All-New 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Delivers A Whopping 1,025HP

Feast your eyes on the 1,025-horsepower 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. This bad boy is the brand’s seventh and final “Last Call” special-edition model before it’s lights out for this iconic gas-powered muscle car, unveiled last night in a dramatic helicopter-drop debut at the Dodge Last Call Powered by Roadkill Nights Vegas performance festival at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is being billed as the quickest, fastest and most powerful muscle car in the world, with some truly insane stats to back up that claim. With 1,025 HP and 945 lb-ft of torque (on E85 fuel) the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 reaches 60 mph in a blazing 1.66 seconds on its way to a quarter-mile time of 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph, and it features the highest G-force acceleration of any production car at 2.004 gs.

Even on premium fuel, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 puts out 900 horsepower and 810 lb-ft of torque, so you don’t have to go hunting for the corn in order to extract the car’s insane performance.

“To celebrate the end of the HEMI muscle-car era, we pulled off all the governors to reach a new level, a new benchmark of ‘factory-crazy’ production car performance,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “In 2015, Dodge shocked the world with the 707-horsepower Hellcat. Then, in 2018, we did it with the 840-horsepower Demon, and now we are doing it again with the 1,025-horsepower Demon 170, the world’s first sustainable-energy, eight-second, factory-production, street-legal muscle car.”

Extensive component upgrades resulted in delivery of a nearly brand-new engine, as well as additional features that assist in harnessing the 1,025 horsepower of the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, including:

• Improved Supercharger: Modified 3.0-liter supercharger upgraded with a larger snout with 105mm throttle body, and 3.02-inch pulley increases boost pressure 40% over the Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody
• Fueling Horsepower: Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 achieves full horsepower output through high ethanol fuel blends: horsepower levels are determined by sensing the percentage of ethanol fuel content
• Driveline Upgrades: All-new driveline with 240mm ring gear, 53% stronger differential housing using aerospace-grade metals, rear prop shaft 30% stronger and stronger half shafts
• Massive Drag Radials: 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials — never offered before on a production car — and Mickey Thompson 245/55R18 ET Street front tires deliver extra force on the strip or street
• TransBrake 2.0: Patent-pending TransBrake 2.0 provides torque-shaping capability and easier driver interaction to dial-in preset torque limits
• Unique Drag Mode Suspension: Uniquely tuned valves in adaptive-damping shocks provide maximum weight transfer and custom race settings for drag calibrations
• Staggered Widebody Design: First-ever factory production car built with staggered drag radial tires and fender flares
