  • First 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye rolls off assembly line

    Demonic Dodges are ready to roll into dealerships. No, not those Demons that you're more likely to find rolling across an auction block. Today we're talking about the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, the first customer example of which rolled off the Brampton Assembly line floor Tuesday. Dodge continues to build up its lineup with vehicles boasting various amounts of truly insane horsepower on tap. At the "low end," you'll find 485-hp regular Challengers and Chargers. Take a walk through the wild woods of displacement and supercharging and you'll stumble across the entry-level...

    Buy Michael Andretti's barely used Dodge Demon

    If someone gifted you a car, would you drive it? I assume you would. Especially if that car happens to be an 840-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Michael Andretti has access to all sorts of cars, so when he's given a Demon he doesn't need to drive it. That's why his car is heading to auction...

    Hennessey's Dodge Challenger SRT Demon makes 1,013 HP...at the wheels

    Just a few short years ago, there would have been no way we'd believe that a mainstream automaker would sell a street-legal, 840-horsepower coupe. But Dodge does just that and the car is appropriately called the Demon. As is often the case though, tuning shops love taking already insane things and...

    Pair of Dodge Demons fetch relatively restrained bids at auction

    The suggested retail price of a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is $86,090. That's a ton of cash for a Dodge, but it's actually a fantastic deal considering the Demon is an 840-horsepower drag-strip all star built in a limited run of just 3,300. Good luck finding one for under $100,000, of course...

  • Hellcat driver hits 198 mph on the highway
    22-year old Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat owner charged for going 198 mph on public road

    The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is a 200-mph machine. It's a 707-horsepower (717 for 2019) insane muscle car that's warped our definition of "appropriate power." But with that power comes responsibility, and that's something a 22-year-old in North Carolina clearly lacks. William Jefferson posted a...

  • 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody

    Performance cars need to perform, and that means withstanding the rigors of track duty and the heat buildup it causes. We've seen that Chevrolet tests every Camaro SS and above (plus 1LE models) on a racetrack for 24 hours and that Audi Sport models do almost 5,000 miles on the Nürburgring. Now Motor Authority has learned that all SRT products are subjected to 24 hours on the racetrack at Ohio's Nelson Ledges Road Course. We spoke to Eric Heuschele, vehicle dynamics manager for SRT and Jim Wilder, vehicle development manager for SRT about the endurance testing Dodge does for its SRT...

  • 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320

    By the time you've digested and decoded the mouthful that is the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320's prolific name, rest assured the muscle car will be nearly halfway down a dragstrip. That's because the big naturally aspirated brute that debuted in Denver on Thursday is built for one-way glory, a quarter-mile at a time. (Ed's note: The accounting department loaned us a calculator to discover that there are 1,320 feet in a quarter mile.) Dodge introduced the new drag special at Bandimere Speedway ahead of the Mile-High NHRA Nationals Powered by Mopar, to appease buyers who couldn't...

    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has built the very last examples of its Dodge Viper supercar and Challenger SRT Demon street-legal drag racer, but the automaker didn't resort to locking the cars away in a heritage center or museum.

The final bid came in at $1 million, all of which, together with a 10 percent buyer's fee, has been donated to the United Way and American Heart Association charities. That's a combined 1,485...
