The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the most expensive production Dodge ever at a starting price of $133,421. With 840 horsepower from the factory, this limited production dragstrip dominator is set to maintain its record pricing due to high demand and low supply. Get ready to pay a premium when shopping for this brutally quick Challenger.
When it comes to American muscle, the Dodge Challenger is an icon. Its aggressive, retro-inspired styling turns heads on the street, while its available supercharged V8 engines provide incredible straight-line performance. Dodge offers the Challenger in a range of trim levels and pricing, from the more affordable GT and R/T models all the way up to the face-melting SRT Demon which tips the scales at over $130,000.
Custom builds and limited edition models can push Challenger pricing even higher. While six-figure price tags may seem outrageous for a Dodge, some of these exclusive cars offer over 800 horsepower from the factory paired with drag racing focused packages. Plus, their production is severely constrained, making them that much more desirable to collectors and enthusiasts.
Top 10 Most Expensive Dodge Challenger
#10: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak
The Challenger SRT Jailbreak allows buyers to mix and match performance options that are typically bundled on other trim levels. Want the Widebody’s looks and handling with the Super Stock engine? Order up. It also includes a standard 807 horsepower Hellcat Redeye engine, so straight-line chops come built in. With a starting price over $80k, the Jailbreak lets you build your ultimate track day Challenger.
#9: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody
The Hellcat Widebody takes the Challenger’s already crazy 717 horsepower engine and menacing looks to new extremes. Wide fender flares cover massive 305-series tires at all four corners for traction to use and abuse all that power. Brembo brakes bring everything back under control while adaptive suspension keeps it planted in the corners. It’s the ultimate package for taming the Hellcat on road and track.
#8: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock
The limited-production SRT Super Stock is one of the quickest muscle cars available from the factory. The 807 horsepower engine comes equipped with a high-output supercharger for ludicrous acceleration down the strip. Low-drag brakes and suspension tuning make it more home on the track than the street, along with race car-like lightweight wheels. Plus, it looks the business in Widebody trim.
#7: Rare & Limited Edition Models
Being produced for only one model year makes any car that much more sought after by collectors, especially high-performance Dodge Challengers. Owners know oddballs like the Challenger T/A, SRT 392 Yellow Jacket and SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak will be valuable down the road thanks to their rarity, so prices climb. Finding one with ultra-low miles will cost you well into six-figure territory.
#6: Auctioned Challengers
With their renowned performance and style, Dodge Challengers are growing ever-more popular at high profile auctions like Mecum and Barrett-Jackson. Low mile one-owner survivors, celebrity owned cars, special order colors and configurations can push Hellcats and Demons well past their original sticker prices when they cross the block. While auction results vary wildly, it’s not unheard of for six-figure sales prices.
#5: Modified SRT Hellcat Challengers
It’s expected owners will modify their Challenger SRT Hellcats, with some owners spending more than the car’s original purchase price again on upgrades! From custom widebody kits to complete engine rebuilds adding superchargers, nitrous, headers and tunes, customized Hellcats making over 1,000 horsepower demand premium pricing. At over $100,000 invested, these modified monsters justify their expensive upgrades and horsepower numbers.
#4: High-Mileage Collectible Examples
To the average person a Dodge Challenger with 100,000+ miles may seem worn out and worthless. But to collectors, an unmolested, time capsule example with a documented ownership history tells the car’s whole story at a glance. Survivor muscle cars like this are immensely popular with prices reflecting their originality and rising value. While any Challenger will likely not hold value as a daily driver, those seldom few kept in incredible vintage shape are the exception.
#3: Custom Builds
Personalized custom Dodge Challengers built ground-up are popping up more often at SEMA shows and elite open house events. With no limit on performance upgrades or personalization, everything is on the table if the check clears. From custom coachbuilt bodies, hand-fabricated turbo systems and luxurious interiors, these re-imagined Challengers perfectly capture their owner’s tastes and style. Build prices routinely clear the $200,000 mark for these muscle car unicorns.
#2: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody
If insanity was legally available at your local Dodge dealer, this is it. The Redeye Widebody takes the already outrageous 797 horsepower Hellcat Redeye engine and gives its chassis the Widebody treatment with fat tires, adaptive suspension and torque vectoring to make it as capable in corners as it is bananas in a straight line. A 0-60 mph sprint of just 3.4 seconds is supercar quick, but at a blue collar price.
#1: 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
The limited production Challenger SRT Demon is high performance motoring at its most outrageous and the most expensive production Dodge ever. 840 horsepower straight from the factory make it the most powerful muscle car you can buy. An NHRA certified 9.65 second quarter mile time shows Dodge was serious about dominating the strip.
With production capped at just 3,300 cars over a single model year, finding a Demon is harder than harnessing its world-beating speed. Whatever your budget, get ready for a ride when shopping for the most expensive Challengers ever offered to the public. Dodge shows no signs of easing up on power or pricing as we set our sights on even more over-the-top performance models still to come. Buckle up!
