Newest Dodge Demon Tease Showcases a History Making Feature

The latest in the teases for the Dodge Demon has hit.  In the 11th teaser video for the upcoming monster car, the focus is on a performance feature.  Not just any performance feature, but rather one that will be a first ever.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be the first ever factory production car with a TransBrake.  What this does for the Demon is give it the ability to produce launch forces that no other street legal production car could reach.

What the TransBrake does is provide improved reaction times and more consistent launches.  It uses the steering wheel paddle shifters as a launch trigger.  This change alone gives the Dodge Demon a 30 percent reaction time advantage over foot-brake launches.  How amazing does the Dodge Demon sound right now?

All of this combines with the Demon’s new lightweight brake package to make it worthy of such a monstrous name.  With the endless teases from Dodge and shots from the latest Fast and Furious movie, the wait is getting unbearable.  It certainly seems like Dodge has something cooked up properly to appease all the time they’ve put into previewing every working bit of the Demon.  It won’t be much longer now until the Demon is unleashed.

The Dodge Demon is coming back from the dead.  This reanimated muscle car will be what puts the Hellcat to shame.

At the New York International Auto Show in April, Dodge will be showing off their latest and greatest muscle car to date; the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.  The challenger for the Demon’s return is to see if it can top the already massively impressive Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat.  That’s quite the feat for Dodge to attempt.

“Most cars attempt to be everything to everybody.  Then there are the rare few that revel in a single objective, rending them totally irresistible to subculture,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands for FCA North American in a statement.  “The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiast who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation.”

In the upcoming days and weeks, Dodge will be teasing out glimpses of the Demon.  The first is n their new website dedicated to the Demon reveal, www.ifyouknowyouknow.com.  The first is a video called “Cage” which is a tease of things to come.

Dodge Viper Leads a Trooper Of Stormtrooper Dodge Challengers in New Star Wars Ad

Star Wars mania is in full effect as the brand new film gets ever closer.  To capitalize on the onslaught of all things Star Wars before Force Awakens comes out, Fiat-Chrysler has joined the #DodgeSide (get it!?) and is combining their vehicles with classic Star Wars imagery.

 

Each brand of FCA gets highlighted in the various ads, but the one that stands out the most is Dodge’s.  In reference to when Uber ran the special deal to get driven around in a custom Dodge made to look like a Stormtrooper, there is a legion of Dodge Challengers decked out in all white with a special-edition Viper at the forefront.  The ‘Imperial March’ plays as the cars slowly proceed.  It’s a great spectacle to see and made even better with the music playing, be careful however not to get it stuck in your head afterwards.

 

What makes the Viper even cooler is that it is done up to look not like the old favorite baddy Darth Vader, but new Sith Lord Kylo Ren.  While one could hope for a lightsaber exhaust, alas, that is not the case here.  Still, fans of Star Wars and Dodge have just found the best kind of intersection.  Enjoy!
