Although the Challenger SRT Demon 170 is a straight-line machine, it is certified for road use. Drivers will be surprised to hear the roar of a 6,2-liter turbocharged V8 petrol. True, under the hood is not the same canonical engine, but its heavily redesigned version. The engineers did so much deep editing that only the camshaft remained of the original.

We almost forgot - the transmission in the most powerful muscle car is also not simple, but greatly improved. This is an 8-speed "automatic" model TorqueFlite 8HP90.
