The crew over at
SpeedKore have created what could very well be the fastest Dodge Challenger SRT
Demon on earth. The Demon in question, which will be revealed at SEMA in Las
Vegas, has undergone a series of modifications that make it brutally quick. In
fact, this is now an 8-second car.
Demons that leave
the factory are fitted with a 6.2-liter V8 engine fed by a huge supercharger
and delivering 840 hp and 1043 Nm of torque. This allows it to
launch down the quarter mile in a frightening 9.65 seconds.
Not satisfied with
those figures, SpeedKore decided to ditch the supercharger and replace it with
a pair of huge turbochargers. These turbos, working alongside a plethora of
other modifications, allow the engine to deliver roughly 1400 hp at the
flywheel or exactly 1203 hp at the rear wheels.
During recent
testing of the vehicle, SpeedKore was able to send the beast down the quarter
mile in just 8.77 seconds at 260 km/h. This Demon isn’t exclusively
about neck-breaking performance. It also looks exquisite. Thanks to SpeedKore’s
expertise with carbon fiber, all of the vehicle’s body panels are now gloss
carbon. The tuner hasn’t said how much weight this saves, but the new skin
would have certainly contributed to the car’s quarter-mile efforts.
