It has built a series of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/news\/g43369019\/dodge-charger-challenger-last-call-gallery\/\">last call<\/a>&#8221; versions of the Charger and Challenger, limited editions with callback paint colors and retro liveries that refer to muscle-packed Dodges of old. Now it really is getting ready to end the car design and is doing so with a bang, via the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170, a production car so fast it can even show a Tesla Model S Plaid a clean pair of shoes with a 1.66 second 0-60 mph time.<\/p>\n<p>Dodge&#8217;s engineers have performed quite a bit of work under that bulging &#8220;Air-Grabber&#8221; hood compared to lesser Demons. There&#8217;s a new supercharger with a larger throttle body and a pulley that increases boost pressure by 40 percent compared to the Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get the best results by feeding it E85 (a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline); on this fuel, the Demon 170 generates an enormous 1,025 hp (764 kW) and 945 lb-ft (1,281 Nm). On the more common E10 fuel, the engine will generate a slightly milder 900 hp (671 kW) and 810 lb-ft (1,098 Nm).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1925572#p3\">Read 6 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1925572&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1925572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 will do 0-60 in just 1.66 seconds<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 makes its wheels-up debut run at the Dodge Last Call Powered by Roadkill Nights Vegas performance festival at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 20, 2023.
