About the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon LA
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was a single-model-year special designed specifically to dominate the drag strip while remaining street-legal. It was the first production car capable of a front-wheel wheelie and featured the largest functional hood scoop of any production vehicle. Powered by a heavily revised 6.2-litre Hemi V8, it produced 840 hp when using 100-octane fuel and the 'Demon Crate' powertrain module. Its performance was so extreme that the NHRA officially banned it from competition for being too fast without a roll cage, cementing its status as a modern muscle icon.
