The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 has just made its debut, and it's turning heads with its impressive performance stats. With a whopping 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque, this muscle car is sure to get hearts racing.

Under the hood, the Demon 170 boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, which is the same powerplant that was found in the previous generation Demon. However, Dodge has made some significant upgrades to the engine to achieve this new level of performance. The most notable change is the larger supercharger, which has been upgraded from 2.7 liters to 3.0 liters. This allows for more boost pressure, resulting in the increased horsepower and torque figures.

But it's not just the engine that sets the Demon 170 apart from its competitors. Dodge has also made some changes to the car's suspension and braking systems to handle all that power. The Demon 170 features adjustable Bilstein dampers, which allow drivers to fine-tune the suspension for maximum performance. The brakes have also been upgraded, with massive six-piston Brembo calipers up front and four-piston calipers in the rear.

Of course, the Demon 170 is not just about raw performance numbers. Dodge has also included a host of features to make this car more enjoyable to drive. For starters, there's the new Performance Pages Plus system, which provides real-time performance data and allows drivers to customize various settings, such as suspension stiffness and shift points. There's also a new Launch Control system, which helps drivers get off the line quickly and smoothly.

On the outside, the Demon 170 looks just as menacing as its name suggests. The car features a unique front fascia with an aggressive grille and large air intakes to help cool the engine. There's also a massive hood scoop, which is necessary to feed air to the supercharger. The car sits on massive 18-inch wheels wrapped in sticky drag radials, and there's even an option for lightweight carbon fiber wheels.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
