There are a lot of clever jokes to make with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat—cat jokes, hell jokes, jokes about how things might break off into your hand at any time. But this Hellcat looks like it traveled to hell and back, and is now ready to claim some poor soul who thinks it’s a feasible project car.
Dodge said that it would only build 3,300 2018 Challenger SRT Demons (3,000 for the U.S. and 300 for Canada) and video captured the last one just rolling off the line yesterday at the automaker’s Brampton, Ontario plant. This marks the end of an admittedly short era.
Ah, the Dodge Demon. It’s all the angst of internet memedom distilled and tamped down into an 840-horsepower Challenger. A street-legal superlative. Only two questions remain: Who’s buying it and what’s it for? Mr. Regular might have the answer.
The drag nightmare of a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was only planned for one model year, but its less powerful sibling isn’t going anywhere. The 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is a go, and the first teaser images of the car show that it’ll have a full-on snout with dual snorkels on the hood.
Indiana State Police pulled over a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat for going more than twice the speed limit on a toll road Tuesday, clocked at at 160 mph, as the department said in a statement. The driver purportedly told an officer he was “just trying to get to Maryland.”
Despite Dodge’s best attempts to prevent dealerships from drastically marking up its Dodge Hellcat and Dodge Demon cars, Carolina Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Lugoff, South Carolina is charging a $75,000 market adjustment, marking up the price of the car to a whopping $175,656.
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat may make 707 horsepower, but on a casual drive through the city, the amount of power it actually uses tops off at Honda Accord numbers. We set out to test how much of the car’s 707 HP a driver actually uses, thanks to a handy meter on the dash.
Spring semester is just getting started and for the commuters among us, that means you need a reliable car to get you to and from campus on time. If you’ve come here looking for the perfect ride this semester that fulfills all your needs as a student, you’ve come to the right place. Here are my picks for the top five…
It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the oddball V6/AWD or the asphalt-annihilating 840/808-horsepower Demon—every version of the relentlessly retro Dodge Challenger really does it for me. Here’s my favorite picture of the last one I got to road trip in.
I maintain the philosophy that any car is better when it’s made to go off-roading, whether that’s rallying or something more... extreme. This 4x4-converted 1972 Dodge Challenger for sale on Craigslist is definitely the latter, and it clearly validates my argument.
Natural disasters happen and they can absolutely ruin cars. Trees could fall on them. They could get swept away in floods. Forest fires could reduce them to ash. This tale, however, is one of hail, a Hellcat and a salvage title.
I don’t know if you are aware, but Dodge apparently made this muscle car called the SRT Challenger Demon. They really should have done a better job getting the word out, but it’s now for sale! How would you spec yours?
No one expects all-wheel drive to turn the Dodge Challenger into a WRX STI-slaying corner carver. No, the benefit is a little extra bite on slippery surfaces. I’m not convinced it’s superior to a set of snow tires, but it definitely hasn’t lost the personality that makes a Challenger so much fun.
Electric propulsion has become the new standard for automobiles. Everyone in the industry is collectively working overtime to dish out new methods of sustainable transportation to ensure the survival of our species. The decision is unanimous: gasoline must go. Yet, the Dodge Challenger still exists.
Are you familiar with “restomod” aesthetic? It’s when an old car is restored with modern goodies like power windows and LED lights. In some ways it feels like the 2017 Dodge Challenger, one of the last decidedly retro new cars left, is the ultimate restomod. It’s really just missing a few key pieces.
The 2017 Dodge Challenger GT AWD has been out for some time now, but this week I finally wrangled one into Jalopnik’s California garage and am heading to the mountains to find out what this giant two-door 4x4 is really made of.
All of you muscle car fans out there can take another swig of Bud Heavy because there’s a new extra beefy Hellcat from Dodge: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody. Don’t overthink the name. Dodge didn’t. This is like a Hellcat, but wider.
Last weekend, I took a trip to the Pontiac Silverdome, the abandoned Michigan stadium parking lot housing thousands of cheating Volkswagen diesels. As I filmed the sea of disgraced automobiles, a Dodge Challenger decided to rip some smoky burnouts.
See all that burnout smoke? It’s not coming from a clutch dump. You can get a hell of a lot from the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: 840 horsepower, 770 lb-ft of torque, a massive blower, 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds and bragging rights over your soft, feckless Hellcat owner friends. One thing you won’t get is three…
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has to surpass the 707 horsepower Hellcat somehow. All the tricks like anti-wheel hop and no passengers seats and a crazy cooling system aren’t enough—the people demand numbers. We don’t know those numbers officially yet, but the word going around is that the Demon’s most powerful…
