2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 shows up in Panther Pink? ›

Costing an extra $30,000 above and beyond the car itself and any other options, this outrageous shade takes everything about the Demon

Dodge made 3,300 Challenger SRT Demon 170s, 3000 for the U.S. and 300 for Canada. All of them are powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 making 900 horsepower on standard premium fuel and up to 1,025 horsepower on E85.

It's the world's fastest production car from 0-60mph

For reference, the Demon is faster than a Bugatti Chiron (2.4secs) and the Tesla P100D with Ludicrous Plus (2.3 and a little bit).

Also a spring color, Panther Pink (or Moulin Rouge on Plymouth models) was on the options list for a couple of months for the 1970 model year. And in addition to being short-lived, it was far from popular.

The Challenger Demon is slightly faster and more powerful, with a top speed of 211 mph, compared to 202 for the Hellcat. Both the Hellcat and Demon have an iconic design and deliver a thrilling experience behind the wheel.

The Demon 170 is street legal, but engineered for drag racing. Its Hemi produces up to 1,025 hp and 945 pound-feet of torque, propelling the big coupe to 60 mph in an almost inconceivable 1.66 seconds. That power and performance requires E85 fuel, 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol.

Shortly after deliveries of the Dodge Challenger SRT^® Demon 170 began, a video surfaced online showing a Tesla Model S Plaid beating the Mopar_® muscle car pretty handily.

And the Demon 170 does not come standard with a roll cage or a parachute. A safety cage and a parachute are both optional extras. However, because it runs a quarter mile in less than nine seconds and those items are not included as standard, it'll be banned in its stock form.

Not even the mighty Dodge Challenger Demon 170 is quick enough to defeat Tesla's 1020-hp electric sedan in a drag race. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is undoubtedly the most capable factory street-legal drag car ever made.
