At the New York Auto Show, Dodge summoned the strongest model of the Challenger series - the Charger SRT Demon, and called it "the fastest mass-produced car in the world." As for how strong this Dodge Demon is, we have to start with a demonic "contract".
is said to be a contract, but it is actually a confirmation letter that needs to be signed before purchasing a car. However, this confirmation letter is different from the general car owner’s instructions, and you have to read it clearly before signing. For example, this first item, "Car owners need to know the dangers of demons and use all functions under the premise of safety. Misoperation may lead to serious accidents and even death."
acceleration G value can reach the terrifying 1.8
sounds a bit scary, but this is really not Dodge's mysterious behavior. As the most powerful 8-cylinder muscle car in the world, this demon has an output of up to 840 horsepower and 1044Nm. The 6.2L V8 turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission make the instant acceleration of this demon's ejection start reaching a terrifying 1.8G.
The name of the fastest mass-produced car in the world is not groundless. This demon accelerates 0-96km/s in just 2.3 seconds, the fastest in the world, and even Bugatti is beyond the reach. It also sets the Guinness World Record for the longest distance of the production car to drive at a static acceleration. Just as straight-line acceleration is concerned, the demon is worthy of Stephen Chow’s line: Don’t get me wrong. I'm not targeting anyone, I mean everyone here is rubbish.
In order to achieve these, the Demon replaced the supercharger with a higher boost value based on the original Charger SRT Hellcat engine, increasing the engine red line speed from 6200rpm to 6500rpm. Its 45.2 square inch large-sized air intake on the engine cover is also the largest mass-produced car in the world.
What's more exaggerated is that the headlights on both sides of the car have also been modified to air intakes. In this way, the demon can suck fresh air in big mouthfuls and convert it into powerful power.
is not allowed to install passenger seats privately
In addition to the strong horsepower, there is another interesting thing in the confirmation letter of Dodge Demon, "Car owners are not allowed to equip the co-pilot and passenger seats without authorization, because passengers in these positions will not be protected, which may lead to serious injuries or death."
It turns out that in order to pursue the ultimate acceleration performance, the co-pilot seats, rear seats, etc. in this demon car were all removed. All kinds of safety configurations are only for the main driving service. In order to achieve a total weight loss of 100kg, the demon's steering, suspension, brake and other components have also been lightweighted.
There is only one seat and it is a bit lonely, but this is in line with the positioning of this demon. It is a pure linear acceleration machine born for the straight-line acceleration race ADR (American Drag Racing). They are all called demons, why do you still consider daily life?
The weather is not good and you are not allowed to go on the road. There are two more interesting confirmation letters in the
: "Don't drive in rainy and snowy weather and temperatures below 15 degrees Fahrenheit (-9 degrees Celsius)" and "The devil is not designed for highways, please do not use it as a long-distance journey." It makes people feel that the conditions for use of this car are too harsh.
However, this is actually related to the positioning of the Demon racing . It is equipped with the NETTO NT05R linear acceleration special tire (Drag Tire) with shallow tread patterns and is not suitable for daily roads. Slip roads and long-term driving may be dangerous. The negative inclination angle of the rear wheels is reduced by 0.5°, which is also to pursue the ultimate acceleration performance.
In general, this is a straight-speed racing car with horsepower first, which is in line with the culture of the American muscle car. The value of its sentiment and collection is far greater than its practical value, and the sales volume is expected to not be large.
However, if you really encounter a demon waiting for a red light on the road in the United States, be careful. The fastest ejection start in the world is not a joke. And don’t forget that its owner has signed a “life and death clause”.
