Everything You Should Know About Dodge’s Jailbreak Muscle Cars

Dodge muscle cars have been at the top of the food chain for more years than can be counted on two hands. When the Hellcat Charger and the Hellcat Challenger came onto the market in 2015, nothing on the American market could come close to the 707 horsepower the engines produced. Not to mention that the top speed of either Dodge Hellcat was over 200 miles an hour, which puts the car up into the supercar class. But for the people at Dodge, that was still not enough. The executives and designers wanted to offer options for the 2022 Dodge Hellcat Charger and Challenger.


Not just the same old simple options that every other carmaker was offering, but ones that gave the buyer the ability to modify and adjust the car when ordering it from the factory. To top it off, Dodge was also willing to throw in a bit more horsepower to sweeten the deal. This is the idea behind the Jailbreak package, which gives the buyer the power to choose cosmetic alterations that match their own personal desires, making the car more of a piece of art than a muscle car.

This, of course, is not entirely the truth because these two particular works of art do look awesome on the street, but they are more than capable of taking on all comers at the track. Let’s dive deeper into what the Jailbreak package can offer when added onto the Dodge Hellcat Redeye Challenger or the Dodge Hellcat Redeye Charger.

One thing that the majority of muscle cars, sports cars, and supercars have in common is that they are designed with two doors. Even though many of them can still carry up to five people, getting into the back seats can be a complete pain in the neck, especially for full-grown adults. That is why the Dodge lineup of muscle gives the buyer an option of sticking with the two-door coupe or they can opt for a four-door sedan for easier access. Both the two-door Challenger and the four-door Charger have the same horsepower numbers. Still, the Charger has a little more torque because it is set up as an all-out muscle car. At the same time, the more docile Challenger was designed with family transportation in mind.

9 Jailbreak Option Increases Horsepower To 807

Until the 2022 addition of the Jailbreak Package, the Dodge Hellcat Widebody Redeye was the nation’s most powerful production muscle car. It offered an amazing 797 horsepower and 707 foot-pounds of torque, with a speedometer that shows up to 220 mph. Granted, the top speed of the beast was only 202 mph or so, but still, it can be intimidating to know that the car in the driveway can go that fast yet still haul the family around. To make things even more intense, when the Jailbreak option is checked off by the original owner, the horsepower increases another 10, offering up to 807 horsepower in the Dodge Charger or Dodge Challenger.

8 8 Different Stripe Options In Dodge’s Jailbreak Package

Choosing the color of the exterior body is not something new, so once that decision has been made by the original buyer, the background has been set for the striping options. The Dodge Jailbreak Package offers 8 different stripe options. Some of them are not actually what would be called a stripe. They have been included in this section because they are still differences that can be chosen that apply to the hood, roof, and trunk. The first two choices that can be made are to paint the hood or the roof black. The third would be to paint the roof, hood, and trunk lid matte black to give a full-width stripe. After that, some dual striping options can be picked, such as dual gunmetal stripes, dual blue stripes, dual silver stripes, dual carbon stripes, or the ever-popular dual red stripes.

7 7 Different Rim Style Options In The Jailbreak Package

The Jailbreak option also adds some flare to the wheels, which seems to be one of the first things admirers notice. Tire shops around the country rely on switching the production rims out for a more unique, visually appealing style for some significant profits because carmakers may offer the buyer a couple of choices if they are lucky, but nothing that genuinely matches their wants. Dodge has made that step obsolete by offering the buyer a selection of 7 different rims, any of which can appease even the most discerning fan. Those options are to have the rims painted low gloss granite or brass, low glow granite, satin carbon, low gloss black, or low gloss granite.

Another common visual upgrade that car owners like is to paint the brake calipers a color that pops out from underneath the unique rims they had put on. The idea behind it is nothing more than cosmetic, but it definitely can catch the attention of people in other cars or that are walking alongside the street. Dodge takes this modification necessity away by offering 6 different brake caliper color options when the car being purchased has been upgraded with the Jailbreak Option on any 2022 Dodge Charger or 2022 Dodge Challenger. Those six options include red, orange, yellow, blue, black, or grey.

5 5 Badge Options In The Jailbreak Package

The badging, or the ornaments as they are more commonly called, is not something that many buyers even think about. The reason for that is because, for the most part, they come in one color, regardless of what color has been picked for the exterior. The Dodge Charger Hellcat Jailbreak and the Dodge Hellcat Jailbreak Challenger take this one-color-fits-all mentality out of the picture and offers all the buyers special ordering the car with 5 different badge options. Those options are black chrome, brass monkey (copper), satin chrome, midnight metallic, or devil red.

One of the only Jailbreak options that differ between the 2022 Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak and the 2022 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak is the number of available console options. In the Challenger, the buyer can opt for one of 5 different console finishing colors and configurations, while the Charger only offers a choice of 4. No real reason is given for the one option that is available in one model and not the other, but more than likely, it is because the Challenger is designed for family use, while the Charger is created for all-out troublemaking

Leather seats would never have been included in a classic muscle car, but times have changed, and people want luxury while screaming through the streets in their Hellcat Dodge. Of course, the color of the interior is usually simply matched to the exterior colors chosen by the buyer to make it more color-coordinated. That is no longer how things are done if the buyer adds the Jailbreak options to the 2022 Charger or 2022 Challenger. If the color is available in leather, the buyer can choose it. To shake things up even more, the buyer can opt for a seatbelt that clashes or matches, depending on the statement the new owner wants to make.

Now that all the cool aspects of the Dodge muscle car have been chosen, it is time to decide if the other four choices suit the buyer. Those options include having the gas cap blacked out, or a rear spoiler can be added to the trunk. The original buyer can also opt for chrome or black dual exhaust tips that come out of the back of the car. The final option that can be chosen allows the owner to customize the color of the floor mat binding rings. None of these are big visualizations that can make or break the look of the muscle car, but it does make it even more unique by offering each buyer their own modifications.

For some buyers, all these options are simply too much to handle, which could actually lead to lost sales. However, Dodge has also been smart enough to factor that in to the Jailbreak Challenger or Jailbreak Charger by offering preset factory options that will still make the car unique and matched to the owner. Each factory set package is available when clicking the Jailbreak Package additions box. Those options are the Brass Funky, Old School, Red Dawn, The Classic, Old Glory, Yin and Yang, or the Yeller. Check them out at the local Dodge dealership or go online and visit the Dodge company website to get the details of the car that is most appealing.
