2018 Dodge Challenger Demon Update: Everything We Know About

The most recent teaser from Dodge for its up and coming to 2018 Challenger SRT Demon has recently been released. This time, the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon quickly shows how fast it can launch itself. Dodge has guaranteed that the up and coming to 2018 Challenger SRT Demon will be significantly faster than the active Hellcat and this might just be the automaker's method for demonstrating that it will keep its assertion.

Dodge's most recent teaser video for its 2018 Challenger SRT Demon begins with one of the Demon's tires changing and moving endlessly at high speed. The teaser video went on for 16 seconds and it also demonstrated the sidewall of its tire where the "P315/40R18 102W" was engraved. Clearly, this refers to the details of the tires that were already implied as drag type radials.

As per carbuzz, the only affirmed details is that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will have a wider body all together for the automaker to be able to fit the wider tires that are said to be 15 percent wider than those that are fitted in the outgoing Dodge Hellcat.

Reports cited that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be paired with an automatic transmission. It was also detailed that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon's gearbox will give around 18 percent more torque augmentation than the gearbox found in the outgoing Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

As indicated by Car and Driver, Dodge still declines to reveal the amount of horsepower and torque of the up and coming 2018 Challenger SRT Demon can generate from its supercharged V8 motor. It was specified, that Dodge claimed the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon to have a higher stall speed than the powertrain found in the outgoing Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

Also, the outgoing hellcat's final drive proportion of 2.62 gearing will be replaced by a faster 3.09:1 in the up and coming 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. Given these fact no doubt Dodge will truly be keeping its pledge about the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon being more powerful than the active Hellcat.
