2020 Dodge Charger / Charger SRT Hellcat Fact Sheet

Auburn Hills, Mich. June 27, 2019 - For 2020, Dodge literally expands its high-performance Charger model lineup, adding a Widebody exterior to America’s only four-door muscle car. Powered by the 707-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat V-8 engine, the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat delivers a top speed of 196 miles per hour (mph), maintaining its reign as the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world. The new Widebody’s integrated fender flares add 3.5 inches of body width, making room for new 20-inch-by-11-inch Carbon Black forged wheels riding on wider, stickier Pirelli 305/35ZR20 tires. That combination, paired with new competition suspension tuning with Bilstein three-mode adaptive damping, produces even more grip, delivering improved performance on the street, strip and road course, making this the quickest and best handling production Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat ever. Also new for 2020, the Widebody Package is also available on Charger Scat Pack, producing the quickest and best handling Charger Scat Pack ever offered.
 
Dodge Charger offers a full range of powerful engine options on seven distinct models, including the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 on Charger SXT, SXT AWD, GT and new for 2020 GT AWD, the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 on Charger R/T, the naturally aspirated 392 HEMI V-8 on Charger Scat Pack and the best-in-class 707-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 on the Charger SRT Hellcat.
