Dodge is introducing the quickest, fastest and most powerful muscle car in the world, the 1,025 horsepower 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT<\/a>\u00ae<\/a><\/sup> Demon 170<\/a>. The brand\u2019s seventh and final \u201cLast Call\u201d special-edition model was unveiled this evening at the Dodge Last Call Powered by Roadkill Nights Vegas performance festival at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its 1,025 horsepower (at 6,500 rpm), 945 lb.-ft. (at 4,200 rpm) production HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> engine, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 reaches 60 miles per hour (mph) in a blazing 1.66 seconds and features the highest g-force acceleration of any production car at 2.004 gs. The Demon 170 can also reach 900 horsepower and 810 lb.-ft. of torque on E10 fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dodge special-edition vehicle like none other, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the quickest vehicle ever produced in the brand\u2019s 100-plus-year history. The Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the first factory production car to run the quarter mile under 9 seconds with a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-certified 8.91-second ET at 151.17 mph. On the drag strip, the Challenger SRT Demon 170 receives an NHRA violation letter for running a sub-nine-second quarter-mile without a safety cage or parachute, following in the footsteps of the original Demon, which was also banned from NHRA quarter miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black keys are\nalso banned from the Challenger SRT Demon 170, as the fastest Dodge Challenger\never will be delivered only with red key fobs. The 2018 Challenger SRT Demon\nfeatured a black key fob to limit horsepower and a red key fob to unlock full\noutput; the new Demon unleashes horsepower levels determined not by a key but by\nsensing the percentage of ethanol fuel content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo celebrate\nthe end of the HEMI muscle-car era, we pulled off all the governors to reach a\nnew level, a new benchmark of \u2018factory-crazy\u2019 production car performance,\u201d said\nTim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer \u2013 Stellantis. \u201cIn 2015, Dodge\nshocked the world with the 707 horsepower Hellcat. Then in 2018 we did it with\nthe 840 horsepower Demon, and now we are doing it again with the 1,025\nhorsepower Demon 170, the world\u2019s first sustainable-energy, eight-second\nfactory-production, street-legal muscle car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dodge “Last Call” vehicles commemorate the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger, which are coming to an end in their current HEMI\u00ae<\/sup>-engine-powered forms at the end of 2023. Six special-edition \u201cLast Call\u201d vehicles were previously introduced, leading up to the reveal of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
