The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 marks the end of an era. Electrification forces brands to focus their efforts on this technology, relegating others to ostracism. In fact, it is a matter of little that in the Stellantis universe all its makes and models are one hundred percent electric. So, to celebrate "life" and the good things it has, those responsible for one of the most iconic muscle cars in the world have decided to create this version.
As you know, the names SRT and Demon are the sporting culmination within the Dodge firm. And if separately they are unique, in combination they are explosive and the proof is in this Challenger. In fact, it has been the head of the brand, Tim Kuniskis, who has confirmed that the era of high performance HEMI engines is over. So if you want to know what's new in the Challenger SRT Demon 170, take note...
The production of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 will be 3.000 thousand units for the US and 300 for Canada…
As you can see, the physiognomy of the new Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 remains faithful to that of its brothers. And not only that, unlike its predecessors, it does without that "fat" and muscular front end in order to reduce its weight and improve its acceleration. That is not missing a new logo Demon with yellow eyes, some specific alloy wheels or 14 exclusive exterior colors that can optionally be combined with Satin Black.
Inside doors there are also news to limit its final weight. Whoever wants can order their unit only with the driver's seat in fabric. What's more, you can still go one step further by asking for a trunk without upholstery, acoustic insulation and a sound system with two speakers. On the other hand, if you give priority to luxury, you can have all the seats upholstered in Alcantara and leather or audio with 18 speakers...
All in all, the most exclusive thing about the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is under its skin. Its about block 6.2 liter V8 HEMI that gives it life and that reaches 1.025 hp and 1.281 Nm of torque. This figure is reached with E85 fuel but if E10 is used it remains at 900 hp and 1.098 Nm. To go so far, the brand's engineers have changed the camshaft or the displacement of the supercharger with 3 liters.
This power continues to be managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition there is a new TransBrake 2.0 that allows the driver to "improve the starts". just know that it goes from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 1,66 seconds and that you can improve with Direct Connection parts. And if you have come this far and you dream of having one, let me tell you that it is not scheduled to reach Europe...
