Dodge is talking up a special auction that it has coming up this month in cooperating with Barrett-Jackson. The auction is a two-car package that will see one lucky buyer walking away with two last of their kind special sports cars. One of the rides is the very last of the limited production 2018 Challenger SRT Demon muscle cars.
Dodge is rather notorious for canceling the Viper and then reviving it. Such is the case again with a new report claiming that the Viper will return as a 2021 model. The catch for fans of the car is that the V10 muscle the Viper has been known for since its introduction will be no more.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is warning owners of 4.8 million vehicles in the US not to use cruise control, after discovering a flaw that could leave drivers unable to deactivate it. A recall is underway for all of the vehicles, which span FCA's Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, and Ram lines, and include sedans, SUVs, and pickups.
You might have thought that Dodge's ridiculously powerful Challenger SRT Hellcat had already been turned up to eleven on the "Maximum Crazy" scale, but the automaker is promising even more excess for its new Hellcat. The 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat is expected to stick with the supercharged engine that has made the car such a ridiculous rocket ship in a straight line, but with some retro-inspired design changes.
If your dream garage includes two modern classics with 1,485 horsepower between them, then Dodge has the package deal for you. The last 2017 Dodge Viper ever built and the final 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon have been bundled together for a charity auction, though the kicker is that you can only buy them together.
Dodge has a very cool looking new appearance package that makes the Durango GT SUV even better looking. The package is the Dodge Durango GT Rallye Appearance Package that adds a performance hood, performance front fascia and LED fog lamps. The entire appearance package is SRT-inspired.
Dodge is showing off the performance 3-row SUVs at the Chicago Auto Show with details on the 2018 Durango R/T and SRT models. Both models will be available with new factory-custom stripes in five colors. Buyers will also be able to option the SUVs with performance exhaust systems for improved flow and better exhaust note.
Remember Gerry Wood Dodge? This is the dealer that purchased 99% of the Viper production run back in 2017. The cool thing about that was that by purchasing almost every 2017 Viper, the dealership was able to order them in some rare color combinations to ensure that drivers didn’t have to worry about a well to do neighbor having the same car.
Lock up your children, bolt your doors: there's a new Demon in town, and it's packing 840 horsepower and an appetite for tires. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was always going to be polarizing, something we could predict even before the American automaker revealed its road-legal drag racer earlier in the year. Now, it's finally shipping to dealers.
Mopar has ripped out the heart of a Hellcat, and not since the climax of Se7en have we been so excited about what's in a box. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles tuning division has brought along its new Hellcrate to SEMA 2017 this week, tempting the annual performance and mods show with the promise of 707 horsepower ripe for some retrofit action.
Automakers often fall into the same trap when it comes to their cars and trucks. They introduce something at a good price, consumers respond well, and sales grow. Eventually the manufacturer thinks a premium will be supported by the market, prices increase, and as time goes by shoppers gravitate towards the competition in part because of lower prices. GM is seeing the writing on the wall and according to GM product chief Mark Reuss Chevy is ready to reassess its pricing on the Camaro.
I’m sorry, you’re called what? The Demon? The demon of what, you might also ask? It’s the torpedo of drag racers, born out an addiction to speed in a straight line, and its singular mission is to obliterate the competition on any drag strip. The specs say that the 840 HP V8 can propel this particular 4,275-pound missile from 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds, and hammer out the quarter mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. This is the world’s fastest production car, and it’s wearing an American badge.
