Since its debut in the 1960s, the Charger has evolved from a classic two-door muscle coupe into a powerful full-size sedan, without losing the aggressive character that made it a legend. In 2023, Dodge raises the bar once again with the Charger SRT—one of the final chapters in the era of internal combustion performance for the brand. The 2023 Dodge Charger SRT is more than just a car; it's a statement.
It pays tribute to Dodge’s high-performance heritage while embracing modern technology and engineering to deliver a driving experience that’s as exhilarating as it is unforgettable.
Engine and Performance
Dodge offers multiple performance levels under the SRT badge, with the Hellcat Redeye and Jailbreak variants pushing the limits of what a modern muscle sedan can do.The Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye features a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 engine that delivers an astounding 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. This beast is mated to a TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission that ensures quick and smooth gear changes, whether you're tearing down a straightaway or navigating city traffic. The result? A 0–60 mph time of around 3.5 seconds, putting it squarely in supercar territory.
For drivers who crave even more performance, the SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak package unlocks the full potential of the platform—boosting power output to a jaw-dropping 807 horsepower. Despite its massive power, the Charger SRT is not just about brute force. Dodge engineers have equipped it with performance-enhancing features like line lock, launch control, and Performance Pages, allowing drivers to fine-tune the experience. Adaptive damping suspension and electronic stability control help manage the muscle, giving drivers confidence both on the track and the street.
Bold Exterior and Interior Design
On the exterior, the widebody design is more than just for show—it improves handling by allowing for a wider track and accommodating massive 305-mm Pirelli performance tires. The front fascia features a functional dual-scoop hood, flared fenders, and a low, assertive grille that enhances airflow and engine cooling.
LED headlights with signature daytime running lights add a modern touch to the muscle-bound silhouette, and available color options—including high-impact hues like Go Mango, TorRed, and F8 Green—let drivers showcase their bold personality. The Jailbreak models take this customization a step further, offering unique badge finishes, stripes, and even colored brake calipers for a truly personalized look.
Inside, the Charger SRT delivers a cockpit that balances comfort, technology, and racing spirit. The flat-bottom steering wheel with SRT badging, aluminum paddle shifters, and suede or carbon-fiber trim accents remind you that this isn’t your average sedan. Despite its sporty nature, the Charger SRT remains practical—with a spacious cabin, usable rear seats, and a surprisingly large trunk.

Advanced Technology
While the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT stays true to its raw muscle car heritage, it’s equally packed with modern technology that enhances both performance and convenience. Dodge has carefully integrated smart features to elevate the driving experience without distracting from the car’s bold, aggressive identity.
The SRT Performance Pages give drivers real-time access to a wealth of performance data, including 0–60 times, g-force readouts, lap timers, and engine output. Launch Control and Line Lock are standard, allowing enthusiasts to optimize acceleration from a standing start or perform controlled burnouts at the track. The system automatically manages torque and traction, ensuring consistent results and protecting the drivetrain.
The digital cluster display behind the steering wheel is also performance-ready, showing vital stats like boost pressure, oil temperature, and tire pressure. The Charger SRT also includes keyless entry, push-button start, remote start, and optional Wi-Fi hotspot capability, blending everyday convenience with high-octane capability. In short, the technology in the 2023 Charger SRT doesn’t just keep up with the times—it enhances the thrill of driving in every way.
Safety and Handling Features
Braking performance is handled by high-performance Brembo brakes, which are standard on SRT models. Whether you're decelerating from high speed or navigating tight turns, the braking system offers confident, fade-resistant performance.
Handling is enhanced through the SRT-tuned adaptive damping suspension, which adjusts shock absorber stiffness in real time based on driving conditions and mode selection. With selectable drive modes—Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, and Custom—drivers can tailor the car’s suspension, transmission, throttle response, and steering feel to match their environment and preference.
For added control, the Charger SRT includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and All-Speed Traction Control, helping the car maintain grip in both high-speed maneuvers and slippery conditions.
These include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- ParkSense Rear Park Assist System
These technologies work seamlessly in the background, offering additional security without detracting from the raw driving experience. Meanwhile, a solid body structure, advanced airbag systems, and crash-optimized crumple zones provide peace of mind in the event of a collision.
Special Editions and Customization
The 2023 Dodge Charger SRT isn’t just a powerhouse—it’s a canvas for personal expression, especially with the availability of special editions and wide-ranging customization options. For enthusiasts who want their Charger to reflect their unique style and personality, Dodge delivers with bold offerings and the ability to create a one-of-a-kind machine.
With this package, owners gain access to over 20 categories of custom options, ranging from seat belt colors and steering wheel materials to spoiler designs and brake caliper finishes. Customers can mix and match colors with racing stripes, hood graphics, and different finish options for badging, wheels, and trim accents.
The Jailbreak Performance Package doesn’t just enhance visual flair—it also boosts the car's power to 807 horsepower, making it the most powerful Charger ever offered. Beyond aesthetics, buyers can equip their SRT Charger with performance enhancements such as lightweight forged wheels, performance-tuned differentials, and track-focused suspension setups.
