2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

A Dealer Still Has 16 Brand New Dodge Challenger Demons For Sale

The dealer claims you won’t find this many Demons in one place anywhere

Have you been hankering for Dodge Challenger Demon since you missed out on the initial run? Well, a local Southern California Dodge dealer may be able to help you out. Huntington Beach Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has not one, but 16 brand new 2018 Demons in their inventory.

The Demon was introduced for the 2018 model year with production starting late 2017. Only 3,330 of the 808 horsepower super muscle cars were ever produced. Production ceased mid-2018.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a single new Demon anymore. The ones that I’ve seen that are “new” are new in the sense that they have low miles. Usually a few hundred or less. I was told that the ones on their lot all have zero miles.

Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170

Dodge introduced the quickest, fastest and most powerful muscle car in the world, the 1,025-horsepower 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. The brand's seventh and final "Last Call" special-edition model was unveiled this evening at the Dodge Last Call Powered by Roadkill Nights Vegas performance festival at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

With its 1,025-horsepower (at 6,500 rpm), 945 lb.-ft. (at 4,200 rpm) production HEMI® engine, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 reaches 60 mph in a blazing 1.66 seconds and features the highest G-force acceleration of any production car at 2.004 gs. The Demon 170 can also reach 900 horsepower and 810 lb.-ft. of torque on E10 fuel.

A Dodge special-edition vehicle like none other, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the quickest vehicle ever produced in the brand's 100-plus-year history. The Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the first factory production car to run the quarter-mile under nine seconds with a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-certified 8.91-second ET at 151.17 mph. On the drag strip, the Challenger SRT Demon 170 receives an NHRA violation letter for running a sub-nine-second quarter-mile without a safety cage or parachute, following in the footsteps of the original Demon, which was also banned from NHRA quarter miles.

Black keys are also banned from the Challenger SRT Demon 170, as the fastest Dodge Challenger ever will be delivered only with red key fobs. The 2018 Challenger SRT Demon featured a black key fob to limit horsepower and a red key fob to unlock full output; the new Demon unleashes horsepower levels determined not by a key, but by sensing the percentage of ethanol fuel content.

The Final Dodge Challenger Demon 170 Makes 1,025 HP And Does the 1/4 Mile in 8.91 Seconds

The street-legal Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 runs on E85, does 0-60 mph in 1.66 seconds, and is the first 8-second production car in history.

One thousand and twenty-five horsepower on E85 from the factory. Zero to 60 in 1.66 seconds, and more than 2 g at launch. A quarter-mile time of 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph. Skinny tires up front and steamrollers in the back. An enormous 3.0-liter supercharger, the largest ever fitted to a production car. A $96,666 base price. These are just some of the numbers that make up the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 – the final Challenger after 15 years on the market. There really is no better way to say farewell to Dodge’s notorious coupe.

The Challenger Demon 170’s quarter-mile time is so fast, the car is banned by the NHRA because it doesn’t have a parachute or a roll cage, items required for any car that runs the quarter-mile in less than 9 seconds. Don’t worry, though. Dodge will sell you a chute for the Demon 170 through its Direct Connection in-house performance parts catalog.

 
Check Out the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 From Every Angle

Dodge just took the wraps off the 1,025-hp Demon 170. Here's your up-close look at the world's first factory production car to run the quarter-mile in the 8s.

 
This is the last ever Dodge Challenger (and it’s also the fastest ever)

And fittingly the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is a tour de force of numbers, with 1,011bhp and a quarter-mile sprint of 8.91s

This is it, then: the last ever Dodge Challenger and the company’s farewell to the V8 muscle car. But compose yourself for a few moments if you can, because you’re going to want to digest the stupendous performance with which the Challenger is bowing out.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 - the last of seven ‘Last Call’ editions to see out this and the Charger - generates a frightening 1,011bhp at 6,500rpm and 945lb ft at 4,200rpm on E85 ethanol blend fuel (count on 888bhp/810lb ft on regular E10), and claims 0-60mph in 1.66s.

That makes it the fastest muscle car in the world, says Dodge, as well as the highest producer of G-force ‘of any production car’ at 2.004gs. Crikey.

Meanwhile it’ll devour a quarter-mile sprint in 8.91 seconds at 151.17mph, and doing this on an NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) drag strip will trigger a violation letter for daring to go sub-nine without a parachute. For which there is the option of a mounting point, we hasten to add; check out the last-but-one image in the gallery above.

“To celebrate the end of the HEMI muscle-car era, we pulled off all the governors to reach a new level, a new benchmark of ‘factory-crazy’ production car performance,” said Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis. “In 2015, Dodge shocked the world with the 707-horsepower Hellcat. Then, in 2018, we did it with the 840-horsepower Demon, and now we are doing it again with the 1,025-horsepower Demon 170, the world’s first sustainable-energy, eight-second, factory-production, street-legal muscle car.”

Let’s dig a little deeper into how such exuberant velocity has been achieved. The 6.2-litre V8 gets a modified 3.0-litre supercharger with a larger, 105mm throttle body and 3.02in pulley for increased airflow.

 
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is 1025bhp farewell to V8

‘Last call’ version of the legendary American muscle car dispatches the 0-60mph sprint in world-record 1.66sec

Dodge is bidding a final farewell to its venerable 6.2-litre supercharged V8 with a climactic variant of the Challenger muscle car so rapid that it has been banned from drag racing in its factory configuration.

The new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 receives a series of upgrades for the Hemi engine, boosting its outputs to 1025bhp and 945lb ft when running on E85 fuel.

The switch to E85 – which comprises 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded petrol – is alone responsible for a significant proportion of the boost, with outputs dipping to 900bhp and 810lb ft when running on conventional E10.

The supercharger has also been reworked with a larger intake and a smaller 3.02in pulley, giving a 40% increase in boost pressure to 21.3psi (1.47bar). A ‘power chiller’ system also diverts the air-conditioning system to the supercharger, helping it to maintain optimal temperatures.

Such is the might of the Demon 170 that it can cover a quarter-mile drag strip in just 8.91sec, reaching 151.17mph. This makes it the first factory-produced muscle car capable of an 8.0sec quarter-mile, claims Dodge, earning it a ban from National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) drag races at full speed without a roll cage and a parachute.

The huge output also makes the Demon 170 the world’s fastest production car in the 0-60mph sprint, completing it in just 1.66sec. For reference, the previous title holder, the Aspark Owl, claims 1.7sec; the Rimac Nevera clocks 1.95sec; and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 2.4sec (to 62mph).

 
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Revealed With 1.66s 0 to 60 MPH

For those muscle car fans out there, Dodge has taken the covers off the straight-line beast they have called the Challenger SRT Demon 170.

As expected, it packs some jaw-dropping specs which include the 6.2-litre supercharged V8 punching out 1,025 hp and 1,281 Nm (945 lb-ft) of torque when running on E85 fuel.

If you find yourself on a prepped drag strip, you will be able to rocket to 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill in an organ-rearranging 1.66s. It can also complete the quarter-mile in an NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph (243 km/h).

Where did Dodge get the name for the monster? It primarily comes from E85 ethanol being 170 proof. The other allusion is to the Dodge Direct Connection Hellephant C170 crate engine, which this model shares a little DNA with.

Dodge plans to make 3,300 of them (of which 300 will be for Canada). However, the final number will depend on production capacity because the company will only make them from July to December 31, 2023.
