Shortly after the ordering window opened for the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, rumors about a secret Jailbreak option for the 1,025-horsepower muscle car began floating around. Details, none confirmed by Dodge, suggested that a small number of “select individuals” were invited to pick an exterior color from a list of options not in the standard 2023 color palate. Some claimed that 20 people were invited, while others claimed that 50 or more would be given this opportunity. Everyone agreed that the price of this custom paint option was a lofty $30,000.

Those who were willing to pay the extra $30,000 were invited to select and rank their top three favorite color options. Since there will only be one car painted each of those 40 colors, the colors were allotted to buyers on a first come-first serve basis… The color cards shown here were provided by a source who did not want to be named.
