However, the engine – mammoth as it is – isn't solely responsible for such pace. “To celebrate the end of the Hemi muscle car era, we pulled off all the governors to reach a new level, a new benchmark of factory-crazy production car performance,” said Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis. For reference, the previous title holder, the Aspark Owl, claims 1.7sec the Rimac Nevera clocks 1.95sec and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 2.4sec (to 62mph). The huge output also makes the Demon 170 the world’s fastest production car in the 0-60mph sprint, completing it in just 1.66sec. This makes it the first factory-produced muscle car capable of an 8.0sec quarter-mile, claims Dodge, earning it a ban from National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) drag races at full speed without a roll cage and a parachute. Such is the might of the Demon 170 that it can cover a quarter-mile drag strip in just 8.91sec, reaching 151.17mph.
A ‘power chiller’ system also diverts the air-conditioning system to the supercharger, helping it to maintain optimal temperatures. The supercharger has also been reworked with a larger intake and a smaller 3.02in pulley, giving a 40% increase in boost pressure to 21.3psi (1.47bar). 2017 New York motor show - the 'other' cars gallery.How Hollywood is failing the auto industry.840bhp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon spotted in narrow-body spec.
