Fans love the connection, but they are waiting to see what else Dodge has up its sleeve for the rear-drive, drag strip loving Challenger.
Keep in mind that the Demon isn’t a completely new standalone model. It will be based on the Challenger, the very familiar car. However, the Demon could be different from anything we have seen so far.
In 2017, the Charger and Challenger Hellcats look seemingly out of nowhere when it brought supercar like horses to the masses. The 707 HP Hellcat is a benchmark that still hasn’t been topped by Ford or Chevy, but with the presence of the 640HP Camaro ZL1 and the Mustang Shelby GT500 coming, the racing and street performance division is trying to widen the gap even more than before.
Now, the Hellcat will remain popular, but the Dodge/SRT lineup will have a Horsepower champ with the new Demon.
Meanwhile, thanks to Vin Diesel, we might have already gotten a good look at the new Demon. After shooting for the upcoming Fast and Furious sequel, Diesel posted a speech which he gave to the cast and crew in front of two heavily modified Challengers.
Compared to the spy photos and Dodge teases, those cars could be the Demons, flare-fendered with huge hood scoops.
Stay tuned for more updates on the 2018 Dodge Demon!
