Dodge Charger Performance Overview
Across 58 independently verified tests spanning 1968 to 2026, the Dodge Charger traces a performance arc from big-block muscle coupe to modern four-door sedan and now battery-electric liftback. Early B-body cars established the template with 426 Hemi and 440 Magnum V8s rated from 375 to 425 hp; the 1968 R/T Hemi Coupe reached 4.8 seconds to 60 mph. The 1971 B-body II SE Coupe slowed to 6.5 seconds as the first era wound down.
When the name returned on the L-body platform in the 1980s, output fell to 146-175 hp and turbocharged four-cylinder performance ranged from the 1985 Shelby 3-door Hatchback at 7.9 seconds to the 1987 Shelby GLHS 3-door Hatchback at 6.7. The LX revival in 2006 restored rear-drive V8 performance, with the 2008 SRT8 Sedan matching 4.8 seconds, before the LD generation broadened the range from Pentastar V6 and 392 HEMI models to supercharged Hellcat variants. That era produced a 4.2-second 2012 SRT8 Super Bee Sedan and the 2015 SRT Hellcat Sedan at 3.4 seconds and 11.4 seconds at 128 mph.
Today, the LB-generation Charger adds electric power to the model's gasoline history. The 2024 Daytona Scat Pack Stage 2 Coupe Liftback now sets the mark at 3.2 seconds to 60, making the current car the quickest Charger yet.

How we verify Dodge Charger performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Dodge Charger trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
