2018 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT DEMON - 131 MILES

This Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is an unapologetically extravagant muscle car, boasting an astonishing powertrain, and presented in as-new condition. Under the bonnet is a 6.2-litre supercharged V8, producing 808bhp and 717lb-ft of torque on standard fuel, and up to 840bhp and 770lb-ft on 100-octane race fuel. The power is deployed via an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the car is capable of an astonishing 0-60mph time of just 2.3 seconds. This car has just 131 miles on the odometer.

At its launch, the Dodge Demon could claim to be the world’s fastest accelerating production vehicle, capable of covering the quarter mile in just 9.65 seconds. Stripped of around 91kg of weight compared to its SRT Hellcat predecessor, the Demon was created with drag strip performance in mind. To that end, its ‘crate’ of accessories includes a fuel controller that unlocks the 840bhp power output when it measures 100-octane fuel in the system.

The Demon’s ‘race kit’, which of course still accompanies this car, also includes a pair of narrower and lighter front wheels, plus a hydraulic floor jack, cordless impact driver, torque wrench, tool bag, performance air filter and passenger mirror blanking plate.

This is recorded as an original UK-registered car, and was assigned its number plate in October 2018. It has never been registered overseas, and has remained with a single UK owner since arriving here two years ago.

Finished in the launch colour of Octane Red, this SRT Demon is presented in outstanding condition, with no damage to the bodywork and with a deep and glossy appearance to the paint. The body features a vast air scoop on the bonnet, flared wheel arches to accommodate the substantial tyres, a prominent front splitter and a boot lid spoiler. It rides on lightweight 18-inch alloy wheels, which are all in superb condition, fitted with 315/40 R18 Nitto drag radial tyres all round.

Despite the incredible drag strip performance, its well-appointed cabin gives the car another character. With black leather and synthetic suede for the upholstery, it is a comfortable place to sit - and there is even a bench seat to accommodate three people in the rear. Factory-fitted equipment includes dual-zone climate control, cruise control, electric windows, a sunroof, and a touch-screen user interface to control the car’s various powertrain and chassis calibrations.

Accompanying this car is the Dodge Challenger handbook and reference guide, Drive Mode supplement, and a dedicated SRT Demon Tips booklet. The original ‘Demon Crate’ is also present and correct, with the narrow front wheels still safely wrapped up and unused.

This Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a remarkable modern muscle car, which is presented in superb condition showing just 131 miles on the odometer, and which is now offered to another enthusiast. Whether they want to take it to the strip and pull wheelies, keep it safely stored in a collection of high-performance icons, or simply use it more conventionally for exciting weekend drives and events, this is an eye-catching coupe that is ready to thrill.
