How much horsepower does the 2024 Dodge Demon have?

The straightforward answer is that there is no standard 2024 Dodge Demon in Dodge’s current lineup. The Demon name has appeared in two distinct forms: the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon with 840 horsepower, and the modern Demon 170, a limited-edition variant introduced for the 2023–2024 window that delivers up to 1,025 horsepower on certain fuels.


Two generations of the Demon: 2018 original vs. Demon 170


The following figures reflect Dodge’s publicly released horsepower ratings for the Demon variants commonly discussed by enthusiasts and reviewers.


Before listing the horsepower figures, here is a concise overview of the two generations:



  • Dodge Challenger SRT Demon (2018): 840 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 (official marketing rating for the model year).

  • Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 (2023–2024): up to 1,025 horsepower on E85 (ethanol) fuel; horsepower on regular gasoline is lower and varies with fuel and conditions.


In practice, the Demon 170 represents the modern, limited‑run interpretation of the name, while the 2018 Demon remains the original production car widely remembered for its high power and drag-race focus. Fuel type, ambient temperature and testing method can affect the exact numbers reported by different outlets.


Fuel and performance notes


To reach their peak ratings, these vehicles rely on specific fuel types and calibration. The Demon 170’s 1,025-horsepower figure is tied to E85 or similar high-ethanol blends; on standard high-octane gasoline, the horsepower is noticeably lower. Owners and collectors should be aware that real-world numbers can vary based on fuel quality, environmental conditions, and the testing methodology used by manufacturers or independent testers.


For prospective buyers or enthusiasts, it’s important to recognize that the Demon name for 2024 effectively points to the Demon 170 variant in Dodge’s limited-run strategy, not a traditional, widely available Dodge model. The original 2018 Demon remains a landmark car in the brand’s performance history.


Summary


In short, there is no single “2024 Dodge Demon” horsepower figure. The historic 2018 Demon produced 840 hp, while the modern Demon 170—present in the 2023–2024 window—offers up to 1,025 hp on E85 fuel. Real-world numbers depend on fuel choice and testing conditions.
