Even in its base model body form, the Dodge Challenger is wider than most vehicles on the road. For an even wider and more aggressive look, you have to get a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody. The best part is that it has the performance to match the aggressive looks. Originally introduced with the Challenger SRT Demon, the widebody design accommodates wider wheels and beefier tires. It quickly became synonymous with more muscle, leading Dodge to include it in the Widebody package starting in 2019. The 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody remained largely unchanged, except for a little bit more power and the dreaded discontinuation of the six-speed manual transmission. Along with the distinctive widebody fender flares, the package includes wider wheels, performance tires, and a sport-tuned suspension, among other features.
Along with the widebody, Dodge also included a subtle engine revision for 2019, which saw a power increase from 707 horsepower and 650 lb.ft to 717 horsepower and 656 lb.ft in the Challenger SRT Hellcat. The increase wasn't substantial, but the Widebody package drew enough attention to overshadow any complaints from fans. The 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody has similar power figures, resulting in a 0-60 time of a dodge-claimed 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 203 mph. If you spend most of your time at the dragstrip, the quarter mile should take 11.8 seconds at 125 mph. Considering the car weighs roughly 4,500 pounds, 10 seconds is possible with some weight shedding.
The leather, soft-touch materials, and bits of carbon fiber in the cabin are nice touches, but they can't hide the fact that Dodge hasn't updated the Challenger's layout since the third generation's debut. Every Challenger's interior looks essentially the same, with variations in emblems and material quality being the only differences. In the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, you get leather comfort seats with SRT badging on the backrests. The side bolstering is there, but it's not enough to keep you in the seats on a track day. But at least you get a heating function and ventilation, which even higher-priced sports cars don't get as standard. On the dashboard, there's a responsive 8.4-inch infotainment display that provides access to the car's essentials, controls the stereo, and can transform into a virtual race track readout, allowing you to analyze and improve your driving.
Visually, the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody makes a bold statement about its power thanks to the widebody. The wider stance gives the car a more menacing look, which is elevated by the aggressive front splitter, signatory Hellcat headlights, and imposing hood scoops, which hint at what lies underneath the hood. Other design cues remain similar to the standard body Hellcat except for the wider wheels and tires. Overall, every line and curve showcases the car's power, leaving you eager to drive it more each time you glance at it.
What sets the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody apart from most competitors is its well-balanced tech suite that offers something for everyone, whether you value performance, comfort, or convenience. Inside, the 8.4-inch infotainment display stands out as best-in-class, offering not only the functions mentioned earlier but also wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. It provides access to real-time data such as 0-60 times, lap times, and horsepower readings. Alongside essential driver assists and safety features, a suite of performance technologies enhances the car's capabilities to achieve its utmost potential. These include Launch Assist, Line Lock, and Torque Reserve. Furthermore, the drive modes adjust every aspect of the vehicle based on your driving preferences, with a custom mode allowing individual configuration of each parameter, including throttle response.
The 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody is still relatively new, so its prices are similar to its MSRP.
