The cat is out of the bag on instagram. Officially. Pun intended.

No Redeye though ?? and top speed dropped on the Hellcat Widebody compared to the standard Hellcat.

There may be other announcements. The "sources" mentioned three, but only two were unveiled today. I suspect the top speed came down due to increased drag from the body panel modifications. Can't have that both ways, unfortunately (not that anybody gets close to 200 mph in their Charger - even on the Grattan main straight at roughly 3/4 of a mile long, you're not likely to tease 200 mph).

Didn’t the Challenger Hellcat Widebody keep the same top speed as the standard one?

Edit:
Checked the PR, the Challenger Hellcat dropped also by 4mph while both models of the Redeye have the same top speed

It's coming...

I reckon they would do that after Corvette C8 reveal to mess with them

Quite possibly. Also at the unveiling Tim Kuniskis said these cars were step 1 in bringing the Charger trims in-line with the Challengers, I'm sure step 2 is the Redeye.

 

[Mopar392]

Do they have staggered production dates like they used to?

Kuniskis said its the "first step" in making the Charger fan base happy... Redeye is coming...
