4. Torque Reserve Launch System

Unique to the new Demon is the Torque Reserve Launch System, which spins up the supercharger for maximum boost when the light turns green. When activated, the computer cuts fuel to certain cylinders, closes the blower bypass valve, and increases the RPM. This allows the motor to make more boost instantly when you mash the pedal, without over stressing the brakes and transmission, trying to hold the full power and torque of the motor.

No demon has ever had a kind heart, and this Demon is no different. The evil heart of this beast is a Supercharged 6.2-liter V8 Hemi Demon engine. The Demon engine develops 840 horsepower and 770 pound-feet of torque. Yes, Demons are evil, but this one from Dodge is fully under your control, if you can handle the payments.
