Dodge just revealed the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 to the world, and it is a beast: 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft from a street-legal, factory-stock vehicle, capable of doing an 8.91-second 1/4 mile at 151.17 mph and ripping from zero to 60 in 1.66 seconds. You can read our complete article on the Demon 170 here, including in-depth technical details on how Dodge managed to get Bugatti horsepower out of a car with an MSRP of $96,666. Here, we’ll just be gazing at every image of the Demon 170 that Dodge has published. Let’s dive in!

The Demon 170 is the first production car ever to wear Mickey Thompson ET Street R drag radials right from the factory — basically, drag racing slicks with just enough tread to be legal.

Notice something a little lopsided about the Demon 170? That’s right: It’s got the Widebody flares on the rear, but not on the front. Dodge says leaving the front flares off saves 17 pounds.

Yep, there’s our guy, sitting on top of the supercharger just like he was in the last Demon. Only this time, he’s got a little “170″ next to him — because E85 ethanol blend is 170-proof.

The skinny front tires are mounted on 18-inch wheels, while the monster rear slicks are wrapped around 17s.

Yup, it’ll put both front wheels in the sky.

This will never get old.

The Demon 170 gets the same enormous hood scoop we first saw on the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
Photo: Dodge
The “Air Grabber” hood scoop does have one additional detail on the Demon 170: The phrase “alcohol injected” is etched along the rim of the scoop.

With 1,025 hp, this thing does the mother of all burnouts.

The big-and-little wheel and tire combo looks great, if you ask me.

The NHRA won’t let a stock Demon on a drag strip, because any car that runs faster than 9 seconds in the quarter-mile needs a roll bar and a parachute.

Good thing Mopar Direct Connection sells a bolt-on parachute for drag racing!

Dodge had to modify the rear suspension to get those enormous Mickey Thompson drag tires to fit.

Dodge also removed the fender liners for better airflow to the engine.

Dodge updated the Demon logo with — we’re not kidding — a “170 neck tattoo” referencing the alcohol proof of E85. The little guy also gets yellow eyes in tribute to the corn that gives American gasoline its ethanol content. He’s called the Corn Demon.

That’s a mighty big spoiler.

Dodge will sell you a custom Goodwool car cover that’s customized to make your Demon 170 look like a low-poly NPC car in a video game.

The cover makes your Challenger look like it’s wearing a Challenger disguise. Of course, it’s got the Corn Demon on the fender.

The Demon 170 is the very last of the seven “Last Call” special-edition Challengers, and as such, it gets a commemorative plaque.

The 3.0-liter supercharger is the largest ever fitted to a factory-stock street-legal car.
Photo: Dodge
There he is again.

You can custom order a Demon plaque for the dashboard that features the last four digits of your Demon 170's VIN.

Previous supercharged Dodge muscle cars have come with a black key that limits power, and a red key that gives you the full engine output. For the Demon 170, all the keys are red.

Dodge really went all-out with the booze theme for the Demon 170: Each car comes with a tumbler and decanter set, etched with the owner’s name and the VIN of their Demon 170.
Photo: Dodge
This is the last thing you see before your entire body becomes enveloped in tire smoke.

Dodge released a bunch of photos of the Demon 170's instrument panel and its many displays. Let’s scroll through them all, together.

There’s our Corn Demon again.

Ready to launch!

The Demon 170 has the Power Chiller, which reroutes the air conditioning to cool down the intake charge.

Lots of stuff to tweak and tune.

Adjust your RPM for optimal launch.

Imagine telling someone 50 years ago that you could buy a factory stock, street-legal vehicle with 1,025 horsepower!

You know, to warm up the tires.

Gotta get those intake temps down before your next run!
Photo: Dodge
You can tweak and tune a bunch of preferences for your ideal drag strip setup.
Photo: Dodge
You can even adjust the torque output in each gear to avoid spinning the tires on WOT upshifts.
Photo: Dodge
This kind of tweakability used to be available only in the aftermarket.
Photo: Dodge
It’s customized with the demon head, the name of the owner, and the car’s VIN. Drink responsibly.

Li’l guy is everywhere!

I really dig the way they shaped the matte black accent on the Air Grabber hood scoop.

Even the headlights flow cooling air to the engine bay.

The commemorative tumbler set is pretty cool.

These are the standard aluminum wheels. Two-piece carbon-fiber wheels are optional, check them out on the next slide.
