With the right fuel blend, the Demon 170 is capable of producing an astonishing 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque.

Quarter Mile Dominance
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 was built with one primary goal in mind: to dominate the drag strip. It can achieve a quarter-mile time of just 8.91 seconds at 151 mph, a feat that places it in a class of its own among production cars. Dodge even engineered a special trans-brake system, which allows the driver to “pre-load” the car at the starting line, optimizing its launch and ensuring explosive acceleration.
E85 Ethanol Fuel Capability
The Demon 170 is optimized to run on E85 ethanol fuel, a high-octane racing fuel blend, which enables the engine to produce its full power potential. Drivers can also run the car on standard pump fuel, although it produces slightly less power in this mode. The flexibility to switch between fuel types gives drivers the convenience of everyday usability with the option to unleash maximum power on the track.
Design: Aggressive and Purpose-Built
A Look That Commands Attention
The design of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is as aggressive as its performance. Dodge wanted to make sure this car looked as powerful as it drives, and it shows in every detail. The Demon 170 features a wide-body kit that gives it a commanding road presence, with flared fenders, a massive front splitter, and a hood scoop designed to feed air into the powerful supercharged V8.
Functional Aerodynamics
Every part of the Challenger SRT Demon 170’s exterior is designed with functionality in mind. The hood scoop, for example, is specifically crafted to maximize airflow, cooling the engine and allowing for optimum performance on the drag strip. The rear spoiler provides just the right amount of downforce to keep the car stable at high speeds without creating unnecessary drag.
Lightweight Materials
Dodge has incorporated lightweight materials in several key areas of the Demon 170 to reduce weight and improve performance. The car’s seats, for example, are made with lightweight materials, and the rear seats can be removed to further reduce weight. Dodge offers an optional lightweight carbon fiber package for those who want to maximize the car’s power-to-weight ratio.

The Demon 170’s cabin features premium materials and sporty design elements that reflect its aggressive personality.
Performance-Oriented Seats
The Challenger SRT Demon 170 comes with specially designed seats that are built for maximum support during aggressive driving. They are bolstered to keep the driver and passenger secure during high-speed maneuvers, ensuring they remain in place as the car launches down the strip or tackles sharp turns.
At Simi Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you can experience the comfort and support of these performance seats firsthand.
Advanced Safety Features
While the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is primarily a performance-focused machine, Dodge has not compromised on safety. The car comes with a suite of advanced safety features to protect drivers and passengers, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Helps maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road.
