2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and 1970 Dodge Charger R/T

Two American-muscle bookends — a 1970 Charger R/T 440 and the 840-hp Demon, the only road car NHRA banned for being too fast.

Set #75893 2019 485 pieces 6-stud Retired

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the only production car NHRA has banned from competition for being too quick — 9.65 seconds in the quarter-mile, 21st-Century supercharged Hemi power, factory drag-strip suspension. The 1970 Charger R/T was Dodge’s answer to the Pontiac GTO and Chevy Chevelle SS in the muscle-car wars: 440 cubic inches, 375 hp, blockwork-thick door pillars. This dual set pairs them — 48 years apart, same brand, same philosophy.

Two flavours of Mopar muscle, separated by 48 years and two very different definitions of fast. The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T is the classic American big-block: a 426 Hemi, a long-bonnet silhouette, and a quarter-mile attitude. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is its modern descendant — a factory-warrantied drag car with a 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi, transbrake, and a 9-second quarter-mile time that got it banned from NHRA competition for being too fast for stock. Same Hemi blood, same drag-strip purpose, two generations of Detroit's loudest answer to the question 'how fast?'

NHRA-BANNED

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

840-hp drag-strip muscle

The Demon’s 6.2-litre supercharged Hemi V8 produces 840 hp on 100-octane race fuel — with the supplied “Demon Crate” trunk-kit unlocked. Factory drag-strip features include skinnier front tyres, a pre-conditioning chiller for the supercharger air, and a transmission-brake feature for line locks.

NHRA banned the Demon from sanctioned competition without a roll-cage on the basis that any naturally-quicker-than-9.99-second car requires the cage. Approximately 3,300 cars were built across 2018 only.

CLASSIC MUSCLE

1970 Dodge Charger R/T

440 cubic-inch big-block

The R/T (“Road/Track”) was the performance trim of the 1968–70 second-generation Charger. The 440 Magnum V8 was the most-popular engine choice; a 426 Hemi was optional. Output ranged from 375 hp factory (440) to 425 hp (426 Hemi).

Dodge built about 10,300 R/T-trim Chargers in 1970, including 112 with the 426 Hemi. The car’s pop-culture afterlife — anchored by the Dukes of Hazzard’s General Lee — has made it one of the most-replicated American muscle silhouettes.

Engine

Body
B-body coupe (1970 only — second generation)

Display ideas

  • Park them in two rows on the same shelf — the chassis-width mismatch between Charger and Demon is the visual story.
  • Pair with 76912 (Dom’s Charger) and 76904 (Top Fuel + Challenger T/A) for a four-set Mopar shelf.

The build

Two builds, same brand DNA

Both cars use the 8-stud Speed Champions chassis (76895 and 75893 were among the first sets in the new wider format). The 1970 Charger’s Coke-bottle hip line and hidden-headlight grille translate well at scale; the Demon’s functional bonnet scoop is a printed element.

The Demon’s skinny-front-tyre, fat-rear-tyre drag-strip stance is captured with a deliberate mismatched wheel set.
