Dodge revealed quite a bit of information in this teaser, namely that the the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s Uconnect system will come equipped with driver-oriented “Performance Pages.” These Performance Pages, which can be accessed through the Demon’s 8.4-inch touchscreen, provide drivers with an in-depth look at the real-time performance statistics of the vehicle.
Among the information provided by the Demon’s Uconnect Performance Pages are the following:
- Real-time graphic display of horsepower and torque with plotted gear changes.
- Real-time display of supercharger coolant temperature.
- Timers for 0-60 mph, 0-100 mph, eight-mile elapsed time, and quarter-mile elapsed time.
- Display of lateral and longitudinal g-forces.
- Gauge readings for engine oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, transmission fluid temperature, intake air temperature, air-fuel ratio, and battery voltage.

Perhaps most intriguing, however, is the Demon’s Custom Mode, which allows for nearly every performance combination available in both Street Mode and Drag Mode.
As a final piece of information, Dodge revealed that the Demon will come equipped with an After-Run Chiller, a first for any production model. This After-Run Chiller keeps the coooling fan and intercooler pump running until the engine reaches a targeted temperature, even after the engine itself is shut down.
The Dodge Demon is going to need a bit to cool down after such a spirited performance
By combining all of these new features together, Dodge has created a way for Demon drivers to perfect their performance. Now all that they need to know is just how powerful the Dodge Demon can be when it is pushed to its limits.
