In common with most US car builders, all searching through their back catalogues for ideas, Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 as their contribution to the industry’s retro-inspired muscle-car renaissance. Drawing largely from the 1970 Challenger R/T, the new Challenger had a wide, menacing stance and was available in a variety of bespoke colours and with a selection of powerful engines, highlighted by the 425bhp, SRT8. It was an instant hit with MOPAR fans who had been waiting years for a new Challenger.

The first face-lift was in 2015, with the high-performance SRT8 replaced by the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. The Hellcat was claimed to generate an astonishing 707bhp and was capable of thundering up to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds on its way to 199 mph. However, the Hellcat was just the beginning of Dodge’s foray in the contemporary horsepower wars.

In April 2017, at the New York Auto Show, Dodge debuted the Challenger SRT Demon. Essentially a road-legal drag car, the Demon was powered by 6.2-litre, supercharged HEMI V-8 putting out an incredible 840bhp and 717 foot-pounds of torque, the sort of numbers that would normally apply to a small ocean liner. A redesigned, eight-speed HP90 automatic transmission was created to deal with the power and gear changes could be summoned through steering-mounted paddles. The Demon is capable of screaming past 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds (about half the time it takes to read this sentence)  prior to going through the quarter-mile in 9.14 seconds at 152 mph.

This, left-hand drive, 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a one-owner example and has covered just 245 miles from new. Ordered and imported new through Clive Sutton at a cost of £136,950, this special car has been tastefully specified in Pitch Black Clear Coat (PX9) with Demon Logo Laguna/Alcantara seats in black. This Demon even retains its yellow front-splitter shipping protector, which has become a popular item to preserve and offers a stylish bit of flair.

Other options include ‘Customer-preferred package 26M’,  6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8 SRT engine, 8-spd auto HP90 transmission, monotone paint, rear leather seat option, comfort audio group – leather seats, Demon vehicle storage package, Red seat belts and boot carpet kit.

Importantly the car is accompanied by the coveted 'Demon Crate' of parts, a staggering $1 no-brainer option which includes everything required  to convert the car on a short-term basis to a Dragster. Please note, this crate will be available to collect from our vendor's storage after the auction.

In summary, this is an extremely rare and exciting opportunity, especially in the UK, to acquire a simply amazing American muscle car, offering collector quality and unbelievable performance
