Default Dodge Demon Concept Car (The New Crossfire???)

Hi Everyone
Just say this on a Calender at the Dodge dealership.

Dodge Demon has some hints from the V-10 Dodge Viper. The concept that has been used has a 2.4 liter, four-cylinder engine that pushes out 172-horsepower. The Demon concept has 19-inch wheels; however the production model will have either 17 or 18-inch wheels.

For the concept, at least, the Demon uses many Chrysler Crossfire (aka 1998 Mercedes SLK) bits, like the short/long-arm front suspension. As mentioned, there's a multilink in back.

This concept is from a few years ago, if I remember correctly. Saw it at the Chicago autoshow. Can't remember if this was the "performance electric" they were showing off or not though. Might have decided to change the powertrain. Can't imagine why they would be using any MB parts though, seeing as their partnership ended a few years ago.

With a172 HP power plant, I doubt it would get much enthusiasm.

I can guarantee electrical problems because it's a Dodge. Would be interesting to test drive for myself though. I'd probably end up just buying a Miata instead.

Looks a lot like a Crossfire, but not much power. Could be lite enough to go pretty well.

I felt that the 'Razor' conect car that never got green-lit is a much better looking car than this, and quirky as well. A pair of razor scooters instead of a spare tire LMAO

Nevermind. It was the Razor that I saw. They are pretty good looking, although I don't understand Dodge's obsession with orange.

Did mean to irritate you, it has some similarities to Xfires. Looks like a degraded, low cost product. I like my xfire pretty much just like it is.

whatever it is that you saw, im willing to bet it was ORANGE, haha

that 3rd one actually looks pretty nice, the first 2 looked pretty awkward

(almost as awkward as the badass razor guy)

You're right on this one RL. The Challenger has always been my favorite.

Yep...this is back from 2007 and never materialized due to the split.
Here's the scoop. 2007 Dodge Demon concept cars

Chrysler still uses some Mercedes components in the Charger/300.

I'm one of those weird, old timer Mopar fanatic. Allpar is a daily web destination for me. My first car was a '69 Charger (440cid) before I even had a license.

Anything new from Chrysler will more than likely be based on a current Fiat. The auto buzz word going around now is 'turbo'. What was old is new again.

personally, I think it's a shame that Chrysler stopped the Crossfire. It could have been continued on the GS platform with the new Pentastar V6 (280hp NA) and badged as a Dodge and a Chrysler.

then 470 hp and 470 lb ft should be right up your alley, not to mention the new 392 badges (that's 6.4L for zie Germans)

and it gets better gas mileage than last year, seriously

Love it! I had a '71 Challenger with a 340. It was no race car but I embarrassed quite a few Mustangs/Cameros.

If I ever tire of my Crossfire (doubtful) the Challenger is my next car.
