2020 Dodge Charger: Widebody Arrives, and a 501-Car Daytona 50th

This record's own overview states that Dodge's 2020 prices, before $1,495 destination, ran from $29,895 for the SXT to $45,995 for the new Scat Pack Widebody and $69,645 for the SRT Hellcat Widebody, which made 717 horsepower. It adds that the Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition, announced August 14, 2019 on the Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody at $74,140, was limited to 501 cars, a figure Dodge tied to its own count for the 1969 Daytona, offered in B5 Blue exclusive to the edition, Pitch Black, Triple Nickel or White Knuckle, with an "x out of 501" instrument-panel badge and 20x11-inch Warp Speed wheels; no 2020 model-year production figure was found, and FCA reported 77,425 US Charger sales for calendar 2020.^1,2,3

This record's own key facts restate the Daytona 50th's 501-unit limit, $74,140 price and 717-horsepower rating, and the 77,425-unit calendar-2020 sales figure. Its production rows carry the 501-unit figure explicitly as an announced limit rather than a built count, with a note stating plainly that the number echoes Dodge's own figure for the 1969 Daytona, while adding that the 1969 total itself is disputed and that dispute belongs to this record's own 1969 file rather than being resolved here.^2,1

This record's own production rows also carry a total row that reuses the 77,425-unit calendar-year sales figure as the best available substitute, since the record's own notes state that no 2020 model-year production total was ever published for any trim, including the Daytona 50th itself. This record's own unpublished leads section is empty for 2020, a gap it carries without substitution rather than filling with an unsourced figure.³

This record's own prices section documents eight distinct trims from $29,895 SXT RWD up to $74,140 for the Daytona 50th, each excluding the same $1,495 destination charge. Its engines section documents the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 carrying three separate ratings, a factory-advertised 717 horsepower, a certified 707 horsepower for the standard Widebody on premium fuel, and 717 horsepower again under the Daytona 50th's own calibration, alongside the 3.6-liter Pentastar, 5.7-liter HEMI and 392 HEMI engines carried over from the standard range.^1,4

This record's own performance section documents five separate manufacturer claims: a 3.6-second 0-60 and 10.96-second quarter mile for the Hellcat Widebody, a 196-mph top speed for the same car dated to an earlier June 2019 release, and a 4.3-second 0-60 with a 12.4-second quarter mile for the Scat Pack Widebody, all explicitly labeled manufacturer claims rather than independently verified figures. Its options section documents the Widebody Package's 3.5-inch-wider fender flares and competition adaptive suspension, standard on the SRT Hellcat Widebody and optional on Scat Pack.^1,5,6

This record's own identification section documents the Daytona 50th's "x out of 501" instrument-panel badge as its sole distinguishing marker recorded here, and its paint section lists eight colors beyond the four offered on the Daytona 50th itself, three of them, Frostbite, Hellraisin and Sinamon Stick, marked new with late availability. This record's own conflicts section is empty for 2020, even though its own production notes are careful to flag that the Daytona 50th's 501-count echo of 1969 is not itself a claim this record verifies against that earlier year.^2,5
