2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

Dodge rocked the high-performance car world in 2014 with the 707-horsepower Charger SRT Hellcat and Challenger SRT Hellcat, building supercar performance at affordable prices. They were the most powerful muscle cars ever - until now.

Today, Dodge is shaking the foundation of the entire performance car industry, launching New York International Auto Show week with its wickedly fast new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon - highly capable on the street, absolutely dominating at the drag strip.
Powered by a 840-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Demon V-8, the limited-production Challenger SRT Demon is the world’s most powerful factory-production V-8 - bar none. NHRA-certified 9.65 seconds @ 140 mph makes the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon the fastest ¼-mile car in the world.
Performance numbers:
0-30 mph: 1.0 second
0-60 mph: 2.3 seconds
Quarter-mile: 9.65 seconds at 140 mph
The Challenger SRT Demon also is the world’s first production car to lift the front wheels at launch and set the world record for longest wheelie from a standing start by a production car at 2.92 feet, certified by Guinness World Records. And hold onto your seat. The Challenger SRT Demon also registers the highest g-force (1.8 g) ever recorded at launch in a production car.
“With Demon, our goal was to build a car that would tattoo the Dodge logo into the subconscious of the general market, beyond even our loyal enthusiasts, said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Cars - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA North America. “To do so, we had to set records that have never been set before, do more than has ever been done before, go beyond even the legendary Hellcat. The result: an 840-horsepower, 9-second muscle car unlike anything that has ever come before it.”

[@lewisabercrombie9121]

The way Tim was describing the launch and everything felt like I was actually in the demon going that freaking fast, my adrenaline was going nuts...wow

[@Robert8455]

History is being made. Bravo to Dodge for having the balls to bring this to market.

[@wekodaraf]

This aged well since the 170 out

[@dcaseng]

I'm just shocked that Dodge keeps pumping out insane cars from the FACTORY. People will claim that 840 HP isn't that impressive, while completely ignoring that we are talking about a FACTORY PRODUCTION vehicle. This car is SO much more than just horsepower. It is quite incredible to see all of the details that went into this car, as it's not just a Challenger with more power.

[@johndessire399]

dcaseng Doesn't only make 840 with race gas? if so I can understand people concern.

[@chriss1914]

It will only make 808 hp on 91 octane. Much more reasonable...

[@dylondewitt397]

while it is very impressive for dodge to produce this car I'm very pleased with this production but he was wrong when he said most powerful v8 ever in a production car...the tt 427 in the venom is 1400hp

[@dylondewitt397]

Jesse J Lype the venom debuted and sold as a production car and was recorded in history as the fastest producfion car beating the veyron...why it may not have sold millions if cars it passed the production mark therefore making it a production car...while it's also not fair to compare these 2 cars the guy was incorrect in his statement

[@dylondewitt397]

dreadheadmarlee25 h8er

[@jfool3852]

god damn, thank you Dodge for making this.

[@08DodgeRamHemi]

Can't wait until there is a Hellcat vs Demon race on KZbin somewhere

[@joseperezz3106]

HemiRunner2011 ders no point of that...u one lame puppy

[@chadhaire1711]

PR bullshit. lets see what this car does on a wet road, and how it spins out in a corner.....

[@theoriginalmungaman]

Its for drag racing IDIOT!

[@chadhaire1711]

The original: You got it backwards pal--it is the rich teenage IDIOTS who will be taking these on the street...

[@jonathanschultz2472]

the hellcat would get destroyed it's more of a heavenkitten now

[@Miguel-tb7dd]

Customer: *so how much horsepower does this thing have?* Dodge: *yes*

[@ElimitechPest]

that's it, Dodge officially wins this go-around with the ACR and now this. They have officially Blown Away the competition literally

[@liquidjubb3672]

Francisco Islas there is no competition lol

[@cynicaltimber3455]

Batteries not included. No hybrid, no bullshit...just a pure punch in your gut. Love it.

[@thenotoriousbarista5722]

I love this car, the tyres are perfect for where I want to drive

[@concepts6581]

I really like how it builds up 8lbs of boost on a launch! This thing is going to be amazing on track days

[@32phoenixx]

Does the car come with the skinny tires for the front and the jack as shows in the video? Because I didn't see it lift the stock front tire off the ground....

[@panosfxable]

I saw it at the New York auto show today! What a beast!

[@Acordeonistain805]

They prolly going to make the devil challenger In 2020 1000hp

[@thehemiolds455]

the sweetest sound ever. I'll treat this car like my first kid.

[@Kurumifan15]

Wow. That was intense. That guy really knows how to create excitement.

[@bra1217]

WOW THIS CAR IS AMAZING. I would love to see one in person.

[@Dunstire]

That really is one hell of a car

[@carloslemus2284]

I felt the chill of the Demon when it Roar!

[@iguardwisconsinberry8830]

Holy fuck I'm surprised this car will be street legal. Try the cops catch someone in one of these baby's!

[@lvmykdz5724]

Not hard, they just have to wait for a 911 call of a fatal traffic collision........still a Dodge with a bad crash rating.

[@dannydaw59]

There has to be a cop available ahead and that's if the Demon stayed on the freeway.

[@tomislavkubasa31]

Because cop's are never ahead, right? If it stay on the freeway you say, what else can it do, TURN?? hahahha right... or left, it's the same it' can't do any of them :D Stupid curves! And somebody thought earth is curved, goddamn stupid people, don't know shit about physics!

[@dannydaw59]

If the troopers are at the donut shop they might not be ready to put out the spike strips in time.

[@anthonybradford5555]

Air chopper mite even get leaft!

[@guitarsword1]

Unreal. Tnx Dodge. Only at Mopar would it be possible to put the baddest machine in automotive history in the showroom. Mopar rules!

[@4scoresn7yrsago]

Are all tires gonna be the same size? I realized the fronts were smaller than the rear (because race car - more traction needed) when they ran it at the track than their show model.

[@12valveproductions65]

I've got four words HOLY SHIT THAT'S BADASS

[@13Paulzz___]

This car is insane I want it sooo much

[@ShaneEstabrooks]

way to go Dodge.. now look what you've done.. luv it.. Mopar or no car

[@noscx]

Shane Estabrooks they've started a fight, and I'm gonna watch.

[@johngoldstien6937]

Fiat did a great job with this car

[@v0lkmaster252]

Shane Estabrooks I'm sure you have no car

[@ShaneEstabrooks]

Serge Bykov I have two Dodge's and one bad ass Ram

[@v0lkmaster252]

Shane Estabrooks I have 2016 gt and 2015 that my love drives and I smoke all the dodge I see so

[@mattfletcher3062]

ok this thing is nuts!!

[@allendaugherty9089]

DODGE gave the competion a big spanking and Dodge continues to spank them.........8-31-23

[@v0lkmaster252]

does everyone has to drive with helmet now. and is it going to have this drag rims tiny small in front

[@alcatsone]

Respekt

[@byates59]

Way to go Dodge!

[@SINOJAY]

Can we see the video of Ralph’s challenger srt/10 again please? That thing is awesome!👍

[@Checkmate24mm]

I would like one in Granite charcoal gray please

[@vanavana4487]

Does dodge offer the extra tires for the demon???

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Before people start comparing this to the exorcist, remember this car comes off of the production line this way. Hennessy isn't a production line. People tend to confuse the two. I'm a GM guy but like a lot of things. While I'll never be able to buy one of these, I love the fact that it's being done. It makes for better youtube videos when I'm taking a dump.

[@dannydaw59]

The front tire at 2:44 was different than other places on the video. I assume that's not the stock tire/wheel at 2:44.

[@Speechsupply]

EDIT: Read comments below I noticed that too. I think, its a bit of "advertisement trickery". By reducing the front-wheel weight, they get a bigger wheelie thus more "wow-effect".

[@crazylarryjr]

there is a second pair of front wheels in the race crate, those are for skinny tires (if not included) to allow for the drag performance you'll see in the vid

[@armelind]

Was gonna say same thing but decided to see if someone else already did. Plus I got my comment answered too. Thanks.

[@ruslankozodoy4898]

That is one bad ass car. Congratulations dodge for building something worth driving

[@eyermolochis6707]

will it be available in other countries so it's faster than the GTR

[@cununcanin4948]

i want this badass

[@AlphaGT-R16]

perfect, I love it...

[@dutch971]

Finally, wheels and tires on a car that actually look cool.

[@SantinoGamereviews]

But does it even have front tires? 2:44?

[@TheJudgingEye]

Here's a thought: If you option back the full interior and 19 speaker stereo for the Demon, you now have a reliable 10 second car that isn't banned from any strip.

[@ChipMarine]

Nice job Dodge !

[@avetisberberyan9903]

I wonder whats the mpg rating

[@stefanobaggio1724]

Amazing car 😱😍

[@Steve_Farwalker]

Ok, ok.... ALL this sounds just well and good but MY question is: does it come with lighted vanity mirrors? Well, does it?

[@randyspencer3314]

Why does it look so much like the new Camero's? The side view and small side window..?

[@kevinwatson3874]

I am a Chevy Corvette & Camaro guy .... But this fucking beast is AWESOME & IMPRESSIVE ! Nuff said !

[@aemrico]

amazing!!

[@embuscadaverdade1148]

jogada de marckt. mais não deixa de esta exaltando o deus deles.

[@HectorRodriguez-zh1rf]

People comparing a modded / Tunned car saying it has the same hp. Yall missing the point. It comes 840Hp FACTORY

[@governmentcheese5608]

such a sweet car i dont think I'll ever even get close to one though

[@rodneyfrantz1996]

that car is sweet

[@jblze9489]

I fell in love

[@leandrofelten5673]

Muito bonito

[@davidestillore5942]

I suggest for Chevy or Ford to come up with a car to counter the Demon and name it "THE EXORCIST".

[@marcojordan1368]

The exorcist already beat this demon

[@DaTKify]

Lol they did it got smoked 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelsherk9731]

how much does it cost?

[@soldiersofhavoc7915]

Can't wait to get mines 🚗😈😈

[@alexkrmdas3430]

check how thin the front tyres are, so they can lift during take off..showoff

[@TheHuskywr250]

e stikazziiii!!!! ke mezzo da paura!!!!

[@Raven00714]

I want that car!

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

MSRP?

[@ElimitechPest]

after reading the comments it's clear that nobody really understands the gravity of the situation here. We are talking quarter mile in the 9s 145mph that's faster than any production car even a Bugatti Chiron. this is going to be the Untouchable car nobody is going to come close. you will be the King of the Road anywhere in the world

[@The68Fox]

For the small price of just one whole kidney!

[@shanehuber348]

And first born

[@SBdunks3]

+John Poop and a virgin blood sacrifice

[@Swof99]

kidneys get you around 40k, you'll need a at least 3 lol

[@shanehuber348]

what why you have to make a sacrificial offering to the demon of Dodge

[@The68Fox]

John Poop because it's a demon. Duh

[@P4P2050]

Thank you!

[@protocl]

This video compels me to purchase the Demon.

[@ParkerSummers]

0-60 in 2.3 seconds!!!Im mind blown.

[@w.m.aslam-author]

Hollywood needs to make an action movie - just for this car.

[@Officerblack21]

So is the hell cat gonna get cheaper??

[@michaelmarks5012]

I've surprisingly already gotten used to the flared wheel wells that I once thought were hideous.

[@filosfklprm8427]

Skeleton walks into a BAR & ask for a beer & mop

[@peterago1082]

man i want this

[@hashglass]

saving now

[@accursedomega9662]

Dominic would definitely want one of these! Holy shit is this thing a beast!

[@hammadkhalid4744]

What is the cost of this thing

[@sharpshooter7686]

GM and Ford better be on the phone with their performance divisions to answer Dodge.

[@sethy5617]

thx

[@gate7681]

i was hoping for a stand alone model dodge demon,plymouth duster not a tarted up challenger

[@gabriellecole7291]

whats the top speed though

[@canusakommando9692]

Finally someone gets it! This is everything a true muscle care should be and I'm a Chevy guy. GM better put a blown 572 in the new mid-engine Vette if it wants to run in this league. My brothers 2012 GT-500 convert is crazy, back in high school in 79-80 my buddies 23 T-bucket race Hemi dual Doms on a tunnel ram would have their hands full and still lose. Chrysler you did good!!

[@Random_guy803]

We are all currently living in the true muscle car age right now! 20 years from now the following vehicles will be looked at as classic muscle cars. Demon Hellcat Srt Zl1 camaro Ss camaro Gt500 mustang Gt350 Ford Gt40 Front engine corvettes

[@jmoney1810]

I will be buying this

[@jeffreylysen7647]

Chuck mate yes, it's called the Shelby 1000. they have had it since around 2012. plus look up what Hennessy did with a mustang a few years ago. 220 miles per hour in a mustang.

[@bankrollleo2368]

This guy could be a motivational speaker

[@theodoricatkins7296]

the he'll with demon . I call mines the Dodge dark shadow .all black ninja creeper .real fast .

[@jeremiahcouch1615]

If I had car I would sleep right next to it.very beautiful amazing car!

[@Miguel-tb7dd]

I also love how they put the idle sound from a roblox car on it

[@Pednoi5]

I wish I was 16 now. I want the dodge demon 2018 or a Hellcat in black or red

[@darkdeminsion]

now bring out the charger demon!

[@speedygonzales1659]

can't wait to see the dodge demon do the Texas mile run

[@deathdealerhype7819]

where are the honda boys? bet they are already like, "I walked one 2 weeks ago bro i just didnt record it." LOL

[@donkey7334]

I love this car my drem car

[@bobkin611]

[@bobkin611]

GOD DAMNIT HOW MUCH!!!!

[@wiibaron]

Gotta ask? CAN'T AFFORD IT!!!

[@davidweber6213]

they need to come out with a charger demon

[@yeldarbq5166]

smoking. a friend of mine had a Kawasaki 750 that pulled nines in the quarter mile.

[@hgzx405]

Cost

[@tworthington27]

I think the Challenger SRT Demon is the perfect heavy metal car.

[@jasonbourne3569]

HOLY FUCKING COW. WHEN IS THIS AVAILABLE?

[@briankc21]

yes impressed of the horse power and 1/4 time, but how is it on the track?? i bet the Gt350r with couple hundred less horses would beat it on a road course

[@strawberryhellcat4738]

What the hell? First NASCAR banned the winged cars back in the late sixties because they were too fast (mostly for the tire technology at the time), now the wussy NHRA bans the latest competition-crusher from Mopar. What does the IHRA have to say about the Demon? Imagine the insanity of taking this thing down an EIGHTH mile strip!!

[@rawbeatzz091]

It's banned because it doesn't have a roll cage...

[@jrvbamafan1]

it runs 6.1s at 112 in the 1/8....my hometown track is an 1/8....see cars with a lot less money in them run that every time I go. it's impressive only because it's 3 year warranty for street or strip, so you can beat the shit out of it and not have to care if something breaks

[@MF-Rell]

jrvbamafan1 exactly and wde

[@jrvbamafan1]

King Jerel roll tide....lol

[@dajudge1969]

Dodge 10.99 was roll cage?
