Are Dodge's regular Hellcat models not enough for you? The Demon 170 might be the right choice then, though you may want to get ready to blow a staggering amount of money for it.
Unveiled while spring was hovering over the northern hemisphere in 2023, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is the official continuation of the demonic series. It is also a proper farewell to the outgoing Challenger lineup, one that can humiliate muscle cars.

Dodge has released some very enthusiastic straight-line numbers, with the 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) taking a blistering 1.66 seconds and an 8.91-second quarter-mile time with a 151.17 mph (243.28 kph) exit speed. As for the reworked supercharged 6.2-liter V8, it now pumps out as much as 1,025 hp and 945 lb-ft (1,280 Nm) of torque.

Mind you, it will need E85 in the tank to achieve those numbers, with the automaker stating that filling it with E10 will lead to 900 hp and 810 lb-ft (1,097 Nm) of torque. The Demon 170 is capable of pulling a little over 2Gs of lateral acceleration, and these are truly mind-bending numbers when it comes to a street-legal car – yep, you can drive it on any road, and you'll probably be able to annihilate most things on four wheels at the drag strip.

Dodge's Challenger SRT Demon 170 will go down in history as one of the baddest vehicles ever made. And with only 3,300 units seeing the light of day, it is also a collectible. The automaker's MSRP is $96,666, but we all know that the examples that hit the second-hand market occasionally tend to cost a heck of a lot more than that. Even the pictured one is valued at three times over the manufacturer's suggested retail price, as you will have to cough out $299,900 to park it in the garage.

On the plus side, it has only the delivery miles under its belt, with the Garage Kept Motors ad revealing that the odometer reads nine (14 km). The original window sticker and build sheets accompany this black over red muscle car, which is said to be one of 331 made so far without the rear seats and one of 299 to feature the two-piece carbon fiber wheels.

The vendor welcomes in-person inspections, albeit by appointment only. Still, what you see is what you get, meaning a brand-new muscle car that has the ability to humiliate real hypercars. If money is the least of your concerns, you should definitely do what your heart dictates, as life's too short to be lived in ordinary machines. We'd certainly buy it in a heartbeat, as such rides are a dying breed, and this will probably be the last of its kind.
