Dodge released the Challenger SRT Demon in 2018, a seriously affordable powerhouse that sets the bar high for modern American muscle cars. Today, it's becoming something of a collector's car, with one dealer trying to unload brand new models for as much as $200,000 each. The legend surrounding this Dodge vehicle only continues to grow among gearheads. Now, automotive designer Hycade has transformed the Dodge Demon into an edgy, bodykit-wearing supercar in a must-see digital rendering uploaded to YouTube that enthusiasts won't be able to resist drooling over.
Dodge Demon Breaks All The Rules (In A Good Way)
Hycade is skilled at giving today's popular cars the extreme bodykit treatment. The artist successfully pulled off the look for the C8 Chevrolet Corvette, turning it into a hot hypercar. Now, it's the Demon's turn and, while it'll probably turn the purists off, most enthusiasts will appreciate the muscle car's amplified menace.
The video kicks off with the car's four headlights powering on, slowly turning red from top to bottom. There's a large front skirt on the Demon for improved airflow and dual-snorkel scoop above it. Panning around to the Demon's side, there's a flat underbody and giant rear wing sticking out—something you seldom, if ever, see on a Dodge muscle car.
Kitted Out Demon: Better Or Worse For Performance?
Hycade's video pans around the kitted out Dodge Demon multiple times, letting viewers appreciate this insane muscle car from every possible angle. The video offers a glimpse of the Demon bodykit in three colors, showing how different shades emphasize certain parts of the radical modifications over others. For example, the black rear diffuser looks significantly more prominent when contrasted with the bright orange Demon.
"Finally finished!" Hycade writes in the YouTube description for the video. "Sometimes it goes fast and sometimes I run out of ideas. It was tough, but now I'm happy with the result."
A question that inevitably comes up whenever these sorts of renderings come out is whether the bodykit will ever come into existence. Unfortunately, there's nothing to indicate this bodykit will go into production any time soon, but there's always a chance it could inspire some shop out there to attempt such a build.
Granted, if one were to imagine a Demon like this in the real world, it likely would only exist for aesthetic purposes, as a bodykit could potentially dampen the muscle car's performance, assuming it makes the car weigh more than it would stock.
