Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Revealed With Full Carbon-Fiber Body


It's difficult to imagine a production car more singularly focused than the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. From the factory, the car comes without both a front passenger seat and a rear backseat, shaving 113 pounds off of the big-boned Challenger. Now, it looks like the lightweight aficionados over at SpeedKore are ready to help trim the Demon's weight further with new carbon fiber body panels.

Following last year's debut of its carbonized Challenger SRT Hellcat, SpeedKore will roll out a Demon show car wearing a full assortment of carbon-fiber body panels, including the fenders, bumpers, hood, and rear decklid. SpeedKore isn't letting on how much weight this shaves from the 4,280-pound coupe, but considering the carbon panels on the similar SpeedKore GT350R project saved "at least 400 pounds," it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine at least an equivalent reduction on the larger Demon.

Complete details remain scant, but more information will be revealed after the car's official debut at this year's SEMA Show. As a bonus, Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker himself, will be on hand to pull the covers off the SpeedKore Demon, so make sure you stop by the booth.

Mazda Is The Hero Of The 2017 Tokyo Motor Show


Two years ago, Mazda unveiled the RX-Vision Concept at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. It was the first big unveil that year and got everyone excited at the prospect of a new Mazda rotary sports car. This year, no such luck; but we do have cars that carried over the RX-Vision’s design language.

This year I’m glad Mazda came in full force. In a show where autonomous EVs with artificial intelligence dominated the stands, our favorite underdogs from Hiroshima showed not one but two gorgeous concepts of what we can expect their next generation cars to look like.

The Vision Coupe is a low-slung, sleek four-door ‘coupe’ that carries on from the RX-Vision Concept shown at the last Tokyo Motor Show. While this year didn’t have any indication of a production-ready rotary power sports car, the Vision Coupe does represent a move in the right direction. Mazda says it’s a “design exercise on which future models will draw inspiration from.”

Just look at it. Long bonnet tapering to a short bump with the wheels stretched out to the corners. The clean and elegant lines remind me of something more European and exotic, something more befitting a British or Italian logo. Inside it was very minimalist and driver oriented. There’s not a lot of unnecessary surfacing and angles going on inside. It’s quite retro in a sense.
