Dodge has unveiled the final iteration of its V8-powered muscle car, the Challenger in the form of the SRT Demon 170.



The new 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 comes with mind-boggling specs, from a completely reworked 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine. It draws inspiration from the original Demon and shares its DNA with the "Hellephant C170" crate engine. The car gets a 3.0-litre supercharger, with 40% more boost pressure when compared to the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody.



The updated engine is compliant with both E85 and E10 fuel. When running on E85 fuel, the engine produces a peak power output of 1,025 BHP @ 6,500 rpm and 1,281 Nm @ 4,200 rpm. This allows the SRT Demon 170 to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-98 km/h) in just 1.66 seconds and complete a quarter-mile in NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph (243.2 km/h). The power reduces slightly when running on E10 fuel to 900 BHP and 1098 Nm.



These numbers make the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, the fastest accelerating and quickest production car in the world, beating the likes of the Bugatti Chiron and Rimac Nevara.

Dodge has made plenty of structural, exterior and interior changes to the Demon 170 to be able to handle the power output from the engine. 3,300 units of the muscle car have been planned for production, 300 of which will go on sale in Canada while the remaining will be offered in the USA. Dodge will start production of the Demon 170 in July 2023, and the muscle car will be offered with a price tag of just a little over $96,000.

Those numbers (though claimed), are just mind-blowing. Or they are "pretty good" if you are a Tesla Plaid .

This car feels like IC engines saying "Rage, rage against the dying of the light".

Just one word WOWWWW

A 1000 BHP beast at less than 100000 dollars, this is a steal in comparison to The likes of Bugati and other super cars. I must say dodge has gone a mile further than any other manufacturer, in proving the capability of a gasoline engine.

Now just one prayer to the heads at Dodge, PLEASE DON’T CLOSE DOWN PRODUCTION OF V8s . It is one of my dearest dreams to drive a dodge hella V8, hope I can fulfil it.

Cheers

No one gives you top BHP per dollar rate like Dodge! To top it off, the Dodge twins, Challenger and Charger, are very handsome looking as well.

I’ve been in love with this beauty for quite some time now. The whine of the supercharger is so intoxicating and the shape of this beauty is unforgettable.

The Dodge Challenger is not the most aerodynamic or drag efficient car yet these figures are just insane. This shows what a straight forward approach of brute force can achieve.
Though the effects are in typical American approach i.e. straight line speeds but still it shows what RAW Power can do to even a normal looking car.

Whoever said you can't love two people at the same time, never saw a dodge challenger.
