The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon represents the most focused and performance-oriented version of the Challenger platform. Introduced for the 2018 model year, the Demon was engineered primarily for drag racing while remaining street legal. Its supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 produced up to 840 horsepower when running on high-octane fuel, making it one of the most powerful production muscle cars of its era. Dodge also equipped the car with drag-specific features, including lightweight components, a revised suspension, and factory-installed drag radials to maximize straight-line performance.
Building on the success of the original model, Dodge later introduced the Challenger SRT Demon 170 as the ultimate expression of modern HEMI-powered muscle. Producing up to 1,025 horsepower on E85 fuel, the Demon 170 became the most powerful production vehicle ever offered by the brand. Beyond its impressive performance figures, the Demon series has become a symbol of the muscle car era’s pursuit of maximum power and acceleration. As Dodge transitions toward electrification, the Demon and Demon 170 stand as memorable chapters in the history of American performance cars.
This replica is another effort from Solido. If you’re familiar with the brand, you’ll know its foundation is built on a broad assortment of models and affordability. The team continues to grow its market share through the sheer volume of releases. What Solido introduces in just a couple of months often surpasses what some of its closest competitors, such as Bburago and Maisto, bring to market over a 12-16 month period.
Up close, the model does reveal its budget-friendly roots, but the overall shelf presence is impressive nonetheless. The striking Tor Red finish, combined with the contrasting black accents, further enhances the already aggressive character of the Dodge Challenger Demon.
Access is limited to the interior only. So, if showcasing the beast beneath the bonnet is a priority, this replica may not be for you. An alternative would be AUTOart’s offering, though that comes at a considerably higher price point, typically two to three times the cost of the Solido version. Enjoy the pics!
