Πέμπτη σήμερα και η Dodge πιστή στο ραντεβού της μας αποκαλύπτει ορισμένες ακόμη λεπτομέρειες του Challenger SRT Demon, το οποίο έχει διαρρεύσει αρκετές φορές. Στο 7ο teaser video, η Dodge μας δείχνει την αναβαθμισμένη ανάρτηση του Demon, ενώ στο τέλος του video μας δείχνει το εξής: “13.5=575@500”.
Τι σημαίνουν αυτά τα νούμερα; Σύμφωνα με την Dodge, το Challenger SRT Demon διαθέτει λειτουργία Drag, με την παραπάνω “εξίσωση” να προέρχεται από τον Τρίτο Νόμο του Νεύτωνα. Όπως ενδεχομένως να θυμάσαι από τα σχολικά σου χρόνια, ο Τρίτος Νόμος του Νεύτωνα λέει: “Οι δυνάμεις που εξασκούνται από την αλληλεπίδραση δύο σωμάτων (1 και 2) είναι πάντα ίσες κατά το μέτρο και αντίθετες κατά τη φορά“. Η Dodge υπόσχεται πως έχει ρυθμίσει με τέτοιον τρόπο την ανάρτηση προκειμένου να χαρίζει γρήγορη επιτάχυνση αλλά και καλή πλευρική σταθερότητα. Όπως αναφέρει η Dodge στο δελτίο τύπου:
Hardware:
- 35 percent lower rate front springs/28 percent lower rate rear springs
- 75 percent lower rate hollow front sway bar/44 percent lower rate rear sway bar
- Drag-tuned Bilstein Adaptive Damping Shocks
Software:
- Rear = F/F and Front = F/S
- F/F – F/S maintained @ wide open throttle (WOT)
- F/F – F/F < WOT
- Traction control disabled/ESC maintained
Result: 13.5=575@500

February 23, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat’s supercharged HEMI® produces all the power required to run quicker and faster quarter-mile ETs than its balanced suspension and tuning enable. This is because, as extreme as the Challenger SRT Hellcat is, it was always intended to strike that perfect balance between drag strip brute force, road course competence and street car civility. Anyone who has driven a Hellcat will attest that it has an incredible “personality bandwidth,” depending on how a driver configures the power level, suspension, transmission, traction and stability controls. It truly is the ultimate “do everything” muscle car.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, however, has a different mission. Designed to be highly competent in all drive modes and configurations, the SRT Demon is made to absolutely dominate in Drag Mode. In the coming weeks, Dodge will share more of the Drag Mode attributes. But this week, the focus is on how Drag Mode, in combination with the SRT Demon’s all-new suspension, maximizes weight transfer, traction and control … because burnouts are fun, but they don’t win races.
The “old school” solution was pretty simple – get the quickest reacting springs upfront, the softest rebound front shocks that wouldn’t restrict the springs’ reaction, remove any restrictions (sway bar) and increase the compression of the rear shocks. This combination resulted in extremely efficient weight transfer, but provided minimal lateral stability in the event that directional corrections were required.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon combines the best of both mechanical and electronic tuning to deliver maximum launch force while still maintaining precision directional control. The SRT Demon is the first-ever factory production car with mechanical/electronic drag-race-specific suspension tuning.
The “Third Law” teaser video, released February 23, helps illustrate the benefit of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s new Drag Mode mechanical/electronic suspension tuning.
Hardware:
35 percent lower rate front springs/28 percent lower rate rear springs

Drag-tuned Bilstein Adaptive Damping Shocks
Software:
