The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 races down a drag strip during an event to unveil the car Monday, March 20, 2023, in Las Vegas. – The last gas-powered muscle car from Dodge isn't leaving the road without some squeals, thunder and crazy-fast speed.
Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge brand and the unofficial spokesman for America's gas-powered rubber-burners, said that, while he'll miss the traditional muscle, he's excited about“It's the end of an era, for sure,” he said Monday. “Electric products, they're very fast. Muscle cars, one of the primary ingredients is to be a fast accelerating car. So I've automatically got the power.
According to Stellantis, the car will be the first production vehicle to run a quarter-mile in under nine seconds — 8.91 to be exact. To do that, it hits a speed of just over 151 mph . Horsepower and speed depends on how much ethanol is in the fuel. “After all these years, we owed it as much to them as to ourselves to celebrate this end, and give them something that produces a lot of pride in the brand that they love," he said.
Stellantis will make only up to 3,300 of them, and Kuniskis isn't sure if they'll hit that number due to potential parts shortages and a limited production time.
