The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 represents the absolute
pinnacle of Dodge's modern American muscle era. As part of the
brand's historic "Last Call" series marking the end of HEMI-powered
Challenger production, the Demon 170 stands as the final and most
extreme factory-built performance car ever offered by Dodge.
Building upon the already ferocious Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
Widebody platform, Dodge engineers pushed the limits of
street-legal performance, creating a factory drag racing monster
capable of record-setting acceleration while remaining fully road
legal.
At the heart of the Demon 170 lies a specially fortified
supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI High-Output V8, engineered to take
advantage of E85 ethanol fuel. When fueled with E85, the Demon 170
produces an astonishing 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque,
making it the most powerful production muscle car ever built. Power
is delivered through the robust TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic
transmission, optimized with a transbrake, line lock, and advanced
launch control technology designed to deliver explosive drag strip
performance. Dodge claimed a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds and
a quarter-mile capability of 8.91 seconds at 151 mph, numbers so
quick the NHRA requires a parachute and cage for sanctioned
competition.
Beyond the raw power, the Demon 170 incorporates numerous
drag-focused upgrades including strengthened driveline components,
revised suspension geometry, massive Mickey Thompson drag radials,
and a unique flex-fuel system that automatically adjusts engine
calibration depending on the ethanol content. Every example
features Demon-specific badging, lightweight components, and
distinctive graphics that identify it as the ultimate send-off to
the Challenger lineage.
The exceptional example offered here is finished in the vibrant Go
Mango exterior, paired with the Black Demon 170 cloth interior, a
combination that highlights the car's purposeful, track-ready
character. It began life as a Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
Widebody before receiving the full complement of Demon 170 factory
equipment, including the Full Cloth Interior Package with Demon 170
embroidered seat upholstery, Demonic Red seatbelts, Trunk Dress
Kit, TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, and the striking
170 Satin Black hood, roof, and decklid graphics package.
This Challenger was sold new by Roanoke Motor Company of Roanoke,
Illinois to its only owner and subsequently transported to Texas,
where it has been carefully stored and preserved since delivery.
Today it shows a mere 95 original miles, essentially remaining in
showroom-fresh condition.
Production of the Demon 170 was strictly limited to 3,000 units for
the U.S. market, making it one of the rarest modern Mopar
performance machines. Of those, only 257 examples were finished in
the special-order Go Mango paint, and even fewer were specified
with the soft Demon 170 embroidered cloth seat upholstery, further
enhancing this car's exclusivity.
Accompanying the vehicle are both original key fobs, the factory
window sticker, and a clean Carfax report, documenting its
single-owner history and careful preservation.
With its record-breaking performance, limited production, and
status as the final and most powerful HEMI Challenger ever built,
the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 stands as a landmark in
American muscle car history-an uncompromising farewell to Dodge's
supercharged V8 era and a centerpiece for any serious modern
performance collection.
