2018 Dodge Challenger Atlanta GA

What are the Power Features of the Challenger?

A 6.2-liter Demon V8 HEMI engine with a stupefying 840 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and sinister 770 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm raises the bar across the muscle-car circuit. The Demon then chains a TorqueFlite 8HP90 8-speed automatic transmission directly to that engine. Coupled with that is a 3.09 rear axle ratio, Torque Reserve, and 1st-ever, factory-production car TransBrake feature, which locks the transmission output shaft for a faster standing start time. An all-electric powertrain eases driver fatigue while driving slow, a small but appreciated feature to be sure! Significantly, the Demon Crate contents include a performance powertrain control module (PCM) with a high-octane engine calibration and will ensure your Demon is fully prepped to race fast and hard. With the specially-created Performance Pages, drivers can genuinely track in real-time when their Demon is ready by viewing the supercharger coolant temperature and a whole host of other system information. With the inherent After-Run Cooler and the SRT Power Chiller, intake air temperature is nearly 45?F less than in prior versions and readies the Demon for action much sooner than other vehicles under the similar conditions. Moving over to the Widebody on this question, the internationally known Dodge Challenger line is one of the most capable of powertrains in the world, and the Widebody is near the top of that lengthy list. The Widebody can be fitted with your choice of TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission or a Tremec 6-speed manual. A supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine with 707-hp at 6K rpm and 650 lb-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm, which is already more than most can handle! Having wider tires (than other Challengers) paired with this engine does an incredible job of allowing the full power of the engine to shine without loss of control.

Can you discuss the 2018 Demon's design components for a moment?

In the cabin of the Demon, a standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is centrally located and has the Performance Pages System with visuals on things like reaction times, horsepower output, torque, gear shifts, g-force, air-fuel ratios, battery voltage, transmission info, air-intake & fluid temps. There is a 'Demon' image icon on the fenders, plus a metal sculpture on the engine itself of a demon's face! There are a couple of packages available now, like the 'Satin Black hood/roof & decklid package' or the 'Laguna Leather Package'. The purchasable Harman Kardon audio system has eighteen-speakers if you don't mind the weight gain. Other possible selections would be a power sunroof, heated leather seats, and a heated steering wheel. The street-legal drag radial tires (315/40R18 Nitto NT05R) use a new compound & a specific tire sidewall construction meant for stronger launch times with twice the grip of the regular Challenger's tires. These tires allow a sidewall "wrinkle" on launch, and are wrapped around aluminum 18 x 11" lightweight wheels. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon invokes 4 custom driving modes: Drive, Eco, Drag, and Valet Mode. Either 91-octane or 100+ high-octane fuel can be used and the Demon innately sorts which of its dual-stage fuel pumps to use-- although it can run on a mix of them too! Assisting as well in engine performance while also looking cool is the wide "Air-Grabber" hood scoop - the biggest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car!

How are the 2018 Widebody model's performance components?

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody brings aboard a cooling element to the supercharger housing in the form of a low-temp circuit with dual air/coolant heat exchangers. Air flow gets to 30K-liters a minute and maintains an ambient engine temperature beneath 140 degrees Fahrenheit. One-of-a-kind illuminated Air-Catcher headlamps plus a center air intake-fitted aluminum hood keeps a relatively controlled engine bay temperature. A new standard electric power steering (EPS) system rears its head within the 2018 Widebody model, assisting in both high and low speed scenarios. The wider fender flares empower the Widebody to rock 305/35ZR20 Pirelli P-Zero performance tires around new 20 x 11-inch "Devil's Rim" split 5-spoke aluminum wheels for measurable traction gains. These wider tires, coupled with the strong drivetrain components and cooler supercharger, make for a vehicle that is able to drive stronger out of fast turns and to do so more reliably than other vehicles. Drivers will additionally get to program horsepower levels, paddle shifters (on automatic transmission), transmission shift speeds, and settings for steering, suspension, and traction.
