Dodge Demon Concept

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dodge Demon is a concept car manufactured by DaimlerChrysler and branded under its Dodge division. The Demon made its' premiere at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. The Demon is being considered for production considering the fact that if produced, it can take on competitors including GM's Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky, as well as Ford Motor Company's Mazda Miata. The Demon would have a base price in the neighborhood of $15,000, making it thousands of dollars less expensive than its competitors.

Engine and Design

The Demon has a 2.4L DOHC gasoline I4 engine with normal aspiration. This engine is said to put out around 173 horsepower (72 horsepower per liter) and 166 Ft.-Lbs. of torque. This is connected to a traditional 6-speed manual transmission and runs on gasoline. The exterior design of the Demon shares many styling elements with the Dodge Viper. The interior of the roadster is not very out of the ordinary, giving it a possibly production ready status, unlike many other concept cars.
