Dodge has unveiled the world's ultimate muscle car - a road-legal dragster which can pull a fierce wheelie off the line.
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will do 0-30mph in one second, 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 9.65 seconds while doing 140mph.
This power has helped the Dodge enter the Guinness World Records by being the first production car to pull a wheelie off the line under full acceleration.

And despite being quicker than just about any production hypercar ever built, the Dodge Challenger Demon is expected to cost less than £80,000.
When the Demon set its quarter-mile time, the National Hot Rod Association gave Dodge the badge of honour of banning it from drag strips.
The stunning performance is thanks to a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine which develops a staggering 840bhp.
The force from a full-throttle acceleration puts so much weight on the back wheels, that it forces the front off the ground, travelling almost three-feet. G-force is an unprecedented 1.8g.

Tim Kuniskis, head of passenger cars at Dodge, said: 'With Demon, our goal was to build a car th at would tattoo the Dodge logo into the subconscious of the general market, beyond even our loyal enthusiasts.
'To do so, we had to set records that have never been set before, do more than has ever been done before, go beyond even the legendary Hellcat.
'The result: an 840-horsepower, 9-second muscle car unlike anything that has ever come before it.'

There are currently no plans to officially sell the Demon in the UK, but importers are likely to be looking at options to offer it to fans over here.
