It looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has finally
found an exorcist as the company has built the final Dodge Challenger SRT
Demon. The last model was made at the Brampton Assembly Plant in
Canada and it marks the end for one of the most iconic muscle cars of the
modern era.
The Demon was introduced a little over a year ago at
the 2017 New York Auto Show. It was met with great fanfare as Dodge claimed the
car was the world’s fastest production model with a 0-96 km/h time
of 2.3 seconds. The Demon also boasted the world’s fastest quarter-mile time
for a production car with a run of 9.65 seconds at 225 km/h.
This impressive performance was due to the Demon’s
supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces up to 840 hp and 1,042 Nm of torque. These are some truly impressive numbers
and they make the Challenger SRT Hellcat look relatively tame in comparison.
Since the Challenger SRT Demon was designed to be a
limited edition halo model, Dodge limited to car to one production year and
3,300 units. Many of the models have already been sold but there’s still a
chance to purchase the last one.
Dodge and
Barrett-Jackson have joined forces to offer the “the ultimate last chance”
package at the Barrett-Jackson Northeast auction in Connecticut next month. The
package includes the final Challenger SRT Demon as well as the last Viper. One
hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the United Way and the pairing of
the two final production models is expected to drive bidders crazy.
Before the cars go up for auction, the final Demon
will travel to an upfit center for final of assembly. There it will be equipped
with an exclusive Viper Red paint job, drag radial tires and special badging.
