What Dodge is faster than the Dodge Demon?

When it comes to pure straight-line speed, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the fastest production Dodge model, outpacing even the legendary Dodge Demon. With its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine producing an astounding 797 horsepower, the Hellcat Redeye is a true performance powerhouse.


The Demon's Reign Comes to an End


The Dodge Demon, introduced in 2017, was previously the fastest and most powerful production car ever built by Dodge. With 840 horsepower and a top speed of 211 mph, the Demon set new benchmarks for drag racing performance. However, the Hellcat Redeye, introduced in 2018, has now surpassed the Demon in both power and speed.


Hellcat Redeye: The New King of Dodge Performance


The Hellcat Redeye's 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque give it a significant advantage over the Demon's 840 horsepower and 770 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a 0-60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds for the Hellcat Redeye, compared to the Demon's 2.3 seconds. However, the Hellcat Redeye's top speed of 203 mph is slightly lower than the Demon's 211 mph.


The Hellcat Redeye's performance advantage is due to several key factors:



  • Larger 2.7-liter supercharger compared to the Demon's 2.4-liter unit

  • Upgraded fuel system and engine internals to handle the increased power

  • Improved aerodynamics and cooling systems to maintain performance at high speeds


While the Demon may still hold the top speed record, the Hellcat Redeye's combination of blistering acceleration and impressive top speed make it the new king of Dodge performance.
