Dodge has unveiled its seventh and final “Last Call” vehicle and it instantly becomes the most powerful muscle car in the world. The 1,025-horsepower 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 reaches 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds and will run the quarter-mile in 8.91 seconds. During a video conference leading up to the launch, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis told reporters “This is the new pinnacle of factory crazy.”

“To celebrate the end of the HEMI muscle-car era, we pulled off all the governors to reach a new level, a new benchmark of ‘factory-crazy’ production car performance,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “In 2015, Dodge shocked the world with the 707-horsepower Hellcat. Then, in 2018, we did it with the 840-horsepower Demon, and now we are doing it again with the 1,025-horsepower Demon 170, the world’s first sustainable-energy, eight-second, factory-production, street-legal muscle car.”
