The madness that is the 2018 Dodge Challenger Demon has been priced. It will set you back $86,090 - includes $1,700 gas guzzler tax and $1,095 destination charge. That will get you 808 horsepower and 717 pound-feet of torque from the 6.2L supercharged V8. If you want the full monty - 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque, you'll need the optional Demon Crate which will only set you back a $1.00. (FCA says the Demon Crate's true is $6,140). Other $1.00 options include,
- Cloth rear seat
- Leather rear seat
- Front passenger cloth seat
- Demon trunk carpet kit
There are other options available for the Demon that will push the pricetag up,
- Red Seat Belts - $195
