The Dodge Demon was a concept car made by DaimlerChrysler, 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 it was considered for production. [1] It was conceived to compete with cars like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Mazda MX-5 Miata. Unlike many other concept cars, the materials and construction design of the Demon were such that production would be feasible.
The name stems back when Dodge was previously used the "Demon" name on the fastback version of the 1971-72 Dart, but was ultimately discontinued after been criticized by its name.
