Chrysler will exhibit an all-new Dodge roadster concept called the Demon at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. The vehicle is designed to compete with the popular Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky, as well as the Mazda MX-5.

"While the iconic Dodge Viper is a dream car for many, the Dodge Demon is designed to be an attainable dream car," said Jae Chung – Dodge Demon Principal Exterior Designer, Chrysler Group. "The exterior design is simple yet bold, featuring an energetic combination of curves and intersecting planes."

Power comes from a 172 horsepower 2.4 liter engine, offering peak torque of 165 pound-feet. A six-speed manual sends power to the rear wheels. Weight is estimated a 2600 pounds. Dodge officials say an SRT version could also be offered with a 300 horsepower four-cylinder from the Dodge Caliber SRT-4.

Sorry, but that just looks terrible!

Looks like an ugly unresolved version of the Z4!

looks pretty cool -- trying to grab a piece of the saturn sky market it seems

Stoopie 02-12-2007 05:02 AM

Nice :D

dons5 02-12-2007 05:25 AM

looks like an s2000 and a 350z put together with a dodge front end,

Looks like a Dodge Charger had sex with a Dodge Viper and something went wrong during gestation.

TopGearNL 02-12-2007 08:58 AM

From the back it reminds me of the Murci a bit and the front reminds me of a fish..

Ugly car, take it away I never want to see it in my life.. :lol:

it is quite light and coming caliber SRT 300hp engine promises quite a lot, 1179kg/300hp

Shinigami 02-12-2007 10:55 AM

The S2000 and MX5 owners are liking it apparently. I think it looks quite nice, and if the weight is low and has enough power in it, that could be quite fun.

Yeah, that generally happens with incest.

The front looks alright, but the rest of the car is hideous and the side shot makes it seem so out of proportion.

One Big Minus: Cupholders --> No sportscar

I woudn't even put it that high LOL

the angles of the nose match nothing on the remainder of the car; sometimes, you have to wonder about the idea of a corperate grill... the rear fenders... ?!?!?! if they were to still be in existance, the flow into the trunk line should be much more apparent... not like it's moulded to fit on as an afterthought... either erase the flairs, or fix the drunk trunk... UGLY

so if a 2 seater outlaps, and out accellerates the car without cupholders in the same market, is it still not a sportscar?

^^^^ Aww leave Bimmer alone, they simply cant help it.

As for this, I think it looks decent. Though it does seem to have some Europe/Japan merged with American muscle styling, which isnt all that original. I think it looks fresh and if released..........................it more than likely wont shit, because Americans dont really go for small American cars. What that? Unless the SRT version is incredible, there is no way in hell I would pick this over a S2000 or MX-5.

Somebody send me S2000 Type-R when it is released :drool:

HeilSvenska 02-12-2007 07:21 PM

Looks ugly. It somehow reminds me of the MG TF. There are awkward lines everywhere (kinda like the ME 4 12 near the rear) and it looks fat. And the worst of all, it looks very 90's. With the Solstice and the Sky (which are very pretty) already on the market, I can't imagine anyone buying it. But. It's a nice thought.

666fast 02-12-2007 07:46 PM

I like most of it, just not the front end. It just doens't look right. Too big IMO. But other than that, that kind of power to weight surely would be lots of fun.

Z3uS 02-12-2007 09:40 PM

The grills at the front remind me the Dodge Viper, which is not good, and it doesn't seem to fit the rest of the car.

The headlights are nice, so are the backlights and the rear. It seems weird but i kinda like it.

Another thing that caught my attention was the rectangle doors, that's just not cool.

acmarttin 02-12-2007 10:04 PM

Anybody else think the back end (esp. the taillights) looks like a Mk.2 Audi TT? (soooooorta?)

I do.

Well. With the success of that particular GM platform I'm not surprised there are Dodge and Saab versions on the drawing board to saturate the market. In my humblest of opinions I think it's like choosing one pile of dog shit over another. :bah:

Yes.

Firdosh7747 02-13-2007 12:45 PM

Little kids will cry :twisted: when they cross the street and see that car.. Its just horrific. Like that SUV Subaru made.. Tribeca. Hammond said on the 2nd episode that his kids were afraid just to get into it haha.
