This past weekend at the 2024 Mecum Kansas City auction, a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon found a new owner, fetching $93,500 after fees. With only 28,958 miles on the odometer, Demon No. 1,293 joined an elite lineup of performance-focused classics and solidified its status as a collectible muscle car masterpiece.
A Rare Beast of the Drag Strip –
As one of just 3,300 units produced, this Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a rare gem in the world of high-performance vehicles. Its 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI® Demon V8 engine delivers an impressive 808 horsepower on premium 91-octane fuel, escalating to a jaw-dropping 840 horsepower when fitted with the Direct Connection Controller and fueled with 100-octane unleaded. Torque figures are equally staggering, ranging from 717 lb.-ft to 770 lb.-ft.
This car isn’t just fast—it’s groundbreaking. With an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.2 seconds on street tires and 10.8 seconds on drag radials, it remains a factory-built drag racer with street-legal status.
Engineering Excellence –
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is packed with first-ever features in a production car:
- SRT Power Chiller™: A liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system.
- After-Run Chiller: Keeps the supercharger cool even after the engine is off.
- TransBrake: Enhances launch power and speed.
- Torque Reserve: Boosts torque at launch.
- 100-Octane Fuel Capability: Compatible with both high-octane and standard fuel.
Additional upgrades, like a larger 2.7-liter supercharger with 14.5 psi boost and an increased 6,500 rpm limit, contribute to its incredible performance.
Built for Racing, Styled for the Streets –
Dressed in a striking Go ManGo (PVP) and Black two-tone paint scheme, this SRT Demon exudes boldness. The design includes rear seat and trunk carpet deletes to reduce weight, while street-legal Nitto drag radials and 15-inch lightweight wheels ensure optimal performance on the drag strip.
The Serialized Demon Crate –
This Challenger came with its original serialized Demon Crate, a highly sought-after package containing drag-specific components like narrow front drag wheels, a high-octane PCM, and a tool kit designed to maximize the car’s potential.
