2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

Description

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was purely built for enthusiasts. After all, it's a supercharged Hemi V8 machine laying down 840 horsepower. And to make sure the power meets the pavement, the factory gave it a custom crate full of the best competition-style goodies. And so the only thing missing from making it an NHRA quarter-mile king right out of the box is a factory roll cage. But we're getting a bit too far ahead of this example because it looks like it has yet to experience tire-smoking fun. It's a one-owner babied coupe where the Demon crate is still in the original wrapping and the front splitter protector is still in place. So it's really its life thus far has been about going to shows and maintaining the best preservation just because we all knew these Demons will be truly in demand.

The Demon is one mean machine. After all, the standard Challenger already had the size to intimidate every Mustang and Camaro. But the specially developed widebody kit makes this the kind of aggressor where semi trucks will move out of your way. And a color like Plum Crazy Purple is the perfect way to present this ultimate Mopar. After all, it's a classic High Impact color from the muscle car heyday that also still knows how to radiate with authority today. The full dark side package looks terrific against the purple with the blackout grille, chin splitter, rear spoiler, and 18-inch wheels. And the satin black hood is a $2k option all on its own. It's a rare configuration that's worth every penny to show off the wide air grabber hood. But while this was built for pure power, you can also see that this Demon has yet to get really angry. The paint retains a showroom level of shine, and you will be searching for a long time before seeing any signs that this has even been out on the road. Even the rubber protector on the front splitter that's specifically designed for factory shipping is still in place. This level of care happens when someone appreciates a true exotic from day one. Ferrari is famous for making one less than the estimated demand of its special edition car so that they will always be desired. And we can't help but feel they might have sent that memo to the other side of the FCA corporate family at Dodge. With only 3,300 consumer examples, and less than 275 finished in this High Impact color, you know there will be someone making you an offer just about every time you let the Demon out of the garage.

Such low mileage means the interior is exceptionally preserved, too. There are some unique features for this Demon like the devilishly red seat belt option, Demon logo seatbacks, and a plaque on the passenger side vent with your individual serial number. But what may surprise you the most is how comfortable it all is on the inside. This has the passenger and rear seat options (yes, they are optional!) It is done in a nice leather/Alcantara combo, and the front buckets are even heated and ventilated. It has all the right features you want, including dual-zone A/C climate control, a power driver's seat, power windows, power locks, keyless entry & ignition, cruise control, power steering, dual front airbags, side airbags, and an SRT steering wheel with paddle shifters. The center of this interior is a premium touchscreen that runs all the luxury and technology features, including Bluetooth, a backup camera, satellite navigation, and a full set of race-ready apps. And while the interior appears almost untouched, what truly is still in the factory wrapper are the contents of the Demon crate. This is what you can use to turn this into a small tire quarter-mile machine. It includes a front drag wheel, a proper jack, a toolkit, air compressor, and even a powertrain control module to allow this to run on race gas. But as you'll notice from the pictures, these remain in their factory wrapping as more of the car's excellent preservation.

Under the hood what earns this coupe its demonic status: the 6.2-liter supercharged V8. The motor makes 800+ horsepower on pump gas, and the Demon crate pieces help unlock the full race-ready 840 horses and 770 lb-ft torque. The statistics on the car are amazing. The 0-60 mph time is rated at 2.3 seconds, and it runs the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds. So if you ever come up to a Bugatti or Ferrari at the stoplight grand prix, you're going to pull ahead and stay ahead. But those are the kinds of things you tell others when this is under your garage lights. After all, launch assist and big Brembo four-wheel disc brakes are there, but you're rarely ever going to use them to the fullest. The fact that this has an eight-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes means this racecar for the road can easily be driven to car shows.

The sale comes complete with all the right paperwork, including the factory buildsheet, the dealer invoice, a copy of the window sticker, and the owner's manual. And there's even a car cover so that you can properly tuck it in every night. This is the one-owner instant collectible that has been treated with the level of care you'd want if you had ordered this Demon brand new. So don't miss this awesomely preserved total package, call today!
