“The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half-second is your reputation,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles North America passenger cars, in a statement.
Dodge hasn’t shared any specific details about the Demon yet. After many hours and track miles in the Challenger Hellcat, you can put more traction and less weight at the top of our list of wants from the already borderline overpowered Hellcat. Dodge plans to slowly reveal Demon particulars via teaser videos leading up to the reveal just prior to the 2017 New York International Auto Show, which hosts its media days on April 12 and 13.
