2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody | MotorWeek Track Test 

John Davis is a living legend! And I think just 30 some odd years ago he was reviewing 70 horsepower Dodge Colts 😅

This dude is still alive !! I am 36 and used to watch this guy as a kid!! That crazy

John Davis-the GOAT of Motorweek. Everyone else there: update your resumes.

I've been watching this guy's reviews my entire life, at least 3 decades

I remember as a kid when John Davis reviewed the 1997 Grand prix GTP with it's supercharged engine making 240hp and 280 torques. I thought that car was amazing at the time. Here we are 24 years later with a Charger that makes nearly 800hp and 700 torques. Unlike 24 years ago, this car is the end of an era. These high hp v8s in our cars and trucks right now won't be around much longer. EVs will take over, and one day it will be a distant memory when high HP v8s roamed the streets. EVs will never be able to replace the sound and excitement that a gasoline engine with a supercharger can produce.

The Hellcat lineup is classic American muscle. Loud V8, RWD, straight line speed, burnouts, drifting, and fun times at the track where you get a bit loose but gain control without losing much speed.

This car has been strong for 15 years all trim models too

Dang almost 800 horsepower better than the other love the sound of it and yet it's still a monster for the guys and a good street car

Motor week is how I got introduced to my love of cars when I was a kid, and now at 33 I still watch it 😊😊

The Chrysler 300 Should Come In “Super Bird” Trim with Enhanced Aerodynamics! & That Aqua Blue Now that’d be Epic!

I love how they always complain about tracking these cars. I still run a 2010 plum crazy challenger srt8 with a six speed. Edelbrock supercharged, hotckis springs and sway bars, with from and rear tower braces and chassis x brace, on 275 cup tires. No weight reduction, consistent 1.21 lap times. That’s pretty good considering a ZR1 professionally driven does that track in 1.22.

Wow...we live in the new heyday of factory performance when a 700 hp car that runs a 12 second flat 1/4 is considered slow... AMERICA!!! 🇺🇸🏁

An iconic legend and im not talking about the charger..

Long live John Davis!

That Orange paint looks stunning!

The Dodge Charger is just another car but you Sir ( John Davis ) are a living legend. I've seen your review videos from the 1980s to right now. Can't wait to see your next reviews. 😎👍

A 12 second 1/4 mile in a Redeye? Bone stock 392's are running the quarter in the high 11s - low 12s. Motorweek needs to hire test drivers who actually know how to drive!

looks like a NASCAR with doors built for the street…. not bad

I just have narrow body 707hp Charger, still fun as hell!

Seems like the only automotive brand keeping it real with v8 muscle for a while is dodge!👌🥰👉♥️freaking awesome!👍

Dodge did it right!! Only thing better would’ve been to make a smaller 2 door coupe weighting less than the challenger and Charger💜💜

Damn near the longest car name ever lol

It needs an AWD in order to put all that power down nicely.

'What kind of car is that?' It's a Dodge Charger. 'I see' SRT 'ah' Hellcat 'cool' Redeye 'you done?' widebody

As an owner of a 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat 6-speed manual, I absolutely love the car. I don't care that it's "too heavy". When you are behind the wheel driving it, all you feel is torque and too much power for the street and a worry you will spin the tires at any time with little to no effort. Just something about knowing what the car can do without doing it often on the streets is just so satisfying to know. I usually just enjoy the car on cruises. It's my weekend car, but unfortunately has been garage kept for about a year now because other personal issues in life happened. But I start it up ever so often and glorious to listen to cold starts😀😎

Love watching John on MotorWeek since the 80's ..RIP Pat Goss...

It's going to be a sad day when they quit building these...

Gotta love when the 800 hp Hellcat does the 1/4 slower than the 485 hp SP 1320.

No use of all that power if you can't use it

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!! THE PERFECT GROCERY-GETTER, DRIFTER, AUTO CROSSER, & FAMILY CRUISER!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! TO MUCH FUN!!!!!! PERFECT FOR ROUTE 66!!!

I came close to getting one of these until I sat inside of it the thing has the interior of the cheap v6 rental car

I believe red-eye is an awesome car and seen it do 1/4 mile in mid 10's or better. I would take that cool sounding V8 over any Tesla plaid crap.

Just curious. Why is it that your 797hp Charger Redeye 0-60 was only 4 seconds and quarter mile a shocking 12 seconds???. Dodge rates the Charger Redeye at 3.6 and 10.6 respectively. Even I could do 3.9 and 11.88 with the 707hp Charger Hellcat….

Love Mopar and John Davis! Great video! :D

One of the greatest brief reviews I’ve ever seen! John Davis is awesome!!!

That name is insane. Lol Next year Dodge be like: 2022 Dodge charger SRT Hellcat Red-eye widebody with telsa autopilot ft Dante of the devil may cry series And Knuckles. Serious note: what a hype car.

Long Live The Hellcat

The full name is a mouthful

I drove a charger rt and I wasn’t impressed by it. It felt to heavy and I felt like I was sitting up to high. It needs a proper redesign

Amazing car for sure...who would have thought watching this show back in the 80's when a 240hp Vette was the highest HP car you could buy and we were excited over it also...then in 89 they introduced the out of this world 385HP ZR1 and we were in awe...lol...long live this show and long live the muscle cars because the electric crap will take over soon.

797 HP/707 ft/lbs of Torque and govt fuel ratings- seems a rather odd combination. Thank God Dodge has not yet forsaken the American muscle car scene w/this outrageous supercharged V8. Long live Dodge!

That is a cool sedan. Respect to Dodge.

Whoever Thumbs 👎 this doesn't understand American Muscle 💪 cars.

Need drag radials.

John Davis is kinda immortal at this point.

Haters gonna hate, but thank God Dodge will be the very last to go all electric. We will certainly miss these when they're gone. I have 2016 Challenger and a 2020 Red Eye Charger that I hope to have until the end of time. Its not the quickest, most luxurious, or even the best handling car...but they have an excellent combo that makes it in a class all its own.(the closest thing these days is a $100K CT5-Blackwing, another phenomenal American ride). Interestingly, I also avg about 16-16.5MPG, which is insane for something with nearly 800hp and can be daily driven.

Most powerful and fastest mass produced sedan in the world? Tesla Model S Plaid would like to have a word with you.

Love the exterior but the interior is getting old already. Dodge REALLY needs to add AWD to all the V8 cars already!

Who needs the extra doors on a machine like this; I'd take the more badass looking Challenger.

The Most Repoed Hero in America 😂😂😂

Best American performance brand currently by far.

It has that much power and only wants 12 seconds in the quarter mile

Seems strange that a cheap Electric Car can make this car look slow like the Tesla model 3 and can even out do the new Corvette and the Model S Plaid kills everything even highly modified cars. Funny he even mentioned that the fact that a EV is faster .

Actually Bentley Flying Spur is the fastest sedan. Hellcat SRT is in the third place tied with Panamera Turbo S at 197mph

Wretched excess! 🏁👌🏼 Chrysler always does it differently.

Dodge is like ,well if Chevy is guna discontinue the Camaro, we mite as well take sum style Q's from the 1LE Camaro! BLK hood an spoiler an wheels! 😏🤭🤣 LoL

12.0 second someone can’t drive it is a 10 sec car allday

not a fan, glad they make them.

What's up Mr.Davis!

*The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody is cool but I'm gonna hold onto my money until they come out with the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Demon Viper Unlimited GT Ultimate Limited Track Pack Heritage Edition.*

The marketing team first decided on the “Brown Eye” because this car would leave some serious skid marks. But they soon learned about the scatalogical implications. Next they tried the “Pink Eye” because this car would really put up a stink. But they soon realized the insensitivity to the medical condition. Then they settled on “Red Eye” but unfortunately haven’t yet encountered the meme Goatse.

12.0 really 12.0 someone take the keys away from who ever is driving. I have one of these on order. I have a 18 hellcat now I run 11.6 all day on the the stock tires and 11.2 ish with a set of Mickey ET street R at a 4000 DA in Canada. Oh my 12.0 someone needs to learn how to drive 😂😂😂

Shenandoah Circuit is not kind to big boats!

I got to drive a Hellcat Challenger out at Radford in Phoenix. The supercharger whine is intoxicating, but off the line performance is hampered by the fact that it just can't put all that power down.

Has DODGE "sampled" with an E-Cat yet?

Alex trabeck is gone, if John passes, I feel as if my childhood and adulthood fav ppl will be forever gone.

Wow: yet another Charger with a body kit and black trim. Old & dated the day it's released. But just like Swisher bluntwraps, Dodge can't go wrong with any product variation, as there's a built-in market waiting to snap them up. Ironically, it's most likely the same demographic.

be nice if dodge made a normal size car with these drivetrains.

God they need to update that interior

Challenger and Charger still on the same 1999 Mercedes platform. Unbelievable.

I got a Dodge charger that's a POS been to the dealership 3 times and they can't fix it and I will never buy another dodge

Wait a minute! I have a 2015 Audi S4 V6 with a Stage 1 034 ECU and TCU tune. I break 3.7 sec day in and day out at 60 MPH.

I'm about to get me the chevy demontrack blues eyes white dragon zl1

I have I 2017 and yea it's amazing...I love mine ....💯💪😁👍😊🚗

I'm sorry, but I'll never believe in a four-door Charger. '86' the rear doors, please.

82k and 800 hp 0-60 4 seconds is terrible. Should be 3 seconds or quicker.

12seconds for a 700hp car is ridiculously slow!

Love that color 👏👏👏😁😁😁 Great Job Dodge GREAT JOB !!

This are dope. But just think, the corvette did 4 seconds in the 90s with a NA engine

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Heck yeah! Banging them gears!!! Wait …

King John!

I WANT ONE PLEASE!!!

Looks like they were strolling 30mph around the track lol

It is just get off the assembly line but it is already a classic one because Tesla create a situation. Get now nor never

It has an ENGINE, NOT A MOTOR!!!!

"... there arose ... a tempestuous wind, we let her drive."

Dodge is closing out the end of an era. The ICE ENGINE will be out of production before we know it. That will be a sad day. But until that day comes, Dodge is going to make sure that we have fun till the end!

700 years I've been watching this guy... From the 1 horsepower horse to the 800 horsepower Redeye. Crazy how us immortals barely age. 🛸💨 🚗💨 🏇🏾💨 😆

Grab them there are only 5000 that is it and the factory is closing in brampton in less than 2 years the new concept is going to Belvidere

Lol@3:04....did this thing just went airborne?....Wow, I jumped off my chair

Long live the hellcats!!!

I just wanna see John David 😮😮😮😂😂😂

12 second quarter mile?? Weak

Stop talking over the exhaust and supercharger sounds. 12 flat is pretty meh for that car, maybe the engine wasnt broken in yet

Not for $82K...$45-$50 I can work with. C63 AMG where you at?

Nice car, bulky HP & thick S-belt

Out of all the hellcats made, I'd take an original 2015 hellcat Challenger narrow body in black with chrome wheels. FTW!

You did not do BMW M550i track test 😒

Hey John. Man where have you been..
