The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the most powerful street legal production car ever made, and with great power comes great responsibility—and pretty high premiums, too.

Fortunately, today Hagerty announced official insurance policies that are specifically tailored to give Demon owners specialized insurance coverage for their high-performance vehicle when it arrives in dealerships this fall.

“We are living in the golden age of automotive performance, and the Demon is the latest example that speaks directly to the hearts of enthusiasts,” said Hagerty CEO McKeel Hagerty. “The insurance industry had a hand in ending the first great muscle car era, and we’re here to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself.”

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is both the first-ever production car to do a front-wheel lift and the world’s fastest quarter-mile production car with an elapsed time of 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. And at 1.8 g, the Demon also registers the highest g-force ever recorded at launch in a production car.

“The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon isn’t just the industry’s first and only purpose built street-legal production drag car, it is also the world’s first drag car that you actually want to drive on the street,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge’s Head of Passenger Car Brands. “We didn’t build the Demon to be a halo car that never sees the light of day—we want to make sure that Demon owners have access to the insurance they need to get these cars out on the street, for all the Dodge//SRT enthusiasts to see and appreciate their performance.”

The coverage that Hagerty is offering for the Demon is the same Guaranteed Value policy that the insurance company provides to all vehicles that qualify for their program, which establishes the vehicle’s value at the time the policy is issued, eliminating the need to renegotiate value should the vehicle experience a total covered loss. Demon owners who want more information can call a dedicated hotline at (844) 840-8733, or go online to www.hagerty.com and click the “Quote Now” tab.

Hagerty was named as the official insurance provider of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon back in April.
