Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 as part of the industry's
retro-inspired muscle-car renaissance. Drawing largely from the
1970 Challenger R/T, the new Challenger had a wide, menacing stance
and was available in a variety of colors and with a selection of
powerful engines, highlighted by the 425 hp SRT8. The Challenger
became an instant hit for MOPAR fans who had been waiting years for
such a release.
The Challenger received a face-lift in 2015, with the
high-performance SRT8 replaced by the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. The
Hellcat put out an astonishing 707 hp, capable of rocketing to 60
mph in only 3.6 seconds and hitting a top speed of 199 mph.
However, the Hellcat was just the beginning of Dodge's foray in the
contemporary horsepower wars.
In April 2017, at the New York Auto Show, Dodge debuted the
Challenger SRT Demon. Essentially a street-legal drag car, the
Demon was powered by 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 which puts out
an incredible 840 horsepower and 717 foot-pounds of torque. The
engine is backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission that can
be shifted via steering-mounted paddles. The Demon is capable of
screaming past 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds and can destroy the
quarter mile in 9.14 seconds at 152 mph.
This 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a single-owner example
having covered just 933 miles from new. The interior features the
optional passenger seat, rear seat, infotainment system, and
Harman/Kardon sound system. The Demon even retains its yellow
front-splitter shipping protector, which has become a popular item
to preserve and offers a stylish bit of flair to the otherwise
menacing Destroyer Grey color. The car is accompanied by the
coveted serialized Demon Crate, a staggering $1 option, which
includes a floor jack, cordless impact gun, narrow front drag
wheels, torque wrench, tire pressure gauge, fender cover, and tool
bag. Additionally, an original window sticker and owner's manual
are included with this demonic hell-raiser.To view this car and
