The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is already an incredibly special and high-performance vehicle, but Dodge went the extra mile to offer select buyers an exclusive Jailbreak option that included one-of-one paint colors. This unique paint option added an extra layer of customization and collectability to the already record-breaking Demon 170.
According to a post on the SRT Hellcat Forum, Dodge handpicked between 20 and 25 customers to offer the Demon 170 Jailbreak option. These customers were given the opportunity to choose from a selection of 40 colors, which included a mix of retro and modern hues. Dodge even sent samples of all 40 color options to each participant, and the first person to reply with their color selection got their desired paint option. This meant that only one car would be painted in each color, making these special edition Dodge Challengers truly one-of-a-kind.
Dodge spokesperson Darren Jacobs later confirmed the offer of the Jailbreak option based on brand loyalty. “Select individuals were offered this exclusive paint option based on their new Dodge Charger and Challenger purchase history and Dodge brand affiliation,” Jacobs stated. This special opportunity was only available to a limited number of loyal Dodge customers who have played a significant role in the latest era of Dodge muscle. However, Jacobs also mentioned that the Jailbreak option is no longer being offered, making it even more exclusive and desirable.
The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the final “Last Call” special edition, marking the end of the current internal-combustion era for the Challenger coupe and its Dodge Charger sedan sibling. The Demon 170 is equipped with a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine that produces an astonishing 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque on E85 fuel. It boasts an incredible 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds on a prepped surface without rollout and can complete a quarter-mile run in just 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph, as verified by NHRA.

Production of the Demon 170 will be limited, and the exact number produced will depend on how many cars can be built before Challenger production officially comes to an end on December 31. The base price for the Demon 170 is $96,666, but with additional charges such as a $1,595 destination fee and a $2,100 gas guzzler tax, the effective base price reaches $100,361. The exclusivity of the Demon 170 is further exemplified by the fact that one buyer even paid a staggering $700,000 for the final build slot at auction.
Although Dodge has not disclosed the price of the Jailbreak paint option, rumors suggest that it could cost around $30,000. This additional cost only makes the one-of-one paint jobs even more desirable and sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
In conclusion, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is an exceptional and powerful vehicle on its own, but the exclusive Jailbreak option elevates it to an entirely new level of customization and exclusivity. By offering select buyers the opportunity to choose from a range of unique and one-of-a-kind paint colors, Dodge has created an even more special and collectible version of the already impressive Demon 170. With limited production numbers and the end of the Challenger era approaching, these Jailbreak edition Challengers are sure to become highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
