Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Will Cost "Well Below" $100k
As Dodge so gleefully told us during that extensive teaser campaign, the new Challenger SRT Demon has been heavily re-engineered compared to the ‘lesser’ Hellcat. We’re talking about the addition of an air conditioning-based charge cooler , a trans brake, a heavily upgraded driveline and much more besides. With all those changes, this thing is going to be devilishly expensive, right? Well, not necessarily.
Speaking to Road and Track, Tim Kuniskis - FCA’s Head of Passenger Car Brands - said: “Obviously [the Demon’s price] will be more than a regular Hellcat, but it’s gonna be well below six figures”. With the Hellcat costing $64,195 in the USA (it’s not sold in the UK, boo etc), we’re going to make an educated guess of around $90,000 for the Demon.
Given all the work that’s gone into it, and the fact we’re talking about an 840bhp car that’ll do 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds, that seems like outstanding value for money.

CARTHROTTLE IS TURNING INTO WIKIPEDIA…..
LOOK AT THE AMOUNT LINKS IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH……
Are those the actual front tires cause at the NYC car show it showed tiny Prius tires on the front?
I think the little ones come in the trunk

What about this vs a Dodge Demon
Insert VAT and now you have something above 100k
All that advertising money could go on to bring back the viper…
Am I the only one feeling rather sad for the Hellcat?
It is an amazing car and now it’s been completely overshadowed by the Demon.. Just like the Hellcat overshadowed the normal SRT challenger with the difference of that name.
The SRT was just another challenger, the Hellcat, just because of its name, it stood out of the lineup and now it like completely overshadowed.. :(
Good thing the Hellcat still comes with a manual, if I had the money I’d seriously consider going for a manual Hellcat instead of the demon but I know that that’s just me
