the ferocious heart of the dodge ‘challenger SRT demon’ produces 840 horsepower and 770 pounds-feet of torque. the red-painted ‘demon’ engine is SAE J1349 certified for its outrageous horsepower and torque ratings, while meeting all legal emissions regulations. the ‘demon’ V8 engine has 25 major component upgrades from the ‘hellcat’ engine, including supercharger, pistons, rods, valve train, and fuel injection system, paired with a standard ‘torqueflite 8HP90’ eight-speed automatic transmission. a key feature to this muscle car’s power output is air – the supercharged demon ‘V8’ breathes comfortably through the ‘SRT demon’s’ ‘air-grabber’ hood, with the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production automobile.

 
to achieve industry leading performance figures both the front passenger seat and rear seat, along with their corresponding seat belts, have been removed from the standard configuration, however, customers have the option of adding seats into the car, as well as adding leather coverings, at the extra expense of $1. the front seat(s) have the demon head logo stitched or embossed into the seat back. facing the driver is a flat-bottom ‘SRT’ performance steering wheel wrapped in alcantara with paddle shifters. the gauges include a 200-mph speedometer and flank the 7-inch TFT display. a custom carbon fiber instrument panel badge with ‘demon’ script is located on the outboard vent, proudly displaying the build sequence number. 

‘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’, comments tim kuniskis, head of passenger cars FCA north america. he continues, ‘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.’
