2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170

Following an extended development delay and an extensive Last Call teaser campaign, the awe-inspiring Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 has finally made its long-awaited debut. Boasting some jaw-dropping specifications, this vehicle is a true engineering marvel that is sure to captivate automobile enthusiasts everywhere. When running on E85 fuel, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine generates an astonishing 1,025 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 945 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm. Even on E10 gasoline, the output is still an impressive 900 hp and 810 lb-ft. The Demon 170 is capable of reaching 60 miles per hour in just 1.66 seconds when operating at its full capacity. It also completes the quarter-mile in an NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph. According to Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis, it may be necessary to be on a prepped drag strip to achieve these figures.

The Demon 170 is named after two things. First and foremost, it is named after the fact that E85 ethanol is 170 proof. Secondly, it is named after the Dodge Direct Connection Hellephant C170 crate engine, which this model shares some genetic makeup with.
