, traction, suspension and steering settings, this mode is optimized for drag racing. The drag suspension maximizes weight transfer to the rear wheels for better traction at launch. 

DRAG RADIAL TIRES 

For the drag racing fanatics, the 275/40R20 Nexen street-legal Drag radial tires on the 2023 Challenger 1320 are optimized for performance on the strip. 

SRT® DRIVE MODES

Standard on the R/T Scat Pack and SRT® models, game-changing SRT Drive Modes allow the user to customize vehicle settings for a more personalized driving experience.

TRACK MODE 

Track Mode activates paddle shifters and adjusts transmission, traction, steering and suspension settings to optimize your Challenger for the track. 

SPORT MODE 

For driving enthusiasts in search of performance on the streets, Sport Mode enables the paddle shifters and configures custom-set transmission and steering settings. 

CUSTOM MODE 

Customize the performance settings in your 2023 Dodge Challenger from transmission to traction with Custom Mode, offered to perfectly fit your ideal feel to take on the road or track.  

AUTO MODE 

Auto Mode is for standard driving conditions where traction and transmission will be operating, without change, in normal street conditions. The steering and suspensions can be taken into Street, Sport, or Track modes and the paddle shifters can be activated or deactivated by the driver.  

ECO & VALET MODE 

Eco Mode is capable of modifying vehicle settings to increase your fuel economy on a daily drive. Valet Mode protects your vehicle settings from unauthorized modification when your keys aren’t in your hands.

THE ONE AND ONLY

The Dodge Challenger is the world’s first and only muscle coupe with all-wheel drive on SXT models.

FRONT AXLE DISCONNECT

The 2023 Dodge Challenger is capable of calculating road conditions, drive mode and external temperature to determine when to activate AWD or disconnect the front axle for RWD.

    VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL

    VDC technology uses available sensor inputs to redistribute the driveline torque to the wheels. In sport mode, VDC works with less aggressive brake-based stability control settings, while retaining the mobility of AWD and safety of dynamic stability control.

      SHIFT INTO HIGH GEAR

      SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 

      For traditional drivers in search of complete control, the TREMEC® six-speed manual transmission comes standard with most V8 engines on the 2023 Dodge Challenger. 

      TORQUEFLITE® EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 

      For the best of both worlds, the TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission works as an easy-driving auto transmission at base while you can choose to activate the available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters or use the transmission's manual capability with Autostick.
