Dodge CEO kills V8 muscle cars, unveils last 1,025 hp Challenger.

Dodge has unveiled its most powerful muscle car ever, the Challenger SRT Demon 170, which is also the last V8-powered car the brand will ever make. Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis says the company is committed to the transition to electric vehicles, with a production version of the electric Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept launching in 2024. While Dodge will still sell gasoline-fueled models, its muscle cars will be replaced by electric models. However, Kuniskis has hinted that not all of Dodge's future cars will be electric, with the possibility of an internal combustion engine in the Charger Daytona SRT's platform.
