Dodge Challenger Demon vs Toyota Prius With Hellcat Engine Drag Race

Built by American Racing Headers (ARH), the PriuSRT8 keeps the Prius’s basic shell intact but replaces everything else with hardware that can support a 800whp V-8 engine. It has a custom ladder frame, a four-link rear suspension, a nine-inch rear axle, a carbon-fiber driveshaft, a six-speed Tremec manual transmission, and a full roll cage.

Standard Demons come with a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that cranks out 808 hp, but owners can increase that to 840 hp with the Demon Crate package. So equipped, Dodge claims that the Demon will demolish the quarter-mile in 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. Weight-saving measures have been taken wherever possible, and even passenger seats are optional. The Demon is a rare piece: the U.S. will only get 3000 units.

Paint it white and slap a lyft sticker on it

This is just hilarious. Something about watching a Prius haul so much ass is just making me laugh my ass off.

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about

A lesson in the power-to-weight ratio equation 👍

Take off the Prius shell, strap a bath tub to it, do the race again and title it " Dodge Challenger Demon crushed by a bath tub With hellcat engine " youd have way more views

Imagine dropping $100k on a Dodge Demon only to get gapped by a Prius.

Hope Chrysler is watching this and seeing the simple fact that their checker cab size Demon needs to have its motor put in the Dart !
Then you'll have a fast car !

Bummer that they did not show the 1/4 mile times. I would like to know what each of them got.

Put a big ass muscle car engine in a compact economy car and that thing will be bus lengths ahead of the muscle car.

Way to go little Prius!!!
Boy do I love sleepers...

[GaylordBuzzard]

You gotta have a great sense of humor to build something like that. Congratulations!

The Prius had all the engine and no downforce. Imagine if it went in a more straight line.

The announcers don’t have a clue lol the Prius is hemi swapped🙍‍♂️

Many many years ago back in college, I put a 327 small block in a Chevy Monza. But it would only do 12 second plus quarter miles. 9.65 seconds in a street legal vehicle is very impressive.

[vaugr]

Would love to know what the gas milage is now, probly much better that demon

[MrDrew]

Wow who would have guessed when you have 2 cars with the same engine the lighter car would win. I'm so impressed.

[benherrstudios]

This is something you could never recover from

[ohboy]

Pretty quick but I noticed two things. One, the hellcat let up as soon as the Prius got ahead. Not that this made a difference because that heavy car can’t compete against a car that weighs that much less. Two, what were the times in this 1/8 mile run?

[grizzly]

Plot twist: They actually swapped engines before race day

[julianhibbs]

Never thought I would see a Prius with a hell cat engine
