This includes a line-lock, which brakes just the front wheels to make it easier to warm up the tires with a burnout, and a launch control system programmed to reduce wheel hop. Meanwhile, the Demon\u2019s transmission brake, Drag Mode calibration and optional race gas compatible engine control unit were retired with it to help keep the 3,300 examples of it that were built a little extra special.\u00a0\u00a0Dodge is offering the Hellcat Redeye in normal and widebody versions, both with a claimed top speed of 203 mph. The fatter tires on the widebody help deliver a 10.8-second quarter-mile time, while the standard version trails it at a still-blistering 11.1 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-241201 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/tobeyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1530198777198-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tobeyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1530198777198-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tobeyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1530198777198-539x303.jpg 539w, https:\/\/tobeyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1530198777198.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Unlike the Demon, the Hellcat won\u2019t be offered from the factory with just one seat, but a rear seat and belt delete package is available to turn it into a two-passenger vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Pricing for the Hellcat Redeye will be announced closer to its on sale date this fall, but should land somewhere between the 2018 Hellcat\u2019s $65,995 and Demon\u2019s $84,995.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The limited edition\u00a0Dodge Demon may be dead, but its spirit will live on in the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.
