2023 Jailbreak Challenger

Oct 27, 2022 at 6:14pm ET

This is the last year for the Dodge Charger and Challenger as we know them. Dodge is discontinuing the two long-running models as the automaker prepares for an electrified future. But before that arrives, the final models have to find homes, and Dodge is making it easier than ever to find the one you want with its new Horsepower Locator tool that does more than inform you of your nearest dealer. Oh, and the order books are open now.

You can find the locator online at DodgeGarage.com. Prospective buyers can search for their desired Dodge down to the model and trim level, even including the special-edition cars, and this is possible because Dodge has already allocated nearly all 2023 Charger and Challenger models to dealers. Dodge will update the locator daily, Monday through Friday, for the next few months of ordering. The locator will update with the available vehicle allocation as orders are processed.

SXT $32,140
SXT AWD $35,140
GT $35,440
GT AWD $38,440

Both can reach six figures, with the wicked Challenger Black Ghost Special Edition and Charger King Daytona Special Edition commanding $100,910 and $100,015, respectively. Dodge has not announced the seventh and final Last Call model, so keep an eye out for that.

B5 blue, Plum Crazy purple, Sublime green, and Destroyer Grey all return, with Dodge offering 14 exterior colors. Every 2023 model receives a commemorative underhood plaque.

The days of the supercharged Hellcat V8 are numbered, but don't tell that to Hennessey. Amid Dodge's recent unveiling of special Last Call models comes this monster from the Texas tuning shop. It's called – deep breath –  The Hennessey HPE1000 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak. And by the time you read that, it will either be going over 100 mph or atomizing copious amounts of rubber. Or both.

You know the drill at Hennessey. Take fast cars, add more power, and make them faster. In this instance, Hennessey starts with the already capable Challenger Widebody Jailbreak prepackaged with 807 horsepower. The supercharger is massaged, pulleys are swapped, new headers and exhaust are bolted up, there's a new intake, new fuel injectors, and an engine tune to make it all work together. The end result is 1,000 horsepower, 948 pound-feet of torque, and a V8 soundtrack that sounds downright evil.

More Madness From Hennessey:

The HPE1000 isn't new to Hennessey's lineup, but this is the first time we've seen it applied to the Jailbreak. Launched near the end of 2021, the Jailbreak introduced a bevy of color combos and other customizations not available on other Challenger models. It also bumped the Hellcat V8 to 807 hp, giving it the slightest of advantages over a standard Hellcat Redeye. With 1,000 hp, Hennessey has obviously taken that to the next level while offering some peace-of-mind with a two-year, 24,000-mile warranty on the package.

Of course, Dodge is preparing to send the current-generation Challenger and its Hemi V8 into the sunset. The Detroit automaker announced seven Last Call models in August – special-edition Challengers and Chargers largely based on the naturally aspirated Scat Pack trim with 485 hp. Numbers five and six, however, stepped up to Redeye Widebody territory with the 807-hp Hellcat Hemi.

As for number seven, that's still a mystery. It was supposed to debut at the 2022 SEMA Show but it's been postponed. Rumors say it will be a version tuned to develop over 900 hp, making it the most powerful factory-built Dodge Challenger of them all, Demon or otherwise.

Will there be a 2023 jailbreak?

For 2023, as part of Dodge's celebration of V-8 power on the eve of its electrified future, every SRT model will get the Jailbreak option as standard—and Dodge will even help you locate a dealer with an SRT allocation.

Will there be a Dodge Challenger in 2023?

The Dodge Challenger and Charger will be no more after the 2023 model year — at least as internal-combustion-engined vehicles — but Dodge is giving the muscle cars a fitting send-off with a series of seven “Last Call” special editions.
