Dodge Demon review - 0-60mph, 1/4-mile, brake & DRIFT test!

.............................................................

This is the absolutely raucous Dodge Demon! It’s the extreme version of the Dodge Challenger, and trust us, it’s absolutely wild!

Let’s face it, there’s one thing we need to discuss first when talking about this huge American muscle car - the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 6.2-litre supercharged V8. In the regular challenger, it’ll pump out 707hp… But in the Demon, that’s been increased to an almighty 808hp! Oh, and it also puts down a humungous 972Nm of torque, too!

Think that might be too much power for this RWD muscle car? Well guess again - it’s claimed that the Demon can run the quarter-mile in less than 10 seconds! The question is, will Mat be able to put the power down properly?! There’s only one way to find out - join him for his latest in-depth review!

[s.k.]

All car manufactors: We have to use hybrid to save the world.

Dodge: *engine big*

[stoneyg.]

That yellow stripe is actually meant to be removed at dealership it’s a splitter protector, great review though Matt!!

[krane]

Dodge is the only car company that can satisfy the dreams you had as a kid.

[SC-kdln]

11:30 is the best drift Matt has done in any car

[ogisgarage]

Dodge: You can run two different types of fuel depending on the use, so its a hybrid
Rest of the car manufacturers: Um, no, that not how it wo-
Dodge (stares back): HY-BRID

[luniko]

Mat: The seats are BIG, to accommodate Americans

[dedbot]

Let's just give the dodge demon a moment that mat didn't have to use the "STICK OF TRUTH" and no fake vents!!!!

[jackcrue]

The amount of joy this guy has from driving this just makes me want one

[vismaadtamber]

bystander: Mate your car's dying

Demon owner: Nah, that's just the supercharger

[kevinw]

Every car brand in the world : “we are trying to save the world” .

Dodge : “huh” ?

[Angel_]

Dodge: NO!!! you're supposed to remove the protective delivery strip from the splitter!

Dodge Charger/Challenger owners: haha yellow strip look pretty

[skpunk]

That "yellow stripe" is to protect the lip. The dealers can take it off.

[zommergames]

That 9.65 1/4 time is pretty hard to reach in a stock Demon, even on a prepped drag strip anyhow. Using the race fuel, skinny tires, driver seat only, proper trans-break launch on a prepped surface will help, but I've been reading that even then it is tough. A crazy cool car none the less.

[miat]

Love the way this car is just a middle finger to the green movement.

[FTFN]

Did Mat just do a bored Doug DeMuro impression: “This… is the Dodge Demon”

[anuratohazra]

Other companies: track focussed, fuel efficient.
Dodge: First and foremost, fun and monster in a straight line.

[qwertiee]

"You need all that rubber, to be able to control all that power"

Surprised you said that with a straight face... Mat

[sooofancier]

I thought: "carwow is not uploading today"
Then: How wrong was I...

[waltert.dogcarnut]

Demon = Most fun you can have on 4 wheels, while 2 of them are constantly spinning! Matt you have the best job on the planet, well done.

[anthonyatuhaire]

mat watson: "the tires have almost no tread left"

also mat: drifts around every corner
