The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the most powerful muscle car ever with 808 horsepower, starts at a U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $84,995 (including $1,700 gas guzzler tax, excluding $1,095 destination). Challenger SRT Demon owners who want to unleash its full potential at the drag strip – and its full 840 horsepower and 770 lb.-ft. of torque – can do so for $1 (MSRP).

"Eighty-five thousand dollars is not just a number in a business case to Dodge; we know it's a lot of money and a significant up-charge over a Challenger Hellcat," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA North America. "We worked very hard to build as much value into the Challenger SRT Demon as possible – features, performance and exclusivity that simply can't be duplicated with a goal of maintaining, and possibly even growing, as much future value as possible."

The limited-production Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the first-ever production car to do a front-wheel lift, as certified by Guinness World Records, and it's the world's fastest quarter-mile production car with an elapsed time (ET) of 9.65 seconds at 140 miles per hour (mph), as certified by National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). It also registers the highest g-force (1.8 g) ever recorded at launch in a production car.

While the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon remains a livable street car, every component was scrutinized and optimized for weight, capability and durability on the strip. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon includes key standard features unique to Dodge's ultimate performance halo, including:

  • Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Demon V-8 with 808 horsepower and 717 lb.-ft. of torque

  • Brembo lightweight high-performance brake system with two-piece rotors
  • 3.09 rear axle ratio for improved off-the-line acceleration
  • After-Run Cooler, a factory-production car first, helps the Challenger SRT Demon get ready for the next run as quickly as possible by running the cooling fan and the low-temperature circuit coolant pump after engine shutdown
  • First-ever factory-production car with innovative SRT Power Chiller™ liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system
  • Air-Grabber™ induction system includes the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car
  • Torque Reserve delivers increased levels of power and torque at launch
  • A flat-bottom SRT Performance steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara with paddle shifters
  • Demon head logo fender badges
  • Two-speaker audio system
  • SRT Demon-tuned three-mode Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS)

  • Remote start
  • Manual tilt/telescoping column
  • Serialized dash plaque
  • Dark Brushed II interior accents
