Bill Goldberg has made muscle-car history with his new 1-of-1 Dodge Demon 170.
Despite welcoming a new era and moving to electrification with its Dodge Charger EV, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 has its most groundbreaking performance ever.
It sees the historic muscle-car manufacturer sending off the outgoing generation of Dodge SRT muscle cars with a proverbial bang.

It boasts 1,025 horsepower from its supercharged engine – and is renowned for being flipped for supercar money.
In fact, the Dodge Demon 170 shattered records with its acceleration ability.
And, of course, former NFL athlete and WWE Hall of Fame Inductee, and wonder of Goldberg’s Garage YouTube channel, Goldberg managed to get his hands on one.
“It’s the King Kong of muscle cars,” Goldberg said, “It’s really, really b*tching.”
With its legendary nameplate, the Dodge Demon 170 was added to his enviable muscle-cars collection.
This fleet includes the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, which he was taking for service when the surprise delivery of the Dodge Demon 170 happened.
His surprise ride home was finished in the special Green Machine paint color – the only one of its kind in this finish.
The option was given to just 20-30 VIPs and Goldberg took them up on their offer.
It boasts a 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) of under two seconds, plus its quarter-mile time clocks in sub-9 seconds.
In fact, the Dodge Demon 170 is faster than anything else, including the Rimac Nevera.
“We’ve been told by Dodge that they’ve scrapped the ‘hemi’ program [hemispherical engine] and they’re never going to deal with V8s again,” Goldberg said.
“That’s the only reason why I bought this car.
“I don’t care what you put up against this car you’re going to go home running and screaming like a little girl.
“It’s just unbelievable that you can get a 25 horsepower 9-second mile and have a warranty.”
And on Dodge moving to all-electric?
“God help us all,” he concludes.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
