the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170, the craziest street-legal creation to come out of the SRT lab. When fueled with E85, the 6.2-liter V8 engine, complete with a supercharger, produces an impressive 1,025 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 945 pound-feet of torque or 1281nm at 4,200 rpm. Lowering the octane with E10 gasoline, the vehicle still delivers a staggering 900 hp and 810 lb-ft of torque.
But when using all of its 1,025 hp, the Demon 170 can achieve a speed of 60 miles per hour in just 1.66 seconds. It can also complete the quarter-mile in a NHRA-certified time of 8.91 seconds at a top speed of 151.17 mph. However, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has stated that such figures are likely to be achievable only on a prepped drag strip. That makes it the fastsest car to reach 60 mph money can buy. On a prepped surface.
But how, how did they go from 840 in the Demon to 1025 in the Demon 170? To achieve the astounding performance figures of the Demon 170, Dodge had to do more than just modify the existing Demon model. The driveline underwent a major overhaul, with only the camshaft carrying over from the previous engine. The new supercharger displacement increased to 3.0 liters from 2.7 liters in the previous model, while the throttle body grew to 105 millimeters from 92 mm. Then they raised the boost to 21.3 psi, as opposed to 15.3 psi in the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, allows for better performance.
Now The new Demon 170 boasts intelligent flex fuel sensor that can detect the ethanol content in gasoline. This technology adjusts the fueling and spark timing to optimize the powertrain's output. Additionally, there's an ethanol proportion display on the instrument panel that shows the current ethanol percentage, with the full 1,025 hp being available when the figure is above 65 percent.
How will all of that power make its way to the tarmac, well The Demon 170 retains its eight-speed automatic transmission, which now features an upgraded TransBrake 2.0. This innovative feature enables the driver to fully engage the throttle and subsequently activate a shift paddle for an optimized launch on the drag strip. Additionally, the torque output can be tuned in increments of one-tenth of a second, thereby allowing drivers to adjust the power delivery to achieve the quickest acceleration possible.
And the drag racing theme doesn’t stop their. As part of your Dodge Direct Connection accessories you can get parts like a harness bar, carbon-fiber rear seat delete panel, and even a parachute. On a road car. That’s pretty insane.
But all of this power, and cool feutures means nothing if it cant put the power to the road. So Dodge equipped it with a set of 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials at the rear and skinnier 245/55R18 tires at the front. However, these tires are not suitable for wet or cold weather conditions. To tackle this issue, Dodge is offering an optional wheel-and-tire package for such scenarios. Additionally, buyers can opt for a set of forged aluminum and carbon fiber wheels to save weight. The new wheels allow the Demon 170 to shed 20.12 pounds at the front and 11.98 pounds at the rear when compared to a Challenger Redeye Widebody.
Then for suspension, The Demon 170's suspension includes adaptive Bilstein shocks that raise the rear by 0.39 inches. The Drag Mode setting is also available to tweak the suspension setup. It firms up the front while softening the rear, improving weight transfer during a launch. Furthermore, the Demon 170's softer springs and sway bars offer better weight transfer when compared to a Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody, resulting in a more responsive and stable ride.
Everything with this Demon is gear 100% towards drag racing, it’s a drag car that’s street legal, and you can buy it from a dealer. But for how much? Well this thing comes with a price tag of $96,666, excluding the destination fee. The automaker plans to manufacture 3,300 units of the vehicle, with 3,000 units for the US and 300 for Canada. The production numbers, however, are dependent on the production capacity because the automaker will only produce them from July to December 31, 2023. Dodge will start taking orders on March 27, 2023, and will prioritize orders made by dealers at MSRP to discourage markups. Those interested in buying can check out the dealer allocations available at DodgeGarage.com.
A cool thing that Dodge did is that Original 2018 Challenger SRT Demon owners can also request a Demon 170 VIN number that matches their earlier model. Each buyer will receive a package that includes a Demon-themed decanter, whiskey cubes, rocks glasses, coasters, a Demon 170 supercharger badge cover, and an illustration on the inside top of the pack's cover.
