Yes please!
It'll be interesting. If it's what I expect, it should destroy any up-and-comers due in the next couple years.
any one thinking AWD?
Challenger SRT Demon.... That makes no sense other than a stretch to use an old name to grab the attention of old people. The Demon small/mid size car, not the boat that is/was the Challenger.
Probably not, i imagine the transfer case takes up a lot of real estate.
I dont know "Demon Hellcat" sounds badass.
Slapping the Demon name on it is better than slapping a Plymouth name on it.
The OG Demon was a compact car, the new one is a bathtub built on the LC platform. It would be better if they put it into a smaller package and saved 700 or 800lb and put it into the same weight category as the Mustang and Camaro. It would be much more noteworthy then. This seems more like a simple rebadge to attract the Baby Boomers.
I don't care for the name either when you say it like that. But I think the people who dislike the name the most would be the one's who grew up with the original car with the Demon nameplate.
I agree when you say it like that it does sound badass.
Theres also a widebody challenger coming out maybe this is it
I wonder how FCA would pull off something with more HP that would likely get worse MPG. Current Hellcats already get gas guzzler tax. I was told that FCA would be smart to include an electric Fiat 500 in the bed of every Ram they sell to help beat emissions and fuel economy fines and penalties.....?
I also heard that FCA buys a lot of "emissions credits" from Tesla
I don't really care about the name so much, it's what the car will be. Not sure but I think it's AWD with over 800 hp. They already have an awd challenger model coming out soon, the GT. The challengers are heavy, but the power to weight is what matters, (unless you're talking about handling, of course).
BTW the Hellcats I've driven have averaged around 25 mpg on 75%/25% highway/city runs.
Yeah kind of disappointing, just going to rebadge something.
Is it for sure going to be a new platform? Then that would be pretty cool.
Yeah imagine a new platform , and how much worse it would destroy the competition than the aging 10 year old platform already does
We had a Demon when I was little, it'll be interesting & I'm anticipating the reveling.
In the article above Kuniskis says it's still a Challenger and they're using the current platform a couple more years. But it's not JUST a rebadge. There is a lot more butt kicking ability coming.
Other than the name, it should not in any way be connected with the old A-body Demon, ie a small economical performance car. It is Hellcat extreme!!
www.ifyouknowyouknow.com. Mini site up. Looks like a new video release every week up to the New York show in April. GIF shows wide body doing a burn out. I'm think RWD with a fat 315 rear. This is probably the ADR that has been promised. Wider, lighter, quicker.
WANT!
Just read a short blurb on it from Motor Trend. Dodge is saying it will be the fastest muscle car in the world. A Hellcat on steroids. Awesome!!!
I love that Kuniskis says the car is being built for a "subculture" LOL!
Ok, roaming the various forums I stumbled on some interesting idea/rumors. It's said that the Demon is not the ADR but in addition to the ADR (American Drag Racer). Rumor is Demon 850 hp and ADR at 981 hp. ADR is basically a Drag Pak Challenger but with a vin and warranty. Very interesting!
Also, it's been said that unlike the launch of the Hellcat, which kept all the specs secret up to launch date, Dodge will be release info regularly up to the launch. Exciting stuff!
Friend of mine working on a project....

Rumor has it, it's in the next Fast and Furious trailer (Widebody Challenger).
Gordy. The plan was to stick a 65 Polaris body on it.... but something about the wheel base made it much more difficult over the A body

That Polara's wheelbase looks shortened(???) Maybe just cuz the glass is missing it throws me off.
is this car in Metamora?
I just want my damn hellcat Jeep :(::
BODUKE you are going to have to up your game! :) Demon killer?
Sorry, had to throw that in there.
