Knock, Knock, Who’s There? Demon, The Most Insane Dodge Challenger Ever

- in Cars

Just when you thought the Dodge lineup couldn’t get any more aggressive, they announced a new version of the Challenger muscle car named Demon, that will be even more extreme than the vaunted Hellcat.

Dodge says that it will be the “new ultimate performance halo” vehicle of the lineup – even more impressive than the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat, or the 645-horsepower Viper ACR.
“Most cars attempt to be everything to everybody. Then there are the rare few that revel in a single objective, rendering them totally irresistible to a subculture. The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed, and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation,” explained Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis.

Aside from the new logo, which is much more sinister-looking than the original’s devilish cartoon, pretty much zero details about the new Demon have been revealed so far, but will be teased out over the coming weeks in a series of videos posted to YouTube. Dodge says to keep an eye out for hidden clues, so we did.


The first depicts an animated, robotic Hellcat in a cage protected by action movie government types. In one shot, the front of the actual car is reflected in the sunglasses of one of the agents, and suggests that it may have two of the ram air intakes that the current Challenger Hellcat has built into the center of only its left headlight.

Meanwhile, a GIF on the Demon’s website from a future video shows a tire that’s clearly wider than the current Hellcat’s doing a burnout inside flared fenders. This would mesh with recent spy photos of several widebody Challenger prototypes spotted on public roads.

Based on previous spy shots, we’re led to believe that it could be the highly anticipated all-wheel-drive Challenger Hellcat. But with the new name and badging, it could be something new entirely.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be on display when doors open to the New York Auto Show on April 12, 2017.
Hellcat owners beware.
