After 3,300 units, Dodge ceased production of the
Challenger SRT Demon a couple of months ago. Nevertheless, the internet has
welcomed a good chunk of various videos depicting the possessed muscle car in
action, some of them more exciting than others.
Tuners have also gotten their hands on several
examples, including Hennessey, which has come up with an even more powerful
Demon. Their model is equipped with the HPE1000 package, which allows the
supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine to push out in excess of 1,000 horsepower.
A recent dyno testing revealed a mind-blowing
1,056 hp and 1,311 Nm of torque produced at the
crankshaft. So, comparing it to the regular muscle car, it’s 216 hp more powerful, which, according to the tuner, allows it to reach 96 km/h) in a whopping 1.93 seconds and to run the quarter mile in 9.38
seconds, at almost 237 km/h.
There’s no doubt that the Hennessey Dodge Demon is a
very impressive beast, capable of smoking some very expensive supercars, but
have you actually heard how good it sounds? Regardless of your answer, the
aftermarket specialist has released yet another video with the high-performance
model, showing it accelerating a few times and highlighting its V8 symphony,
which, we have to admit, sounds very good.
