The Demon has been unleashed.

For New York Auto Show week, Dodge has officially introduced its much talked-about 2018 Challenger SRT Demon—the most powerful muscle car ever! Its upgraded 6.2L Demon V8 engine features a larger 2.7L supercharger with boost pressure increased to 14.5 psi, higher 6,500 rpm limit, and innovative SRT Power Chiller which redirects air conditioning refrigerant to chill the charger air cooler.

The Demon also boasts a Drag Mode suspension to make optimum use of its 840 horsepower (yes, 840 horses on 100+ race gas!). The Drag Mode setup produces better weight transfer and traction, and Drag Mode Launch Assist adjusts engine torque (770 ft.-lbs.) to instantly eliminate wheel hop on launch. Factory-installed Nitto street-legal drag radials ensure better grip compared to the Hellcat tires.

The Demon Crate is available to SRT Demon buyers and contains all of the components needed to unleash the Demon on the track. For those looking for a tamer ride for the street, the Demon also comes with an Auto (Street) Mode, which when selected, scales back the power and get a more comfortable ride.

Production of the limited-edition single model year (3,000 United States/300 Canada) Challenger SRT Demon begins later this summer.
