Dodge debuts limited-production 717-horsepower Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition on new 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody If youve held off buying a Dodge Charger Hellcat because it only has 707 horsepower, get your wallet ready. Theres now a Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition available on the new 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody that boosts its 6.2-L Hemi V8 engine to 717 horses.The new model, introduced during the annual Woodward Dream Cruise near Detroit, makes 717 horsepower, along with 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The trick is an increase in the shift points to 6,100 rpm in automatic mode, which yields the 10-horsepower boost exclusive to the model. As a tribute to the 1969 Charger Daytona, its limited to 501 units as the original was, and features unique Daytona decals with a matching spoiler.Four colours will be available B5 Blue, Pitch Black, Triple Nickel, and White Knuckle while other features include unique 20-inch Warp Speed wheels with Pirelli all-season or optional three-season performance tires, Brembo brakes, carbon fibre interior accents, blue-stitched seats, a suede flat-bottom steering wheel, and a plaque indicating the production number. A unique “Daytona” decklid, rear-quarter decal with matching spoiler and Daytona-exclusive B5 Blue paint are throwbacks to the 50th Anniversary. Like the legendary 1969 Daytona, production of the Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition is limited to 501 units. Handout / Dodge Like all Chargers, the Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition will be built in Brampton, Ontario. It pays tribute to the Dodge Charger Dayton introduced fifty years ago, which included a large rear wing and nose for NASCAR, and which was the first car to break 200 mph (320 km/h). Only 501 were built because that was the minimum needed to qualify for the race circuit.Dodge claims that the 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody is the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world. The widebody styling adds 8.8 centimetres to the car, along with wider wheels and tires.Pricing hasnt been announced, but Canadian enthusiasts will be able to order theirs this fall, with delivery in early
