October 2, 2018

, Brampton, Ontario

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye models are now rolling off the line as production of the 797-horsepower muscle car started today at the FCA US Brampton Assembly Plant (Ontario, Canada).
 
At its heart is the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI® high-output V-8 engine, derived from the record-setting 2018 Challenger SRT Demon and rated at 797 horsepower and 707 lb.-ft. of torque, making the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye the most powerful, quickest and fastest muscle car. Unmatched performance includes 0-60 miles per hour (mph) acceleration in 3.4 seconds, a ¼-mile elapsed time of 10.8 seconds at 210 kilometres per hour (km/h) (131 mph) and a top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph).
 
All 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat models feature a new fully functional, dual-snorkel hood that pays homage to the distinctive Dodge design themes from some of its most famous muscle cars. The new Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye receives new badging, including a sinister red eye featured on the Hellcat fender badges, instrument panel, key fobs and supercharger housing. Inside, the performance interior features a new 340 km/h (220-mph) red speedometer and Redeye logo splash screen.
 
2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye models will start arriving at Dodge//SRT dealerships this fall.

New for 2019, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is possessed by the Demon. Its 797-horsepower supercharged HEMI® high-output engine makes it the most powerful, quickest and fastest muscle car reaching 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.4 seconds and the fastest GT production car with a ¼-mile elapsed time (ET) of 10.8 seconds at 210 km/h (131 mph). It also reaches a new top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph). Joining the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with its more powerful 717-horsepower engine, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody, which features fender flares from the SRT Hellcat Widebody and adds 3.5 inches of width to Scat Pack’s footprint, as well as and the new Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320. Infused with exclusive drag strip technology from the iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is a drag-oriented, street-legal muscle car and a blank canvas for the serious grassroots drag racer.  The 2019 Dodge Durango SRT, North America’s fastest, most powerful and most capable three-row SUV with a best-in-class tow rating of 8,700 lbs. fills out the brands’ performance lineup. These visceral performance models join a 2019 brand lineup that includes the Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, Charger and Challenger — a showroom that offers performance at every price point.
