The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 can go from zero to 60 mph in just 1.66 seconds, making it the automaker&#8217;s quickest production vehicle, even faster than the super electric vehicles made by Lucid and Tesla. The car will be the last of its kind, as gas-powered versions of the Challenger, Charger, and Chrysler 300 sedan will cease production at the end of 2023 due to new regulations and a shift to electric vehicles, according to Stellantis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the end of an era, for sure,&#8221; said Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge brand on Monday. &#8220;Electric products, they&#8217;re very fast. Muscle cars, one of the primary ingredients is to be a fast accelerating car. So I&#8217;ve automatically got the power. Now, I&#8217;ve just got to figure out ways to bring all the other elements in of the excitement of the driving experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\">\n                    <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">The 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 is on display during an event to unveil the car Monday, March 20, 2023, in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><div class=\"Figure-credit\" itemprop=\"author\">John Locher\/AP<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Challenger Demon follows a move by Dodge to push special edition &#8220;Last Call&#8221; gas-powered muscle cars, and is reminiscent of a car that first went on sale in 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Stellantis will produce up to 3,300 Demon 170s at a price tag of $96,666, with optional front passenger and back seats costing $1 each.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you look at some of the cars that we&#8217;ve had in our past, it&#8217;s pretty easy to tell which ones people want to collect,&#8221; Kuniskis said. &#8220;A lot of times it&#8217;s the lower [sales] volume, extreme examples, whether its extreme looks or extreme performance.
