2011 Dodge Charger: Redesigned, No SRT8, and a Mopar Edition That Outbuilt Its Own Limit

This record's own overview states that the redesigned 2011 Charger, built at Brampton from December 2010, was offered as SE, R/T and R/T AWD with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 or a 370-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, and that no SRT8 appears in the 2011 range as Dodge's own heritage release describes it. It adds that the Mopar '11 Charger, announced April 12, 2011, was a 1,000-car limited edition in Pitch Black with Mopar Blue stripes, a 370-horsepower HEMI, Super Track Pak, a 3.91 axle and Katzkin leather, priced at $39,750 including destination and built at Brampton before being completed at Windsor, and that Chrysler reported 70,089 US Charger sales for calendar 2011.^1,2,3,4

This record's own conflicts section documents a genuine quantity dispute for the Mopar '11: the April 2011 launch release announced a limited edition of 1,000 cars, while Dodge's own August 2015 factory paint-production table gives 1,500 built in Pitch Black under the same Mopar '11 model line. The record's own treatment shows the announced limit and the later factory built figure side by side, stating plainly that the difference between them is not explained in either source.^3,5

This record's own production rows carry both Mopar '11 figures directly, the 1,000-unit announced edition size and the 1,500-unit built figure, with the record's own notes stating that the built figure exceeds the announced size and that both are kept rather than one replacing the other. A separate row carries 5,205 Chargers built globally in Toxic Orange across all 2011 models, and a total row reuses the 70,089-unit calendar-year sales figure since no 2011 model-year production total was ever published.^5,4

This record's own prices section documents eleven separate starting price points from the October 2010 pricing release, from $25,170 for the base SE up to $37,320 for R/T AWD with the Max Package, alongside the Mopar '11's own $39,750 including-destination price. Its engines section documents the 3.6-liter Pentastar at 292 horsepower for the SE and the 5.7-liter HEMI at 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft for R/T, R/T AWD and the Mopar '11, and its transmissions section documents the W5A580 five-speed automatic with AutoStick on the Mopar '11 and R/T.^6,7

This record's own options section documents package-level equipment across Rallye, Rallye Plus, Enforcer, R/T Plus, R/T Road & Track and R/T Max, each with its own named feature list, alongside the Mopar '11's own Super Track Pak, strut-tower braces, 20-inch Envy wheels and 345/320mm rotors. Its identification section documents VIN position codes for drivetrain, model and assembly plant read directly from a federal VIN coding guide, distinguishing L for RWD from M for AWD in the fifth position and naming Brampton Assembly as plant code H.^8,9

This record's own specifications section documents curb weights of 3,961 pounds for SE RWD, 4,253 for R/T RWD and 4,450 for R/T AWD, plus a 120.2-inch wheelbase and a 0.297 drag coefficient shared across the line. This record's own performance section is empty for 2011, a gap it carries without substitution even though its own overview states plainly that no SRT8 was offered that year, leaving the Mopar '11 and its 370-horsepower HEMI as the closest performance-oriented model this record documents for the year.⁷
