Despite Demand, Dodge Demon Won’t Return As 2019MY, Flippers Rejoice
Dodge has confirmed that there will not be a Challenger SRT Demon produced for the 2019 model year.
When the drag-focused Demon
was unveiled last year, the automaker said it would only be built for
the 2018 model year and limited to 3300 examples worldwide. Despite
this, a number of rumors have surfaced indicating that due to demand,
Dodge has decided to build the Demon for one more year.
Speaking to Allpar, however, Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis denied the possibility of the Demon returning in 2019.
“2018 only, one-and-done. The people who sit back and wait for next year are going to miss out,” he confirmed.

The Demonic Hype, Clarified
The Hidden Meaning In All of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Teasers
Demon Teaser: Body
The Demon is the first production car capable of doing a wheelie. #2576@35 refers to the 2,576 pounds of weight transfer to the rear wheels and the 35 inches the car travels with the front wheels in the air. If told us you guessed this, we're not sure we'd believe you.
Demon Teaser: Crate
The numbers 0757 and VIN001121 weren't so easy. This was the first appearance of 757, something that would come back later on. 001121 is supposed to be a date, 11/21, or November 21. That's the date the Demon set its 9.65-second quarter-mile run. Inside baseball kind of stuff and again, not guessable.

I'm Kinda Disappointed After All The Hoopla
840 hp 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has arrived:
Here are all the details We never thought the Hellcat would look so tame.
After months of teasers, rumors, cryptic messages, and veiled hints, the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is finally here, and it's as wonderfully insane as we hoped it would be. Finally we know the facts and figures that Dodge has been hinting at for so long. 840 horsepower. 770 lb-ft of torque. 2.3 seconds to 60 mph. A quarter-mile run of 9.65 @ 140 mph. While pricing hasn't been announced, Dodge is trying to keep it under $100,000.
That horsepower figure makes this the most powerful production V8 ever. With those 0-60 and quarter-mile times, it's also NHRA certified as the quickest production car ever. All that power and all of the Demon's trick launching software and hardware will throw a driver back against their seat with 1.8 Gs. Drivers will be seeing a bit of sky, as the Demon is the first production car to pull a wheelie from a dead stop. Yes, this is all totally and 100 percent street legal.
In order to make all this power, the red-painted supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 has been significantly improved over the Hellcat. It's equipped with a larger 2.7-liter supercharger that turns the boost up to 14.5 psi, redlines at 6,500, and what Dodge is calling SRT Power Chiller, a system that uses the air conditioning to cool the air coming in through the new Air Grabber hood scoop. In order to keep your engine running time and time again, there is an after-run cooler than cools the supercharger after the car is shut off.
