2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody �€" 797 Horsepower,
Go Mango Orange, Low Miles Why This Car Is Special The 2021 Dodge
Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody is the most powerful
mass-produced sedan ever built at the time of its release. That is
not marketing language �€" it is a documented engineering fact.
Dodge extracted 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque from the
supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 by fitting it with a larger
2.7-liter supercharger, upgrading the fuel injectors to a
dual-fuel-injection system, and increasing boost pressure compared
to the standard Hellcat engine, which produces 717 horsepower. The
Redeye engine is essentially the same unit found in the Dodge
Challenger SRT Demon, with some of the Demon's more track-specific
features dialed back to meet street-car standards. The result is a
four-door sedan that will run 0 to 60 mph in the mid-three-second
range and cover the quarter mile in the ten-second bracket �€"
numbers that were firmly in supercar territory when this car was
built. The Widebody package is not cosmetic trim. It adds 3.5
inches of total width to the body, which allowed Dodge engineers to
fit 305-width rear tires under the fenders. Those wider tires are
what allow the Redeye's power to reach the pavement in a controlled
and repeatable way. Without the Widebody, the standard Hellcat
Charger sits on 275s, and 797 horsepower through a narrower contact
patch is a very different driving experience. The Widebody also
includes a functional front splitter and a rear deck spoiler, both
of which contribute to aerodynamic stability at higher speeds. The
2021 model year is notable because it was the first year Dodge
offered the Redeye engine in the Charger body, having debuted in
the Challenger the previous year. The Charger Hellcat Redeye was
also produced in relatively modest numbers compared to standard
Hellcat Chargers, making well-optioned examples in desirable colors
increasingly harder to locate in clean, low-mileage condition. This
particular car wears Go Mango, one of Dodge's heritage-inspired
colors that traces its name back to the original 1969 Dodge muscle
car palette. Paired with the blacked-out hood, matte black roof,
and 20-inch black SRT wheels, the contrast between the orange body
and the black graphic treatment gives this car a visual identity
that is immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with the
Hellcat lineup. Features List - Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8

heart of the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the
supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, internally designated the Hellcat
High-Output. It shares its architecture with the standard Hellcat
engine but upgrades the supercharger from a 2.4-liter unit to a
2.7-liter unit, which spins at up to 14,600 rpm and produces
significantly more boost. Dodge also added a port fuel injection
system alongside the existing direct injection, a dual-fuel setup
that helps cool intake charge temperatures and allows the engine to
maintain its power output more consistently under sustained use.
The result is a factory-rated 797 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 707
lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. Power is routed through an 8-speed
TorqueFlite automatic transmission, which was recalibrated
specifically for Hellcat applications with revised shift logic and
upgraded internals. Dodge did not offer a manual transmission
option on the Charger Hellcat Redeye, as the platform and power
output were considered best matched to the automatic for both
performance and reliability reasons. The
