Despite Dodge’s transition to electric and twin-turbo engines in its latest Charger generation, enthusiasts still hold the legendary Hellcat V8 in high regard.
Renowned for its power and performance, the supercharged 6.2-liter engine has powered various Dodge models over the years, including the Challenger, Charger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
With outputs exceeding 700 horsepower, the Hellcat engine set benchmarks for muscle car performance. The Challenger SRT Demon, a standout model, boasted an impressive 840 horsepower and blistering acceleration, making it a formidable force on the drag strip.
Dodge pushed the limits further with the Challenger SRT Demon 170, featuring a revamped supercharged V8 capable of producing up to 1,025 horsepower. With astonishing acceleration and quarter-mile times, it became a coveted rarity among enthusiasts.
Limited production numbers and iconic drag racing performances have solidified the Demon’s status as a collector’s item. Fans’ enthusiasm has been further heightened by recent drag racing encounters between various Demon variations, which further cement Dodge’s reputation as a leader in the high-performance car industry.
