2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Black Ghost

Description

This 2023 “Black Ghost” Challenger is a 74 mile, limited-run Last Call model that pays homage to a legendary piece of automotive history. Based on the Hellcat Redeye Widebody, this tribute edition draws direct inspiration from a rare, triple black 1970 Challenger R/T SE powered by the top-option 426 HEMI and topped by a Gator Grain texture roof. This car was celebrated for its elusive appearances on Detroit's street racing scene in the early to mid-1970s, earning its name the “Black Ghost”. The striking design of the 2023 “Black Ghost” recalls the iconic look of the original, featuring a sleek, black exterior paired with a contrasting white tail stripe that is instantly recognizable.

The exterior styling is steeped in vintage cues, with a gator print vinyl roof that adds a unique edge to its appearance. Classic “Challenger” script is tastefully applied on the grille, fenders, and rear spoiler, complemented by traditional DODGE lettering on the front fascia. Further nods to its heritage include a chrome fuel door and hood pins, along with a dedicated Black Ghost badge positioned on the passenger side of the dash, reinforcing the car's connection to its storied past. This particular example is remarkably modern in its condition, having only 74 miles on the clock, a testament to its careful stewardship and rarity.

Under the hood, the car is powered by a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 engine that produces 807 horsepower and 707 ft-lb of torque. This remarkable power is mated to a TorqueFlite HP90 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring seamless performance and dynamic responsiveness. The driving experience is further enhanced by the inclusion of Adaptive Bilstein dampers, while the high-performance Brembo brakes and “Warp Speed” Satin Carbon wheels, paired with 305/35ZR20 Pirelli P-Zero tires at all four corners, collectively deliver precision handling and grip.

Inside the cabin, the focus on premium materials and advanced technology creates an atmosphere that is both luxurious and performance-oriented. The interior features an alcantara headliner and a steering wheel wrapped in the same high-quality material, while the seating—crafted from a blend of alcantara and Laguna leather—provides comfort and style. Carbon fiber trim accents throughout the cockpit add a modern flair, and the inclusion of an 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system ensures that drivers have easy access to controls for SRT Drive Modes and SRT Performance Pages.

In essence, the “Black Ghost” is more than just a high-performance muscle car; it is a carefully curated tribute that blends contemporary engineering with nostalgic design cues from an era defined by its raw power and mystique. With only 300 units produced, this 74 mile example stands as a collectible masterpiece that not only delivers exhilarating performance but also encapsulates a celebrated chapter in the history of American muscle.
