2018 Dodge Demon Price ,Specs, MSRP
2018 Dodge Demon Price – Dodge’s latest monster muscle car is a mega-power drag-race special, and its name is Demon. Standard Demons come with a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that cranks out 808 hp, but owners can increase that to 840 hp with the Demon Crate package. So equipped, the Demon will demolish the quarter-mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph, Dodge claims. Weight-saving measures have been taken wherever possible, and even passenger seats are optional. The Demon goes on sale in fall 2017; only 3000 will be produced.
the Demon is the first street-legal production car that can lift its front wheels off the ground under hard acceleration. It has 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque. It’ll hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, 100 mph in 5.1 seconds and blitz the quarter-mile lights in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph.
It’s so fast that it’s banned from drag-racing competition, but more on that in a moment.
2018 Dodge Demon Engine Options
With a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 and bodywork about as aerodynamic as the factory this car came out of, you could be forgiven for thinking SRT simply resorted to a blunt-force-trauma approach to more speed — more power.
In truth, you’d be half right, but despite resurrecting a storied Seventies nameplate, the Demon is no knuckle-dragger — there’s a truly surprising amount of technology and production-firsts at work here. Dodge has found ways to make just about every old-school drag-racer performance trick reliable enough to slip into a production car and still slap a warranty on it.
the SRT Demon is the first factory-production car with an available specially calibrated engine control computer to take advantage of 100+ octane race gas.
It’s the first production car equipped with a trans brake, which locks the transmission so that drag racers don’t have to worry about standing on the brakes to prevent creeping through the timing lights when dialing up the RPMs at the starting line you just tug the steering wheel paddles to launch.
The Demon is also the first production car with a novel liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system that diverts cold air from the air-conditioner loop, as well as an After-Run Chiller that cools the supercharger after the engine is turned off.
It’s the first car with a Drag Mode suspension setup for optimal weight transfer, a key component in straight-line performance. Hell, it’s even the first production car available with a set of super-skinny front-runner wheels just for drag racing, part of an optional crate of performance parts and tools.
This isn’t just SRT following the muscle-car blueprint of shoving an ever-bigger engine into a smaller car, it’s gone over the Demon inch by inch to look for competitive advantages. It didn’t just crank up the boost on the 6.2 (although it is up to 14.5 psi), it replaced over 50 percent of the Hellcat’s standard internals and comprehensively reworked its fuel system and breathing, including adding dual fuel pumps and what Dodge says is the “largest functional hood scoop of any production car.”
to eliminate teeth-shattering wheel hop under hard launches, the SRT Demon even uses the car’s existing wheel-spin sensors to detect slip and momentarily curb engine torque to reestablish traction quickly and protect the driveline. Yes, there’s software magic to go with this car’s hardware trickery.
With “more speed” as its ever-guiding principle, SRT also jettisoned whatever weight it could, to the point that the Challenger SRT Demon actually comes as a single-seat car. (Rear and front passenger seats can be added back for the grand sum of $1, however, so this monoposto arrangement is arguably largely symbolic.). The SRT team cut around 200 pounds from the standard Challenger Hellcat Demon, mostly by removing creature comforts (much of which can be added back in at extra cost), but a lot of the model’s new equipment in turn adds weight back in. The Demon tips the scales at 4,280 pounds.
The good people at Dodge don’t have plans to take potential 2018 Challenger SRT Demon customers to the financial woodshed when it comes to pricing for the brand’s most potent muscle car ever. In fact, it could be one of the best dollar-to-horsepower ratios we’ve ever seen.
2018 Dodge Demon Price
Speaking to Road and Track, Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said pricing for the 2018 Challenger Demon will start well below $100,000. Dodge is counting on customers wanting the serialized plaque as a measure against price gouging since the plaque will remain blank if a dealer simply orders a Demon at random.
“Obviously [the price] will be more than a regular Hellcat, but it’s going to be well below six figures,” Kuniskis said. A Challenger Hellcat can be had for $64,195, providing a bit of context for the pricing strategy. This is, of course, if dealers don’t get greedy and institute “market adjustments” to the price. After all, only 3,300 Dodge Demons will be produced.
2018 Dodge Demon Speed and Productions
FCA claims 0-to-60 test track times of 2.3 seconds. More impressive, the Demon claims a quarter-mile time of 9.65 seconds at 140 mph, both certified by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), both world records for a production car. Still another record associated with brute force acceleration: the highest straight-ahead g-force—1.8 g—exerted by any production car.
The new Demon is due to go into production this fall at FCA’s assembly facility in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. And that production will be very limited just 3000 cars for the U.S., and 300 for Canada.
