We say goodbye to an amazing vehicle this week. The Dodge 2018 Challenger SRT Demon has concluded their production, and the last example has left the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada.
The final Demon will be heading to the Barrett-Jackson Northeast Auction in Connecticut from June 20-23. It will be sold alongside the final Dodge Viper. Te proceeds will go toward United Way, a nonprofit organization aimed at supporting health, education, and financial stability in communities around the world.
Before then, the Demon will be taken to an upfit center. Here, workers will add the final touches to the vehicle, such as an exclusive red paint job, 18-inch aluminum wheels, 18-inch Demon drag radial tires, Demon logos, and unique VIN badging.
The Demon was quickly becoming one of my favorite performance vehicles, so it's a shame to see it end so soon. Not that this is a surprise. Dodge stated since the start that the model would only run for one year, and 3,000 examples in the U.S. (with 300 for Canada).
The Challenger SRT Demon has a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 engine that pushes 840 hp when running on race gas. Dodge claims it can run the quarter-mile in an NHRA-certified 9.65 seconds at 140 mph, can hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, and that it’s the first production car that can lift its front wheels at launch.
