Why the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Runs on E85 Fuel (Motor Trend)

E85 is billed as an environmentally friendly alternative to gas, so what's it doing powering a fuel-guzzling 1010-hp drag racer?

Hot rodders, drag racers, and tuners have been using E85 as an alternative to race fuel and pump gas for as long as the fuel has been readily available. The new Demon 170 instead uses E85, a blend of gasoline and ethanol, to make 1,025 hp and 945 lb-ft of torque. Dodge required 100-octane race gas (and a special ECU) to unlock the full output of the 840-hp 2018 Challenger SRT Demon. The higher a fuel's octane rating, the greater its resistance to knock and the more power an engine might make. All that pressure—and the heat that comes with it—makes the engine more prone to the early and explosive ignition that causes pressure and temperature to spike beyond the normal extremes an engine tolerates. To make that much power, Dodge's new street-legal drag racer crams buckets of fuel and air into each cylinder, squeezes hard, then strikes the match.
