Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170

 

The Demon 170 is one of the ultimate final editions of the Dodge Challenger. Produced for only the 2023 model year as one of the Challenger's Last Call models, it is powered by the Hellcat's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 900 horsepower and 810 pound-feet of torque on conventional gas, and up to a whopping 1,025 horsepower and 925 pound-feet of torque on E85 ethanol. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite automatic gearbox with a manual mode. The Challenger Demon 170 can launch from zero to 60 mph in under two seconds and achieve a sub nine-second quarter mile time according to Dodge. The most noticeable exterior styling cues that distinguish the Demon 170 from other versions of the Challenger consist of specific badging throughout the vehicle, flared rear fenders, larger and wider drag radial tires, a unique satin black rear spoiler, and a large satin black air intake on the hood. The 170 in its name is for the alcohol proof of the E85 ethanol that this vehicle runs on. Like the Challenger SRT Demon and Super Stock, the Demon 170 comes standard with a single seat, while a front passenger seat and rear seats are optional. 

Pricing for the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 started at just under $97,000 when new. The specific example pictured in this post is currently for sale at my local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealer for a mere $236,536. This more has to do with options and dealer markup, but I think it is certainly overpriced for a modern Dodge Challenger. In fact, I think the final edition highest-performing Dodge Challengers are best when offered closer to $100k than what this one is going for. Besides my gripes against how much dealers tend to charge for Last Call Dodge Challengers, I happened to see this one on display next door and on the same lot as the obscure supercar display inside the Infiniti showroom that was featured in the previous post. While it is not as cool to me as those three supercars on display inside the Infiniti showroom next door, this particular Challenger is one of the most insane and exclusive muscle cars ever created, and I am glad I was able to see, photograph, and feature the unbelievable Demon 170 here as well.
