Nearly everyone drives, but some cars simply attract more attention. While the Mustang seems to be pulling inspiration from its sedan sibling the Fusion and the Camaro looks like a child’s drawing of a car: a box on wheels. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, on the other hand, takes the classic muscle car look the Camaro was going for and gives it some light curves.

• The wide-body design of the Challenger ensures you feel grounded even when chasing that redline.
• An Air-Grabber hood scoop gives the coupe an old-school flair while funneling cool air under the hood.
• Unique Demon badging ensures drivers won’t mistake your Challenger for just any car.

Of course, the Demon is far from the only Challenger, but all of its style is built on the standard aesthetic you’ll find on even the entry-level model.

The 2018 Dodge Demon is in a league of its own, and even the Camaro ZL1 and Mustang Shelby GT350 have trouble keeping up. First, let’s focus on the Challenger:

• The Challenger Demon has the highest horsepower of any production car: 840 hp. The Camaro ZL1 maxes out at 650 hp and the Mustang Shelby GT350 hits just 526 hp.
• With a sustained 1.8G, the Challenger is capable of the highest G-force of any production car.
• With such a powerful engine, you shouldn’t be surprised this is the world’s fastest 0-60 mph time for a production car: 2.4 seconds.
• Even on the entry-level model, the Challenger kicks out 305 hp, going neck-and-neck with the Mustang and eclipsing the Camaro’s 275 hp.

Dodge is also the only automaker with AWD as an option on their muscle cars.

We’ve already let the cat out of the bag that the powertrain under the hood of the Challenger is one of the most remarkable to have ever been produced. Let’s look at the specs Mustang and Camaro drivers will be dreaming of.

• A supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 powers each Challenger Demon.
• No corners were cut here; the supercharged V8 meets SAE J1349 industry standards as well as all applicable legal emissions regulations.
• The SRT Power Chiller keeps the air as close to the ideal temperature as possible for max performance.
• Improvements upon the Hellcat engine include a larger supercharger, increased boost pressure, two dual-stage fuel pumps, and a higher RPM limit.
• The result is the most powerful V8 ever produced, capable of 840 hp.
