What is the highest speed of Dodge Challenger?
The fastest factory Dodge Challenger tops out at 203 mph, a speed reached by the Hellcat Redeye and the SRT Super Stock. The Demon, despite its blistering acceleration, has a top speed of 168 mph. These figures come from official specs and contemporary testing, and real-world speeds can vary with tires and aero configurations.
As the Dodge Challenger lineup evolved, engineers tuned a handful of models to push the performance envelope. It’s also worth noting that the Challenger’s production wound down after the 2023 model year, so the speeds cited reflect the final factory lineup available to buyers.

Model highlights and details
2015–2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Powered by a 6.2-liter Hemi producing 707 horsepower, the Hellcat tops out at 199 mph. It remains a benchmark for straight-line performance in the Challenger family and helped redefine modern muscle-car speed.
2018–2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
The Drag-focused Demon delivered up to 840 horsepower (with race fuel) and achieved a top speed of 168 mph. It emphasized quarter-mile acceleration and unique factory features for drag racing rather than maximum road speed.
2019–2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
With about 797 horsepower, the Redeye pushed the top speed to 203 mph. It paired higher output with broader mid-range torque for faster highway passes while retaining the Hellcat’s aggressive character.
2023–2024 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock
At roughly 807 horsepower, the Super Stock matched the Redeye’s top speed at 203 mph, making it one of the most extreme production Challengers in the model’s history and the culmination of Dodge’s high-performance experiments in this platform.
Summary
In the modern Challenger lineup, 203 mph stands as the top factory speed, reached by the Hellcat Redeye and the SRT Super Stock. The Demon remains the standout for straight-line acceleration and drag-ring performance, but its top speed is substantially lower. With production ending after 2023, these figures represent the final chapter of the Challenger’s high-speed capabilities.
