Automotive News says the Dodge Demon should be banned
Trade publication Automotive News has called for the fresh Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to be banned in a scathing editorial regarding the muscle car titled “Keep the Dodge Demon off our roads.”
The outlet called the eight hundred eight hp Demon “inherently dangerous to the common safety of motorists,” even while admitting there are other “more powerful, and even swifter vehicles available from other automakers that are rightly street legal.”
The Demon was designed to be the quickest car in the world, and it has several haul racing-style features never before suggested on a factory production car, including a transmission brake and a standard set of haul radials, which have the minimum amount of tread to be approved for street use by the DOT.
The car only ships with a driver’s seat and can run on one hundred octane race gas with a factory upgrade that comes with a warranty and bumps its power up to eight hundred forty hp. The Demon’s quarter-mile spectacle of 9.65 seconds at one hundred forty mph means that it requires a roll box to be used on a haul disrobe if its holder actually plans to drive it that quickly.
The editorial says that the Demon is “the result of a sequence of misguided corporate choices that places bragging rights ahead of public safety,” and that it “spits” on the industry’s aim of improving safety while “knowingly placing motorists in danger.” It goes on to quote Ralph Nader and proclaim the Demon “unsafe at any speed.”
Dodge has not commented on the editorial.
The accusations are made despite the fact that no one on the staff of Automotive News has yet driven the car, and the chunk doesn’t mention Dodge’s assertion that the Demon isn’t just a haul racer. Its braking and roadholding capabilities are far superior to most cars on the road today, according to Dodge brand boss Tim Kuniskis, who says that it has the capability to pull a supercar-like 1.00 g on the skidpad and come to a stop from sixty mph in less than one hundred feet, a feat that very few cars in the world can achieve.
(Update: Automotive News’ enthusiast-focused sister publication, Autoweek, has published its own editorial telling that it expects the Demon to be “slew safe when used responsibly.”)
The Demon is based on the seven hundred seven hp Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, which was expected to be a low volume, limited edition niche vehicle, but turned out to be a surprise hit for the brand. Dodge has been selling more than twice as many as it expected to when it put it on sale in 2015, and has since expanded the availability of the Hellcat engine to the Charger sedan and upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
