Posted on August 10, 2017
Whether
you're just a Dodge fan or you're looking to get your hands on the steering
wheel of the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, we have the latest
information on the fiercely fast and beastly car that's had everyone talking
since its announcement.
Built for Acceleration
With a
supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine and 840 horsepower performance, everything
about the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is focused on accelerating to the
finish line and dominating competitors with revolutionary
specifications.
The Demon
boasts 770 lb-ft of torque and 1.8 g's of acceleration G-Force. Heat management
is under control with the Demon's Duel Air-Catcher headlamps along with its 45
square-inch Air-Grabber hood scoop for efficiently cooling the powerful engine.
It's All About the Drag
This
production car is the first ever to feature drag radial tires. These particular
tires can achieve up to 40 percent more launch force compared with the Dodge
Challenger Hellcat. In addition to the Demon's traction-focused tires, the car
also has a TransBrake system and a drag mode launch assist feature for optimal
control by the driver.
This means
you can put it straight into racing mode in just a few simple steps while
enjoying instant reaction times. If you're driving in less-than-ideal
conditions, the Demon has wheel speed sensors that help the vehicle regain
traction, avoiding dangerous tire stick and slip.
Trim and Lightweight
To optimize
the Demon for speed, it's been reduced in weight by 200 pounds through several
innovative features, including lightweight breaks, sway bars, seating, and even
a minimized audio system. You can also remove the passenger seats to maximize
your speed potential. While it's an incredibly lightweight car, it's also
designed for safety and control with its wide body stance construction.
Record-Breaking and
Awe-Inspiring
The 2018
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon holds several unbelievable titles, including the
fastest acceleration of any production car, first wheelie by a production car,
and world's fastest ¼ mile production car.
If being
able to do a wheelie wasn't enough, the Demon has the fastest 0-60 time of any
production car at 2.3 seconds as well as the fastest 0-100 time at 5.1 seconds.
To top it all off, the Demon is a street-legal vehicle that holds a menacing
appearance backed by the performance to go up against purpose-built drag cars.
