This record's own dek describes 2014 as the last year of the first revival body: the Shaker hood returns and sells out its 2,000-car run in four days, the Mopar '14 is filled in a day, and SRT8 becomes simply SRT. This record's own overview states that the range kept six non-SRT trims, SXT, SXT Plus, Rallye Redline, R/T, R/T Plus and R/T Classic, with the 305-hp Pentastar V-6 or the 5.7 HEMI, rated 375 hp manual and 372 hp automatic, every model gaining performance suspension, performance brakes and 20-inch wheels as standard, and the R/T starting at $30,495.1

The R/T Shaker brought back a functional engine-mounted hood scoop; Dodge said dealers ordered 2,000 cars, the entire planned 2014 model-year run, between January 7 and 10, 2014, at $36,995 or $37,495 with hood-to-tail stripes. The Mopar '14 Challenger, built on the Shaker in Pitch Black or Bright White and announced at 100 cars, had all 100 ordered on the first day, 52 in Pitch Black and 48 in Bright White, per this record's own overview and key facts.2,3

The SRT8 was renamed SRT, and a lower-priced SRT Core with Ballistic cloth seats was added, both with the 470-hp 392 HEMI. This record's own overview lists two further specials, the 100th Anniversary Edition at a $2,500 premium on the SXT Plus or R/T Plus and the SRT Satin Vapor Edition package at $1,700, neither with a published count; no 2014 model-year production total was found either, with Chrysler's reported 51,611 calendar-year 2014 US Challenger sales reused as the best available substitute.4,5,6,7

This record's own production section documents five worldwide color-production counts: 1,320 Plum Crazy, 3,178 Header Orange, 4,966 TorRed, and 1,715 High Octane Red cars exclusive to the 100th Anniversary Edition, alongside a Mopar '14 Shaker built split of 60 Pitch Black and 51 Bright White cars that this record's own note flags as exceeding the 100 ordered and announced, a genuine conflict this record keeps rather than resolves. Four engines are documented, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 at 305 hp, the 5.7 HEMI at 375 hp manual or 372 hp automatic with cylinder deactivation, and the 6.4-liter (392) SRT HEMI V-8 at 470 hp, alongside two transmissions, the TR-6060 six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the SRT and Shaker.8

This record documents an extensive options list: the R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 packages themselves, each carrying their own installation counts (2,000 and 100 respectively), the 100th Anniversary and SRT Satin Vapor packages, and lettered equipment groups spanning connectivity, sound, Blacktop and Redline appearance content. Twelve exterior colors are documented, six of them carrying the production or order counts noted above, alongside eight interior trim descriptions and a specifications section carrying preliminary curb weights of 3,834 lb for the SXT, 4,082 lb for the R/T, and an estimated 4,231 lb for the SRT automatic; this record's own performance section is empty for the year.9,10

This record's own identification section documents VIN codes distinguishing the base, R/T, SRT and SRT Core trims and confirming Brampton Assembly as the build plant. Its conflicts section logs the Mopar '14 production dispute already summarized above, the 100 cars announced and ordered against the 111 cars, 60 Pitch Black and 51 Bright White, that Dodge's own 2015 production table records as built, with this record's own treatment showing both figures and explicitly declining to reconcile them.11

Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.

Dodge Challenger, calendar-year 2014 US sales (used as the best available total)7 2-door coupe · United States No 2014 model-year production total was ever published by Chrysler/FCA; this reuses the calendar-year US sales row above as the best available substitute. 51,611 sold, calendar-year Reported

The Mopar '14 colour rows partition that model's 100 orders, per the source.

No counts were published for the 100th Anniversary Edition or the Satin Vapor Edition. The 'total' row above reuses calendar-year US sales as the best available substitute.

The 2014 colour and Mopar '14 rows come from Dodge's limited-colour table (worldwide, published August 2015). The two Mopar '14 built rows (60 + 51) are Dodge's own split of that model by colour and exceed the 100 announced and ordered; the order and built rows are kept apart.

  • Chevrolet SS Holden-built, LS3-powered rear-drive sedan arrives in Chevrolet showrooms for 2014 with an automatic transmission only.
  • Chrysler 300 SRT SRT8 becomes SRT, the Core continues, and a $2,300 Satin Vapor package is offered; the SRT disappears from Chrysler's US 300 range after this year.
  • Dodge Charger The last year before the 2015 facelift: Dodge's 100th Anniversary Edition and an SRT Satin Vapor package, neither with a published count.
  • Ford Taurus SHO Ford advertises 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds, and the Performance Package now includes its own shocks and springs.
