With Dodge’s legendary V8-powered muscle cars going out of production at year-end, engineers wanted the last non-electric Dodge Challenger to make a statement.

Sort of a very fast, very loud, statement: A final salute to the fuel-burning era. Buyers just might want to attach a parachute. The Demon 170 will be able to go from zero to 60 miles an hour in just under 1.7 seconds under ideal circumstances, according to Dodge. A possible add-on is a parachute mounting system — parachute not included — to aid in drag-strip stops. It will be sold separately under Dodge’s Direct Connection-brand, and is designed to bolt onto the back of the car.

Prices for the Demon 170 will start at $96,666, not including an expected gas guzzler tax that could be as much as $7,700. Dodge dealers are also selling a convertible version of the Challenger during this, its last model year. Dodge had originally expected to just modify the Dodge Challenger Demon engine, which is capable of producing up to 840 horsepower.

Always wanted a car like this. BMW were so against electric era. See them now..

Well, at least they’re going out with a bang. Despite having to sign a notarized statement - I can guarantee you that someone is going to buy it convinced that they can drive it every day.

1.6 seconds 0-60. Pretty badass car.
