Thanks to CS Panda for lending us the Demon - / cspandauk
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!

All car manufactors: We have to use hybrid to save the world.
Dodge: *engine big*
Agreed
@bro nf Electric Demon🔥🔥
@bro nf If I’m not mistaken Dodge is going to make hybrids before going fully electric.

haha

@@mikeab2871 That is what people who are not into cars didn't understand. At one point, I was minding my own fun watching a compilation of supercharged Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8's, and my mother came to question me whether there's a demon lurking around.
But it's true that a supercharger sounds horrible. It's not a nice noise. I think naturally aspirated V8s, V10s and V12s all sound the best. One for each preferred pitch, all wonderful in their symphonic capabilities
@@k-mansports4723 trippin the whine of a supercharger on american muscle is beautiful to hear
That "yellow stripe" is to protect the lip. The dealers can take it off.
yup if i own one i will take it off
Not only can they, they are supposed to! The guy who designed them is apparently very annoyed people don't.
@@Jack_S_ he was so annoyed that theyre pink now
@@Jack_S_ Because it scratches the plastic splitter because dirt and moisture get under it.
@@sik59rt And people still leave it on and call it an accent color. haha
11:30 is the best drift Matt has done in any car
He da mr drifta from england
Every car brand in the world : “we are trying to save the world” .
Dodge : “huh” ?
😂😂
Dodge: Sorry cant hear you over my supercharger weeeeeeeee
dodge: from communism!
Going out with a bang.
Except of course they're not actually, they're trying to make profit while being pressured by governments
You don't see electric cars in disaster movies,I reckon engines like this will be extremely valuable in 50 years
Mat: The seats are BIG, to accommodate Americans
As an American, I can confirm. Although most of our obesity problems are fat and lazy Democrats
@@StrykerV8 so true lol
@@StrykerV8 guess you've never visited Talladega then.

The car is a fast comfortable car, it doesn’t need seats to hold you in. Nobody is really tracking this car.
The amount of joy this guy has from driving this just makes me want one
Other companies: track focussed, fuel efficient.
Dodge: First and foremost, fun and monster in a straight line.
Dodge is the only car company that can satisfy the dreams you had as a kid.

How what?
@@AB-80X how did you hate it?
Haha, that "yellow stripe" isn't a stripe, it's the freaking splitter guard that is meant to be taken off upon delivery.
Let's just give the dodge demon a moment that mat didn't have to use the "STICK OF TRUTH" and no fake vents!!!!
He needs the rimac stick
Well its not a stupid german shitmobile
Who needs stick of truth when Demon traded its eyes for a pair of nostrils. Talk about living up to its name...
@@NoName-md5zb at least german cars arent ugly af
@@nsteckel8886 Ill take ugly car instead fake one
Dodge: NO!!! you're supposed to remove the protective delivery strip from the splitter!
Dodge Charger/Challenger owners: haha yellow strip look pretty
Exactly 😂😂
And then it fades to white within a couple years and you take it off and find all the grit that got trapped under it chewed up the paint and plastic on the splitter. True story!
😂
I am proud that you would be fair to an American muscle car. It isn’t my type of car but I do appreciate your ability to give it its due when appropriate. Thank you
@@rohans2252 people are stupid
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.
I love this car, my dad owns Dodge Demon number 1942! He took it to Algeria earlier and it caught everyones attention.
That yellow stripe is actually meant to be removed at dealership it’s a splitter protector, great review though Matt!!
It could be because people don’t won’t to damage their splitter maybe?!?!
I sold mine off my 392 for like 60$
When i worked for an FCA dealership id take them all and sell them and depending on what model they came off of (despite being completely identical) I got between 60-100$ people are dumb
@Bryce Czirr I thought they started to make them pink so people would actually remove them
I was going to say that 😂 it looks good with it on too me though
@Bryce Czirr "highly homophobic" huh
A proper 'Gym Car'.

@@puciohenzap891 Bro, do you even deadlift?
GM or muscle?
@@Elaba_ nah I'm too old for a GM, so I would like to go with muscle. Especially with the DODGE family.
The yellow stripe on the front splitter is actually just for transportation... You're supposed to take it off
I love this supercharger whistle sound !
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
Lol
It’s still the same type of power: gasoline
But they could do gas and diesel

Did Mat just do a bored Doug DeMuro impression: “This… is the Dodge Demon”
I think Mat does that intro a lot on reviews, but it is very Doug-like ☺
Mat’s hands were not animated enough.
I think Doug is more like:
"This...is a 2018--- Dodge Demon .."🤣
@@kennytan3223 no no no, it's "thisssssss.."😂
@@carswith-k thisssss is a two thousand eighteeeeeeeeeeen Dodge Demon 🤣
Been looking at these. This was the push I needed to get one. F the price when it sounds like that.. just epic
import it yourself from the US, it's actually something like 1/6th of the price of the next cheapest car with the same horsepower
Man the sound of that supercharger is so goooooood. Oh I love it.
Engineer: So, how big you want the supercharger?
Dodge: yes.
Bigger than every european and Asian car engine
@@toby319 almost every average car today 😨
@@gersongtrz not really?????
@@7.3gss it’s a 2.7L supercharger, most cars today have engines at 1.6/1.8/2.0L hahaha still funny
@@gersongtrz Yeah lol still funny, but If we're talking about cars that are competitive with the Demon, they have big if not bigger engines, so not EVERY car has those 1.6 etc engines
I thought: "carwow is not uploading today"
Then: How wrong was I...
But was it worth the wait?!
@@carwow Uhhhmmmmm....
@@carwow most definitely
@@carwow oh yes it's worth it especially I'm in the United States
So what actually happened
Like the details and how you explain it , the car is powerful surely something to own
you know it's loud and beautiful when carwow subtitled video
Love the way this car is just a middle finger to the green movement.
Green movement is *GAY*
Facts 😂
That might be so but the tide is turning and soon these cars will end up on the scrap heap because no one is going to buy them.
"You need all that rubber, to be able to control all that power"

Could be because it wasn’t funny
You should see the out takes... 👀
@@saint_lewis no it was hella funny

@@damianxavier7343 what? There were so many better jokes throughout the video.
THANK YOU FRO REVIEW THIS CAR
Thank you! It was a pleasure for my eyes and ears!
I can't help it but if i watch carwow and Mat says "I'm Mat Watson" i swear, i hear "Emma Watson" instead :D
👀
I'm just instantly thinking of Sherlock Holmes every time
Mat is more handsome
I'd like to watch Emma Watson clambering over the back seats of a RS6.
Emma Watson at home
mat watson: "the tires have almost no tread left"
also mat: drifts around every corner
I'm was more shocked at the fact he can slide it given all the power and torque, this dude should of done the retake of Top Gear UK, by far a better driver than most on there.
@@jayharris5460 but top gear is trash. Just a bunch of fancy cut scenes and over powering music.
This channel gives us more information that we need and Mat is great at making it fun
@@anthonyatuhaire I meant just for the driving... That's all.
@@jayharris5460 oh yes true. Mat got them handles bruh🤌😁
that sound gives me goosebumps
I missed the part where that's my problem
That "yellow strip" on the front splitter is actually supposed to be removed. It's a factory chip protection cover. It's meant to look ugly so you want to take it off, but people seem to think it's cool. Good for protection too.
I like how instead of posting this at 3am, they post it around 8:00am so that Americans can actually watch the video first
This one's for you guys 🤗
@@carwow me in indonesia
watching in 1 am
At Kenya normal 1:00pm , today 6:00pm
The fact that this car exists brings me immeasurable joy!
Its Chrysler garbage..
@@sonataarctica1979 well the only garbage associated with chrysler is FIAT. Lol they ruined em
You are easily pleased.
Same!! :D
Aren't you worried about the excessive CO2 per km, 339g, which would put it in the most expensive UK road tax brackets? :)
i love the body design n the most important thing is that engine sound!!! dammm cool
Finally, dodge demon review! Thank you for listening me!!!!!
Nobody:
Dodge: We make cars that whine 🥸
Hell yeah
Music to our ears!
@@carwow yep 👌 witnessed a few in my life and it was ACE
A propper "Karen" car...... that petrolheads love.....
I cannot say I like it. It really an annoying whining.... I prefer a turbo whistle.
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.
Idk I've seen demons on tracks hit it pretty consistently I guess it kinda comes in w the owner getting used to it?
The car is 1.9 tonnes. Really comical when they're trying to achieve good performance. They should've put all the money into saving weight
@@defnotatroll then it wouldn’t be a muscle car
you need the below sea level barometer reading too. It took like years and thousands of launches before anyone was able to match the said claimed time, and of course that includes the 1-ft roll-out, which is worth about 0.25s.
@@defnotatrollhence the $ 1 rear seat option and the $ 1 front passenger seat option.
Even the regular Challengers have an Aluminium hood.
Thanks for a great review. If I was in the UK I wouldn't hesitate to buy a vehicle through your company. God bless you and all of yours.
My favorite thing about this video is the sheer glee Mat gets from tossing the Demon around.
Other American manufacturers: **Making economical and practical cars**
Dodge: "haha 5 mpg V8 go brrrrr"
Ford's top of the line mustang does the same mpg but is more track ready than drag ready
@@blazefreak. just a Viper instead for the track
looololol
Murica!!
It's a demon, that's why. Someone call an exorcist! 😉 👹😇
Finally a proper video for Dodge Demon on the whole internet! Thanks
You should've used the linelock before launching it. Linelock basically holds the front brakes only so that you can spin the rear tires. Helps in increasing the temperature of the tyres for better launch.
wow, thx, didnt know that. lol All these comments cant be from North Americans. You have zero muscle cars, its obvious.
He did that in a drag race, and it still got beat... horribly
The Demon is surprisingly useful for such a fast car.
It's just a regular Challenger with a monster engine and a super trick suspension
Dodge singlehandedly fighting against the turning of our cars into toasters, God bless them. 🙏
Ah yes, amen
Yeeehaaaaw brother!
In 2024 dodge is gonna make the first muscle electric cars😢, it's confirmed
@@m.djakelman5181 They'll make them I6s and when they stop selling Dodge will again start making V8s
He really likes this! The smile on his face is the proof
im one of the demon owners and yes its really a special car. i don't think we'll be seeing much like it in the future, at least not combustion powered. very lucky to own one.
you in Florida area? Been looking for a Demon to roll race my RC car LOL
@@StReEtReApEr12R nop
I could watch and listen to that car all day!
Ii was literally waiting for Matt to review this car for a long time!!
Finally it has arrived!!!!
Thanks for giving this good content Matt Watson and CarWow!!
You guys are the best!!
"How much fuel does your engine use?"
Dodge: yes.
if you're buying this beast, fuel is the last thing you're going to worry about...
@@usernamechecksout Period
Depends on what you do with the throttle.
I like how the hellcat sounds so good from both the front and the back.
This guy's job is AMAZING 👏
FINALLY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!
@@carwow please do an all gen BMW M5 drag race :)
@@carwow OK BUT PUT THE F***IN VOLUME DOWN!
Can't you review an M2 CS?
@@carwow lol
As much as I love the off-the-line surgical precision of the 911 Turbo S, there's something satisfying about how the Hellcats and Demons make you work for a 10- or even a low 11-second 1/4-mile on anything but full-blown slicks and a sticky track. Also I wonder how many times this review was postponed due to rain. lol.
This is my one of the favourite car.
I Love this Car
after 20 yrs of driving ive finally learned what trans brake is
ty
I can’t believe someone gave Matt a demon absolute beast of a machine 🤣 would love to drive one
Come to Florida I’ll let you drive one.
I've been waiting for this.
Same
all of us have
Me too
Me too
Same
With that fuel consumption,supercharger sound and huge engine. It's indeed a Demon.
one of my absolute favorite cars!
FINALLY A DODGE DEMON REVIEW I'VE WAITING FOR YEARS MATT
and now it's outdated by the hellcat XR
power of a hypercar with the design and aerodynamics of a Barn
the whineing noise reminds me of the vuxhall vxr8 bathurst edition .pure eargasm
That engine sounds so good
The best sounding exhaust hands down. It actually makes u jump when it drives pass you when it catches u off guard.
I’ve never heard it but once a Mclaren drove past us, unexpectedly, I almost died. I was so scared that my stomach got extremely hot out of nowhere, goosebumps, my heart beat was speeding up, and I jumped a little out of my seat, it was pretty far back Im assuming and then it just hits the gas and our car is really well insulated, we were on the freeway, windows rolled up, that car passing by us just almost scared the life out of us.
There's a bunch of cars that do that
I love this car so much because of its whine sound. Music to my ears!
Dodge demon is my favorite car. You did gooood to review it..
You have to love the Demon/Hellcat screeching squirrel scream
7:37 - "bad luck, they're not on sale anymore."
Well technically, they still make the Demon to this day; only with one less horsepower, no crazy dollar crate, a rather mundane name, as well as some more downgrades. So yeah, the Challenger Super Stock was basically just that; a lightened up Demon for mass production.
one less hp makes it considerably slower and it just won't feel fast after driving both cars and I've heard the demon has better miles per gallon to save money in gas
@@Duckdude001 To be fair, it isn't the same money. If you could find a demon for sale it would be for substantially more than a super stock. I was just reading the other day about one that sold for half a million dollars. If the buyer an idiot? Probably. Still, seeing something like that makes the SS look a bit more reasonable.
I was literally desperately waiting for this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@carwow thanks g
I was waiting to see this 🚀
Ignoring the size of some of the panel gaps where you could argue does it need a bonnet scoop for cooling looking at those panel gaps on the front 😄 I do actually love the look of the car. Looks awesome 👍🏻
CSPANDA, Thanks for letting us enjoy your cars.
This was built because people would love it. It's competent and supremely quick. If you don't like it or don't understand it, then it's not meant for you.
👊🏻
That can be said for any car
@@pjb9010 I have a Suzuki, it can't be said for that.... lol
It's like Dodge didn't even consider CO2 per km when designing the Demon or Viper...? :) For every one Demon sold in Europe, FIAT Chrysler would have to sell *four* FIAT 500e's just to balance out the EU WLTP fleet emissions average.
@@TassieLorenzo of course they didn't! So?
how that thing turns is sick
Love the editor's edits!!!
Other car companies: Electric cars are the future 👨🔬
Dodge: 'Murica 🤠
Dodge : our car does the 1/4 mile in 9.7sec ( actually does it in 12.4sec)
Electric cars : our family sedan does the 1/4 mile in 9.5sec ,actually does it.
@@sorinelpustiu5674 lmao it’s not about that tho. Obviously if you want the fastest quarter mile or 0-60 you buy a Tesla. But it’s not why people buy the demon, sure it’s fast but it’s also more fun and people like the feeling.
What you said doesn't make any sense.
@@kris348ka8 but.... the Tesla doesn't have the fastest quarter mile...nor is the fastest to 60
@@sorinelpustiu5674 why do people don't understand that speed isn't everything , why do you think people still buy old jdm cars so much , it's all about fun and electric cars feel like a dead robot which can only go fast for some time because then the battery is exhausted , for example Tesla go fast to 60 but after that any sports car will overtake it because it has low top speed , electric cars weigh a ton and aren't agile whatsoever , the only decent electric car I have driven was the taycan tubro s and still the Cayman gt4 felt much better in every way ,Tesla is just crap imo
The yellow on the front of the spliter 😂
Fun fact: your meant to remove that before it reaches the dealership, but people keep it on cause American's are something else
Isn’t it for delivery only
Bro... 😑
@@Nnn30055 The dealership is meant to remove it as soon as you pick it up.
@@Nnn30055 yes it is. Nowadays it comes in pink, to make more obvious that you're supposed to remove it.
Nice to see this car on test on a regular track, all of the other footage out there is on the 1/4 mile.
That's a GEM of an engine, decent 4 seater, looks the bollocks....!
The design of the car is so American, Italians spend time making advanced aerodynamic systems and the like, meanwhile Cleetus from Texas found a massive V8, and put it in an oversized Lego brick.
agreed 😂
And i love it tbh
I know...it's beautiful🥲
That’s what I love about American cars. They don’t give a shit about the minute details they only care about FUN which is great
Maybe try a Corvette or a Viper? nurburgring kings
This is one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me: I was watching doug de muro's review of this car when the notification of this upload from carwow popped up. Amazing!
I love this car. I just hope that someday i'll own one
I also enjoy the fact that he’s drifting on street drag radials!😂
Ok, I was abt to go to bed a bit annoyed that no Carwow video today, and just seeing the notification took my whole sleep away!😁. Hey Carwow, next target-DURANGO HELLCAT!!
I was waiting for it since the race you did
The "yellow strip" is actually a protection lip for shipping and are actually meant to take off but people like to keep them on cuz they look kinda cool
I had Mercedes Benz C 230K (CL 203) the coupe one and I fell love for it because of supercharger, the whine it did when reved :D My GF hated that sound, so of course i was overtaking cars and even more often just to make that lovely sound :D
I've always been a fan of the muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s. They just have that special style and sound. I would like to get a newer challenger someday as a fun car because I can't imagine not having a smile on my face while driving it. The challenger is my favorite by far because it has kept the old style the best and the newer ones with the widebody kit are just amazing looking.
Wouldn't you rather an old Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 with a sensible engine size? :)
European brands: aerodynamics, top of the line performance technology, doing everything they can to reduce weight
Americans: Hahaha big supercharged engine goes brrrr
and still they are faster hahahaha> :)
