2023 Dodge Challenger Demon

When Dodge unveiled the Challenger SRT Demon 170 in 2023, it marked not only the end of an era, but the culmination of a philosophy. A celebration of excess, audacity, and unrelenting straight-line performance, the Demon 170 is a sendoff to internal combustion unlike anything before it. Built as the most powerful production muscle car in history, it delivers 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque on E85—performance numbers once exclusive to hypercars costing five times as much.

Developed as the final installment in Dodge’s “Last Call” series, the Demon 170 takes the standard Challenger platform to its absolute mechanical and engineering limits. A heavily fortified 3.0L supercharger sits atop a revised 6.2-liter HEMI V8, fed by a dual-stage fuel delivery system that adjusts between premium gasoline and ethanol blends. Launch-ready drag radials, a transbrake-equipped 8HP90 automatic transmission, and a precision-calibrated rear differential deliver 0–60 mph in 1.66 seconds—making it the quickest factory car ever produced.

This example is finished in Pitch Black over Black leather, an understated and menacing specification that suits the car’s singular purpose. Widebody fenders, Demon 170 badging, and staggered 315-section Mickey Thompson drag radials lend the car an unmistakable stance. Inside, the cabin features a minimal yet refined layout, focused around performance essentials while still offering everyday usability.

Only 3,000 units were allocated for the U.S., with each car individually serialized. As production has officially concluded, the Demon 170 stands as the final chapter of the Challenger nameplate—a street-legal drag car backed by a full factory warranty and a legacy that stretches back to the height of 1970s Detroit horsepower wars.

More than a collector's item, the 2023 Demon 170 is a rolling provocation. It is the rare case where marketing bravado matches mechanical truth—the fastest, hardest-launching production car ever built, offered not by a boutique automaker, but by Dodge.

This one-owner, delivery-mile example presents an opportunity to acquire one of the most significant American performance cars of the modern era—a monument to combustion, built without apology or restraint.
