Earlier this year, Fiat Chrysler announced the resurrection of the Dodge Demon and that it is set to enter the market as the next Hellcat. It was mentioned that updates will be coming on a weekly schedule and this time, reports suggest that the Dodge SRT Demon will arrive in a lighter body than the outgoing Hellcat.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: A Body Made Lighter
According to report, the outgoing Dodge Challenger Hellcat weighs 4,500 pounds. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon however, will make its debut at the 2017 New York Auto Show in a lighter body. It was mentioned that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will weigh 200 pounds less than the outgoing model. Given the fact that the automaker promised for it to be even more powerful than the current Hellcat with 707 horsepower, it only makes sense that it would be lighter than its sibling.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: The Second Teaser
It was reported that the second teaser video for the upcoming Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was released several days ago. Accordingly, the video suggested that changes in the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon include adjustments in the steering, brakes, suspension wheels and certain portions in its interior. Apparently, these changes played a role in reducing the weight of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon: Real Deal For True Enthusiasts
It appears that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will specifically be built only for true enthusiasts rather than for the general market like most of the other models. "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," said Tim Kuniskis, head of passenger car brands for FCA North America in a report. Given this fact, those that consider themselves true fans and enthusiasts of the abovementioned brand may consider themselves lucky for being given such special attention by the automaker.
