Dodge Demon Concept


Dodge plans to unveil the Dodge Demon Roadster Concept at the Geneva Auto Show in March. The car is supposed to compete with the Pontiac Solstice/ Saturn Sky and Mazda MX-5.

The car has a 172 horsepower 2.4L engine, with 165- pound-feet of torque. A SRT version could also be  a possibility with the 300 hp 4-cyl from the Dodge Caliber SRT-4.

This car does not look like anything original. The back end looks like it was taken right off an Audi TT.  Dodge_demon_side Dodge_demon_int_1

Remy LeBeau:

It looks too much like a Honda S2000 with a different front bumper.

Jeffery England:

Having owned both a 1971, and 1972 Dodge Demon 340's, this is an insult.

Those cars were in a class of there own, even outside the Dusters.

Rebadging cars just because you own the name never works, just ask GM about the nova, malibu, and the gto.

Ford learned a great lesson in the mid 70's with the mustang II fiasco. Now look at them, the mustang is one of the hottest muscle cars out there!

I would have thought mopar did too in the late 70's early 80's with the challenger "mitsubisi crap" 4 cylinder

I say leave the demon name alone, unless your gonna go the way of the cuda, and challenger concept cars, you can't with win this one, even with 4 dollar gas.

Obviously DaMinority:

I agree about the front 1/4 view looking particularly S2000esque. But, the lines from the front of the doors back are actually quite unique. Okay, maybe not unique, maybe more "if a Cobra lost a couple hundred pounds and someone paints lights on the corners".

I think this is a bit closer to the history of the demon then the "Corolla/Nova" or the 1999 Malibu.

You gotta give the guys (and gals) a break once in a while.

I'll take the "mitsubisi crap" 4 cylinder over any 4 cylinder dodge has built in 20 years.

It looks really nice. If the price is right, it could compete with the Mazda Miata/M5 or the Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky.

paul:

I love this car!!! She's very splendid and crackly!!!

Tommy Boy:

Can I get one with a hard-top.

Tommy Boy:

And a SRT4 pushing over 300hp.
