On ne l’a pas encore vue et on ne connait pas ses spécifications exactes, mais il est déjà assuré que la Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 2018 sera l’une des superstar du prochain Salon International de l’Auto de New York. Annoncée il y a quelques jours, la Challenger SRT Demon sera une version encore plus puissante des modèles SRT Hellcat de 717 ch. Dodge publie une campagne de teasing so bad-ass.
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles a annoncé un nouveau modèle pour la marque Dodge. Le dénommée sigle ‘Demon’ sera ressuscité pour une version ultra performante de la Dodge Challenger préapré par SRT (Street & Racing Technology, filiale du groupe Fiat Chrysler Automobiles chargée de développer des modèles performants basés sur des voitures dont les marques appartiennent au groupe : Chrysler, Dodge ou Jeep)
Mais, la Hellcat n’est pas déjà l’ultime Challenger ?
Oui, mais pas pour longtemps, car FCA « monte la barre une nouvelle fois avec la Challenger SRT Demon »
Dans le 1er teaser d’une série de 12 vidéos à être publiées, qui mèneront à la présentation officielle de la Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

À quoi peut-on donc s’attendre ?
Quelques indices from USA :
it will be more than 200 pounds lighter than its current Hellcat brother.
Based on the clues given in the video, “adjustments” have been made to the wheels, steering, suspension, brakes, interior construction and components.
90kg ! Un gain de poids en moins conséquent donc. Dodge n’a donné aucune précision, sinon que son new modèle avait été modifié quasiment à tous les niveaux, depuis ses roues jusqu’à sa direction, en passant par sa suspension, son système de freinage et sa construction générale.
Moteur Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Il semble bien que la Dodge Demon 2017 sera encore plus puissante que la Hellcat, qui dispose d’un V8 suralimenté de 6,2 litres développant 717 ch.
Moteur Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Sous le capot de cette SRT Demon, on devrait retrouver la même cavalerie que celle qui anime la Challenger SRT Hellcat via son bloc V8 6.2L.
Le moteur V8 HEMI 6.2 compressé développe au final 717 ch précisément, et 881 Nm de couple. En effet, c’est monstrueux (!) mais Dodge précise que cette Challenger SRT Hellcat est livrée avec deux clés dont une noire, qui pourra limiter la puissance à 500 ch. (:p)
Donc, sous le capot de ce félin ‘Muscle Car’ de 2068 kg : 717 ch. Produit par le bestial moteur V8 6.2L HEMI à compresseur fort, de 717 ch (527 kW) et 881 Nm de couple.
Under the hood V8 6.2L HEMI
HEMI V8
Le moteur Hemi est un type de moteur, caractérisé par la forme hémisphérique de ses chambres de combustion. C’est cette forme qui a donné le nom au moteur (de l’anglais hemispherical).
Le nom Hemi est une marque déposée de Chrysler Corporation aux États-Unis, mais est passé dans le langage courant. Les premiers moteurs à chambre de combustion hémisphérique remontent au moins à 1903, et ont été utilisés d’abord pour la compétition et leur compatibilité avec les arbres à came en tête (soupapes en V).
Ce type de moteur a été popularisé par Chrysler dans les années 1950 avec ses moteurs FirePower, puis sous le nom ‘Hemi’ à la fin des années 1960. La présentation du premier moteur portant le badge Hemi remonte à 1964, avec la Dodge Hemi Charger Concept Car. Le nom est repris aujourd’hui sur certains modèles du groupe Chrysler mais les chambres de combustion ne sont plus hémisphériques. Il s’agit en général d’un moteur V8 de grande cylindrée : entre 5 et 7,2 litres selon les versions.
Dodge Resurrects the Demon
Dodge a mis en place un site dédié à la Dodge Challenger SRT Demon :
Heritage Dodge
Le sigle Demon est apparu pour la première fois en 1971, étant une version très performante de la Dodge Dart.
Plus récemment, Dodge Demon était le nom d’un concept de petite voiture sportive décapotable ayant été présenté pour la première fois au Salon de l’auto de Genève en 2007.
The Dodge Demon was a concept made by Daimler Chrysler, designed to slot in under the Viper as a more affordable sports car from Dodge. The Demon was first shown at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show, and is was considered for production. It was conceived to compete with cars like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Mazda Miata. Unlike many other concept cars, the materials and construction design of the Demon were such that production would be feasible.
1970s Dodge Dart
The 1970 Dart’s dual taillamps were given over to the badge-engineered Plymouth Valiant Scamp, while the 1971 Dart received new smaller quad taillamps that would be used through 1973. The Custom 2-door hardtop coupe became the Swinger, and the standard Swinger became the Swinger Special.
Dodge gained a version of Plymouth’s popular Valiant-based fastback Duster and was to be named the Beaver, but when Chrysler’s marketing department learned that ‘beaver’ was CB slang for vagina, the vehicle was renamed the ‘Dart Demon’.
As was the case with previous Dodge rebadges of Plymouth Valiants, such as the 1961–1962 Lancer, sales of the Demon lagged behind those of the Duster. With optional hood scoops and blackout hood treatment, the car was advertised a performance car. The Demon’s Dart-type front fender wheel lips and Duster-type rear wheel fender lips reveal the car was essentially a Duster with Dart front sheetmetal and other minor styling changes.
Changes for 1972 included a revised grille without the central divider of the 1970 and 1971 items, new surface-mounted sidemarker lights rather than the previous flush-mount units, a new instrument cluster featuring a large rectangular speedometer and several small round gauges; the AM/FM radio option returned. The Demon had new fender-mounted metal ‘Demon’ badges without the small devil character on the 1971 decals. The « Demon » decal on the rear of the car was replaced by Dodge and Dart emblems on the lower right edge of the deck lid. Some Demons with the side and rear panel tape stripes retained the tape devil character.
A new optional single hood scoop replaced 1971’s dual scoops, and was coupled with a hood paint blackout that had been standard on the 1971 high-trim/high-value Demon Sizzler model. Cars equipped with the optional rally wheels now came with newly restyled center caps finished in a light argent (silver) paint. Demon production was substantially less than Duster’s; this is reflected in higher collector car values for the Demon, especially V8 models.
January 12, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – Dodge shocked the performance world when it launched the most powerful and fastest muscle cars in the world – the Challenger SRT Hellcat and Charger SRT Hellcat. Now, two years later, Dodge is raising the bar again with the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
‘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. 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.’
– Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT – FCA North America
Leading up to the New York reveal, Dodge is launching its first-ever pre-debut video teaser campaign, including a new website www.ifyouknowyouknow.com, where fans and followers can get weekly updates, download sharable content and gain insight into the SRT Demon’s engineering prowess.
In the first video, “Cage,” which debuts today, the ferocious animated Hellcat is back. Refusing to be caged, the beast transforms, thus beginning a new chapter in the Dodge brand’s performance legacy.
In the coming weeks, Dodge will bring fans and followers in on more details by slowly peeling away layer upon layer of the new Challenger SRT Demon via video shorts that highlight the engineering prowess that has gone into its development.
All videos in the series will be featured at www.ifyouknowyouknow.com. A countdown clock tells viewers when the next installment will be uncaged. The final chapter arrives when the SRT Demon is revealed in New York City, prior to the New York International Auto Show.
Dodge will promote the teaser campaign on its social media pages encouraging them to use the hashtag #DodgeDemon
