The Dodge Demon is a concept car made by DaimlerChrysler, designed to slot in under the Viper as a more affordable sports car from Dodge. The Demon was first shown at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show, and it was considered for production.[1] It was conceived to compete with cars like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Mazda MX-5 Miata. Unlike many other concept cars, the materials and construction design of the Demon were such that production would be feasible.
