Dodge Demon Challenger

[FY1 Charger]

Just found this online
http://www.dodge.com/en/ifyouknowyouknow/

Kinda curious to see what the car is about, doesn't get unveiled until April though for the New York Auto show

[Bad B-rad]

Is this a whole new car or a new Challenger model?
Cool video, it worked. I want to know more!

[FY1 Charger]

I think it's a special edition or something along those lines. I believe it will be based off of the current challenger. If I had to bet money I would say that it is an awd hellcat.

[JB400]

Kinda shocking that they're bringing back the Demon nameplate considering why the first one was discontinued.

[Finn]

Consider my popcorn popped. 

[Bad B-rad]

Why was the old Dodge Demon discontinued?
I always just thought because it was basically an uglier Plymouth Duster.(IMO)

[Fitz73Chrgr]

I'm glad the Demon name isn't being revived on the current Dart.

That being said, I'll still never buy a FCA product.  New Fords all day.

[JB400]

Demon was discontinued because a bunch of religious people complained about the nameplate and logo.

Wow,what a world.
Those same people probably didn't like the Dart swinger.
They were also the same people  protesting KISS music! (Knights In Satins Service) LOL!!!!!!!

Thought I read it might be a widebody Hellcat, allowing larger tires.

I doubt very much it will be AWD, seeing as they can't find a way of making the SRT Grand Cherokee hold together with the Hellcat motor. Although to be honest, my girlfriends SRT Jeep leaps off the line as it is. Can't imagine another couple hundred horsepower added to the mix!

rumors of 850hp, wide-body & NO AWD

[Bad B-rad]

It is going to need the wide body with larger tires to get all that power to the ground.850hp SWEET
I still can't afford it.

The wheat must be separated from the chaff somehow.

I still can't afford it.

Same here, I'll be watching this show from the cheap seats.

I was a the dealership a week ago to order mud/slush mats for my new Charger R/T and I was asking about ordering a Hellcat or SRT8 hood for my car,and wanted to see each in person before I placed the order. So  the parts guy and I go out to the lot, and guess what,NO SRT Chargers,4 Hellcats, but no SRT's. So we go back in and I get talking to a salesman,to see if they have any SRT's coming in in next few days,he told me they have a few more Hellcats coming in but no SRT's on order. He goes on to tell me how they are selling Hellcat Challengers like CRAZY. Can't even keep them in stock. He said people are even leasing them,and trading in brand new cars and loosing thousands to get a Hellcat,that it is like the best investment car around because of how it will hold its value,that you can own it for 3 or 4 years and then sell it and it will still be in the $60k's value wise.
If they are selling so may Hellcats. Then they will have a TON of pissed off people if the DEMON is got more power,because they will no longer have the fastest toy on the block. just my opinion. I would be pissed if I just plunked down my hard earned cash for a Hellcat and now they have a Demon with bigger tires and over 100 more stock HP!(If that is what the Demon is)
Hell I'am  mad that for another grand or so I could have had a Scat pack(6.4Hemi) Charger vs the off the lot new R/T my wife "had to have."

If "those people" are losing a ton of $ in their trade ins just to get a Hellcat, then theyre probably dumb enough to do it again to get a Demon.

I generally have no sympathy for people who buy cars as an "investment".

Here are some spy pics floating around the web.





Everything I can find says 850 hp and a 200lb weight reduction.  (Now 4200lbs)

[6bblgt]

the two silver cars are from "FAST & FURIOUS 8"

[Mike DC]

That's funny.  4200 lbs is the lightweight version.  

Maybe they finally ditched the iron engine block.  They've been stubbornly insisting that it was necessary up to now.  

[JB400]

From their latest release, it said they installed lighter weight wheels, seats, and the chassis a little bit to get to the 200 lb. reduction

Yup, it's still ridiculously heavy, no doubt.

The HP is cool and all, but it still weighs the same as one of these.

That is why, in the highly populated Roman Catholic country of Mexico, it wasn't even allowed to be sold at all let alone be discontinued...

I take it they did not take too kindly to the Lamborghini Diablo (Devil!) either then!
