April 11, 2017, Auburn Hills, Mich. - #dodge rocked the high-performance car world in 2014 with the 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat and #challengersrt Hellcat, building supercar performance at affordable prices. They were the most powerful muscle cars ever – until now.
 
Today, #dodge is shaking the foundation of the entire performance car industry, launching New York International #auto Show week with its wickedly fast new 2018 #dodge #challengersrtdemon – highly capable on the street, absolutely dominating at the drag strip.
 
Powered by a 840-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Demon V-8, the limited-production #challengersrtdemon is the world’s most powerful factory-production V-8 – bar none.  NHRA-certified 9.65 seconds @ 140 mph makes the #dodge #challengersrtdemon the fastest ¼-mile car in the world.
 
Performance numbers:

  • 0-30 mph: 1.0 second 
  • 0-60 mph: 2.3 seconds
  • Quarter-mile: 9.65 seconds at 140 mph

 
The #challengersrtdemon also is the world’s first production car to lift the front wheels at launch and set the world record for longest wheelie from a standing start by a production car at 2.92 feet, certified by Guinness World Records. And hold onto your seat. The #challengersrtdemon also registers the highest g-force (1.8 g) ever recorded at launch in a production car.
 
“With Demon, our goal was to build a car that would tattoo the #dodge logo into the subconscious of the general market, beyond even our loyal enthusiasts, said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars – #dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA North America. “To do so, we had to set records that have never been set before, do more than has ever been done before, go beyond even the legendary Hellcat. The result: an 840-horsepower, 9-second muscle car unlike anything that has ever come before it.”
