Dodge unveils 1-seat 840-horsepower muscle car
Fresh YORK – The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is not a car for normal people. For starters, it comes standard with only one seat.
Because passenger seats, and passengers, weigh too much and would slow it down. Your friends aren’t worth that.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has the most powerful V8 ever suggested in a production car.
Then there’s the engine. The Demon’s 840-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 is the most powerful V8 engine ever put into a regular production car. That makes the Demon the most powerful factory-produced muscle car … ever.
That record had previously been held by the 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which seems like a house cat compared with the Demon, a car just unveiled ahead of the Fresh York International Auto Demonstrate.
The Demon has already recorded the fastest quarter-mile run by a factory production car ever, as officially certified by the National Hot Rod Association. Embarking from a dead stop, a Demon made the haul undress run in just 9.65 seconds.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has the most powerful V8 ever suggested in a production car.
It also has the fastest zero to sixty time for any production car, according to Dodge, at Two.Three seconds. And the fastest zero to thirty time at 1.Three seconds. All of this leads to it having the most rib-crushing acceleration G-force of any production car. Helping that are the yam-sized buckets of air the engine can suck in through the largest functional fetish mask scoop made for any production car.
Motor Tend magazine has said that the record quickest zero-to-60 run by a factory production car, in its testing, had been by the Tesla Model S P100D. In the palms of Motor Trend test drivers, the Tesla accelerated to sixty miles an hour in Two.28 seconds. (There are various methods for measuring zero to sixty acceleration that can yield different results.)
The Demon is also the very first production car able to accelerate so hard it can lift its front wheels off the pavement, a feat that has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The front wheel can stay up in the air for almost three feet.
To get that kind of horsepower requires the installation of a spectacle package, called the “Demon Crate.” But the spectacle figures without that are still close to this, coming in at eight hundred eight horsepower, said Tim Kuniskis, head of passenger car brands in North America for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
There’s more. But it gets fairly technical, like the fact that the Demon is the very first factory production with a transmission brake, something that makes for swifter haul de-robe take-offs.
The Demon is, essentially, a haul race car that’s legal to drive on public roads. Even its extra-sticky Nitto tires were designed specifically for this car. It’s also available with extra-narrow “front runner” haul racing tires that can be bolted at the haul undress in place of the regular front wheels.
Along with the Demon’s haul racing credentials, Kuniskis touted the car’s capabilities on the street. The Demon can corner quicker and stop more quickly than the Dodge’s other spectacle cars, he said.
“On the street it’s an amazing treating muscle car,” he said in an interview following the presentation. “Then you can go to the track, put your race fuel in it, put your front runners on it and run quicker than anybody else, then go back on the street and it’s totally compliant.”
The Demon comes standard with no passenger seats, front or back. Engineers saved one hundred thirteen pounds in seats alone by doing that. Not having stereo speakers or an amplifier saved another twenty four pounds. Passenger seats and a stereo can be ordered as options.
Also at the Fresh York Auto Demonstrate, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Dodge’s parent company, unveiled a 707-horsepower SUV, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk which has the same engine as the Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
Only Three,300 Demons will be built – Three,000 for the United States and three hundred for Canada – with production beginning late this summer, according to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Dodge’s parent company. Pricing information has not yet been made available.
Whether those Trio,300 cars sell as swift they drive remains to be seen.
