This record's own overview states that the 2022 fact sheet lists eight Charger models, SXT and GT with RWD or AWD, R/T, Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye, all with an eight-speed automatic, with ratings of 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft for the V-6, 370/395 for the 5.7 HEMI, 485/475 for the 392 HEMI, 717/650 for Hellcat and 797/707 for Redeye, and Dodge claiming 3.6 seconds to 60 mph and 203 mph for the Redeye. It adds that Jailbreak, a $995 option on the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody announced in November 2021, removed ordering restrictions across more than 20 categories and raised output to 807 horsepower, with no 2022 model-year production figure found while FCA reported 80,074 US Charger sales for calendar 2022.1,2,3

This record's own key facts restate the Redeye's 797-horsepower rating against the Jailbreak-equipped Redeye Widebody's 807 horsepower for its $995 option price, and the 80,074-unit calendar-2022 sales figure. Its production notes state plainly that no 2022 model-year production total or Jailbreak count was found, leaving the calendar-year sales row as the only production-adjacent figure this record carries for the entire model year, including for the Jailbreak option itself.1,2

This record's own engines section documents the supercharged 6.2-liter high-output V-8 carrying three distinct ratings within a single engine entry: 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft as the Redeye's factory-advertised output, 807 horsepower under the Redeye Widebody Jailbreak calibration with no accompanying torque figure, and a separately stated 707 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm from the manufacturer spec sheet. This record's own prices section is empty for 2022, a gap it carries without substitution even though its options section documents the Jailbreak's own $995 price directly.1,2,4

This record's own options section documents Jailbreak at $995, a $2,995 HEMI Orange appearance package on GT RWD bundled with a Performance Handling package's four-piston Brembos, a separate $1,500 HEMI Orange package for Scat Pack Widebody with orange six-piston Brembos and Carbon Black Warp Speed wheels, and a $695 SRT Black appearance package for Hellcat and Redeye with Midnight Grey Metallic badging. Its interiors section documents Jailbreak-exclusive Hammerhead Grey Laguna leather seats as a distinct entry from the six standard color combinations otherwise listed.2,5,6

This record's own specifications section documents engine assembly plants directly, the 3.6-liter V-6 at Trenton South in Michigan and both the 5.7-liter and supercharged 6.2-liter engines at Saltillo in Mexico, alongside four EPA combined fuel-economy figures from 23 mpg for the V-6 down to 15 mpg for Hellcat and Redeye. Its performance section carries a single manufacturer claim, the Redeye's 3.6-second 0-60, dated to the same September 2021 fact sheet as the model list and engine table.4,1

This record's own paint section lists thirteen colors, five of them explicitly marked as coming from a partial list in the source rather than the full Available Exterior Colors table. This record's own identification and conflicts sections are both empty for 2022, a gap the record carries without substitution even though its own overview is explicit that Jailbreak's ordering-restriction removal spanned more than 20 separate categories.1

Coverage: Partial — researched sections are shown; missing ones are not yet sourced. Researched through 2026-09-23.

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.
