Right now, you are probably thinking if it is the new Bugatti Chiron, or maybe it is the Ferrari LaFerrari or the Porsche 918 Spyder but you would be wrong. The fastest production car to complete the quarter 2017 mile is actually the Dodge Demon.

The Dodge Demon is what you get when you give a Dodge Challenger steroids and send it to the gym. Let’s work through some of the impressive things the Demon can do.

It accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.3 seconds and will pull 1.8G in the process 0-160km/h happens in just 5.1 seconds.

These figures are all unmatched by any production car. 9.65 seconds later, the Demon would have completed the quartermile, again unmatched by any other production car.

To achieve this feat requires serious horsepower and the Demon has just that.

Its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produces a staggering 840hp and 1040nm of torque.

Power is nothing without control, so to help the Demon put its incredible power down onto the tarmac, it is the first production car to come fitted with super sticky drag radial tires.

Dom, if you are still looking for that 10-second car, this it is.
