How The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Hits 60 MPH In 2.3 sec. Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the world s fastest quarter mile production car. But how does it do that? How does it hit 1.8 g s of acceleration when powered by only the rear wheels? Rear wheel drive!? Physics tells us that the maximum force a wheel can apply to the ground is equal to the normal force acting on the tire multiplied by the frictional coefficient of the tire (F=u*N). So the car needs to be able to transfer all the weight to the rear tires, and have super stick tires. This video explains how the vehicle does just that! *IMPORTANT CORRECTION!* The 2.3 second 0-60 time is indeed from 0 mph, not after 1 ft of rollout. This is faster than the Tesla P100D to 30 mph (incorrectly stated in video). My apologies for the confusion. When I asked Dodge PR directly about the car, they told me this: ""The Demon 0-30, 0-60 and 0-100 times do NOT include the 1 ft of roll out." I interpreted this as the times did not include the time for 1 foot of rollout, however from Detroit News: "Roll-outs aren’t a fair way to do zero-60, honestly. A real zero-60 is from a dead stop. But we included (a roll-out) anyway because we knew that question would come up,” said Kuniskis in the Big Apple. “You include roll-outs in our times and it’s 2.1 seconds.” From The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Press Release: "- 840 horsepower and 770 pounds-feet of torque from supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Demon V-8 engine makes Dodge Challenger SRT Demon the most-powerful muscle car ever - Highest horsepower V-8 production car engine ever produced - First-ever front-wheel lift in production car (2.92 feet) as certified by Guinness World Records - World’s fastest quarter-mile production car with an elapsed time (ET) of 9.65 seconds and 140 miles per hour (mph) as certified by National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) - Challenger SRT Demon is too fast for the drag strip – officially banned by NHRA - World’s fastest 0-60 production car: 2.3 seconds - 0-30 miles per hour: 1.0 second - Highest g-force acceleration of any production car: 1.8 g - Air-Grabber™ induction system includes the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car - Significant upgrades to create the Demon engine include: - Larger 2.7-liter per rev supercharger; increased boost pressure to 14.5 psi - Higher rpm limit of 6,500 - First-ever factory-production car with innovative SRT Power Chiller™ liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system - First factory-production car with After-Run Chiller that keeps cooling the supercharger/charge air cooler after the engine is shut off - First-ever, factory-production car designed to run on 100+ high-octane unleaded fuel or 91 octane on demand - First-ever, factory-production car with TransBrake for more powerful and quicker launches - First-ever, factory-production drag car with Torque Reserve, to deliver increased levels of power and torque at launch - First-ever, factory-production car with front passenger seat delete - Exclusive, serialized Demon Crate offers components that fully unleash the car’s potential at the drag strip - Challenger SRT Demon is covered by FCA US LLC factory warranty, including three-year/36,000-mile limited vehicle warranty and five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain coverage - Production of limited-edition single model year (3,000 United States/300 Canada) Challenger SRT Demon begins later this summer; deliveries to Dodge//SRT dealers to begin this fall - All customers who buy the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon receive one full-day session at Bob Bondurant School of High-performance Driving."
