2021 marks the year that Dodge is
distilled into a pure performance brand, offering Hellcat-powered,
700-plus-horsepower SRT versions of every model across the lineup.
For the 2021 model year, Dodge delivers the drag-strip dominating
807-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, the new
797-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Redeye, the most powerful and
fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and the new
