Some cars are just destined to be immediate collectibles and this 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is definitely one of them! When the car was introduced at the 2017 New York Auto Show, it was an instant sensation – due to the fact it ravished all the senses of anyone who came in contact with it. Designed to be the fastest and most powerful production car built in America, the auto enthusiast crowd couldn’t get enough, and the initial allocation of 3,000 units sold out almost immediately.
Dodge used some familiar tactics in creating its 2018 SRT Demon and also pulled a few new tricks out of the crate to make this street/strip terror live up to its name. There is a 6.2-liter, supercharged HEMI V-8 engine and an air-grabber hood to allow that octet of evil spirits to breathe deeply. But more than simply a Hellcat, the 2018 SRT Demon went down into the depths of Sheol with its own set of luggage.
As if 808 horsepower wasn’t enough, the SRT Demon also could be ordered with the Demon Crate, which included another PCM to bump performance up to 840 horsepower.
The “base model” SRT Demon roars off the assembly line with a devilish 808 horsepower and 707 lb.-ft of torque. If the lucky first owner ordered the “Demon Crate” along with the car, it included another powertrain control module, which possessed the car to 840 horsepower. They also got a pair of front skinny tires and a hydraulic jack to make the switch.
Dodge’s goal was to create a package so savage it would live up to its name. Looking at the specs for the 2018 SRT Demon, it’s hard to argue that they didn’t achieve their goal. Flogging to 60 miles per hour takes just 2.3 seconds and in less than 10 seconds, you’ll be hitting 140 clicks on the speedo. The top speed for this devilish, drag-strip terror is over 200 miles per hour!
This car has just over 8,000 miles on the odometer, and reportedly, none of them were down a drag strip. If you are the lucky winner, you can decide whether they continue to accrue in full units, or a quarter-mile at a time.
Truth be told, when you hit those kinds of performance numbers, this other-worldly ride can become quite violent. That is why Dodge infused its SRT Demon with a variety of performance enhancers, such as a torque reserve system for better launches, a transbrake, and a line lock for getting those rear hides to just the right temperature. There is also a Drag Mode, which puts the SRT Demon’s mindset into its element for quick bursts of fury down the quarter-mile.
