2014 Dodge Charger: A 100th Anniversary Edition With No Published Count

This record's own overview states that for 2014 the Charger's VIN code DXE names the top model "SRT" rather than "SRT8," and that Dodge marked its centenary with a 100th Anniversary Edition on the SXT Plus and R/T Plus, $2,200 over the base trim, offered in seven colors plus an exclusive High Octane Red Pearl, with Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa leather and "Dodge Est. 1914" badges. It adds that the SRT Satin Vapor Edition package cost $2,330 on the Charger SRT, that no quantity was published for either special edition, and that FCA's December 2015 report gives 94,099 US Charger sales for calendar 2014.^1,2,3,4

This record's own key facts restate the 100th Anniversary Edition's $2,200 premium and state plainly that its count was never published, the same gap this record's own production notes describe for the year as a whole. Its production rows nonetheless carry a 1,490-unit built figure for the High Octane Red 100th Anniversary cars specifically, drawn from the same 2015 factory paint-production table used elsewhere in this record's own family, with a note explaining that the edition was also offered in seven other colors with no corresponding rows, so this figure is not an edition total.^2,5

This record's own production rows also carry 658 R/T and SRT cars built globally in Plum Crazy, 1,638 Chargers built in Header Orange across all models with a note that a separate 74-unit Header Orange SRT Super Bee row may or may not already be included in that all-models figure, since the source does not say, and 7,724 cars built in TorRed. A total row reuses the 94,099-unit calendar-year sales figure as the best available substitute, since no 2014 model-year production total or special-edition count was ever published.⁵

This record's own engines section documents the 6.4-liter SRT HEMI at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft for SRT, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 at 292 horsepower standard rising to 300 with the Rallye Appearance Group, Redline, Blacktop or AWD Sport package, and the 5.7-liter HEMI at 370 horsepower for R/T variants. Its transmissions section documents the WA580 five-speed automatic standard on SE, R/T and SRT, and the new 845RE eight-speed automatic standard on SXT and SXT Plus with SE offering it as an option.^3,6,7

This record's own prices section documents four price points from $30,495 for base R/T up to $32,290 for SXT Plus with leather and 20-inch wheels. Its options section documents the 100th Anniversary Edition and SRT Satin Vapor Edition packages by their stated prices, alongside a Redline Package, a Blacktop Package, an AWD Sport Package, and an SRT 392 Special Edition Group, none of the last four carrying a published price in this record's own fields.^8,7

This record's own identification section documents VIN model codes distinguishing DXE for SRT from DXG for Superbee and DXA for Police across RWD and AWD, and separately documents engine codes G for 3.6-liter, T for 5.7-liter and J for 6.4-liter alongside model-year code E and plant code H for Brampton. This record's own conflicts and performance sections are both empty for 2014, the last model year before the 2015 facelift this record's own dek identifies, a gap it carries without substitution even though two separate special editions went undocumented for their build counts that same year.¹
