It was last March that Dodge unveiled the most exclusive and demonic of Challenger their SRT Demon 170, a car that pushes the limits of indecency in terms of power thanks to its 1,025 horsepower V8 engine. We knew from its presentation that this highly exclusive vehicle, which will be worth a small fortune in a few years, would not be accessible to many buyers, especially since only 3,300 copies will be produced, including 300 for Canada.
Fame always helps in this kind of occasion! Indeed, we learn that Jay Leno managed to get one. The famous entertainer recently paid a visit to the Woodward Dream Cruise, a car event that takes place in the suburbs of Detroit, to participate in the event and also to pick up a car and by any.
He became the first customer to take delivery of a special “Last Call” edition of the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. Mr. Leno said he ordered his 1,025-hp Demon last March when the car was officially unveiled in Las Vegas. The Special Edition, which marks the Challenger’s final year of production as an internal combustion vehicle, will join Jay Leno’s extensive collection of vehicles of all genres; she will, in fact, be her 4e car that displays a power in the four figures according to a confidence of Mr. Leno at Detroit News. “I’m a big Dodge fan,” he said. “In my opinion, this is a superb American road car. »
Jay Leno said he’d rather be at the Dream Cruise this month than attend the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. “In California, they eat kale,” he mentioned. “It’s good to be in Detroit where they eat real food. I enjoy Pebble Beach, but it costs $5,000 a day. The Dream Cruise is free and it’s mostly a celebration of the burger and the hot dog.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 retails for a base price of $130,890, excluding freight and delivery charges. There is no doubt that it is an investment, much more than an expense.
