iat Chrysler Automobiles said today it plans to bring back the Dodge Demon, a muscle car from the 1970s, with an engine that kicks out even more horsepower than the Charger and Challenger Hellcat models.

The automaker said it will reveal the Dodge Challenger Demon SRT at the New York International Auto Show.

FCA's decision to launch an ultra-powerful Demon comes at a time when most automakers are talking about self-driving cars and electric cars and illustrates how the Auburn Hills automaker, especially with its Dodge brand, is not afraid to sell screaming power.

"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," said Tim Kuniskis, FCA's head of passenger car brands. "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."

THANKS DODGE

So are they adding even more power to a chassis that already can't handle the current power?

Dodge definitely needs this more than a midsize sedan

[Soup DeVille]

So who sat in the board room and said "you know, I don't think 700 HP is enough?"

[GoCougs]

I'm gonna guess this is some sort of super limited edition COPO-type vehicle and maybe not even street legal, akin to the recent drag-prepped versions of the Camaro and Mustang.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I want a version that weighs 2200#

Don't worry, they'll temper the extra power by making it another 800 lbs heavier.

I've witnessed this exact thing happen.  And it was with Chrysler too

It's like FCA has just accepted that they can't compete with GM, Ford, Honda/Toyota in the grind of actually making good all around cars and are just going to dump a Hellcat, and now Demon, powered bomb in each of their vehicles.

To be fair, this has been the Mopar tactic since the late '60s.

[MrH]

Also, it's a very profitable tactic.  Can't say I blame them

Fucking unthusiasts here

Is it? LX platform sales have been in freefall and Hellcats aren't exactly volume movers...

Fucking unthusiasts here

It's hard for me to get excited about cars I will never buy *cue Camry jokes*

Well, you've already got this Hellcat thing, which has ridiculous amounts of power and is too expensive for me ( and I couldn't even buy one if I had the money), so what is this Demon supposed to do for me?

Make you so impressed with Dodge that you go out and buy a Dodge Dart...?

I want an AWD Turbo Dart with gravel spec suspension and skid plates.

[SJ_GTI]

It worked!

Square 18x11 wheel setup with drag radials on each wheel... you know for when you waste the first set on your first burnout

[12,000 RPM]

Free burial plot, coffin and wake included

I don't care what happens to my corpse. How about a get-out-of-jail-free card?

I can build that for you. I need about $20,000 to start.

With the demon logo molded right into the tire too.

Those will be cheap.

What if I find a wrecked Cherokee and a Dart with a blown engine?

I don't care. I still need $20,000 to build my shop

There's a game going on to guess what the cryptic license plate means. My guess is $2576 for a new set of tires every 35 miles.

Financing deal. Gonna cost 92K, which is way too much for a Dodge as the Viper has demonstrated.
