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.

Is this because it’s banned from racing?
Cage it and you’re back in business. Seriously. That’s all it needs for it to qualify for NHRA events.
If you are that serious about going racing, buy a Challenger DragPak and a trailer
Are you guys sponsored by Dodge?
A stock car that can do wheelie barely needs to do sponsorship.
Lol that was a legit question, since you post this car weekly :D But well that’s what you get downvotes for :D
I don’t mind it being banned from racing because if two Demons pulled up to the tree it would be a dead heat.
You don’t need to go racing, this car can be raced on paper.
It is literally a Top Trump car. That’s it’s only purpose.
I think Dodge have run out of ideas at this point. They have nothing new so… more power!
they could always bring back the SRT-4, that would be cool…
It’s not banned from racing, you must be a fool.
Well, apart from the fact two Demons racing would be a dead heat, they’d probably also accelerate the Earth’s rotation when they launch at once
Wrong. You can have 2 of the same car. Same stats, same everything. Won’t be a dead heat. It comes down to driver, and driver reaction.
Damn. It costs 100K and goes much faster than other million dollar supercars.
inb4 the “handling” guys that forget the Demon’s purpose is straight lines so cornering is irrelevant
I guess I wont find it too challenging to afford one of these.
I eill show you out
Matt, I appreciate the spirit your pun. It’s fiendishly difficult to pull off a good one. Some of us have a supernatural talent in our possession and some have to practice and keep exorcising that skill.
Damn man, still going strong on CT I see! How long have you been an active member now?
