Fiat Chrysler has revealed that it is working to bring back one of the most iconic muscle cars of the 70s, the Dodge Demon. The new Dodge Demon will pack a more powerful engine that could easily rival that of the Dodge Charger, and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat models.

Fiat Chrysler said that the new Dodge Challenger Demon SRT would make its official debut at this year's New York Auto Show in April.

In a statement acquired by USA Today, Fiat Chrysler head of passenger car brands Tim Kuniskis said, "The Dodge Challenger Demon SRT is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation."

Kuniskis added that the new Demon SRT would be more powerful than the current Hellcat models.The Hellcat models pack a 6.8-liter V8 engine capable of outputting up to 707 horsepower. This means that new Demon SRT will be more power than that.

Dodge claims that the current Challenger Hellcat model packs an eight-speed automatic gearbox that can accelerate the car from zero to 60mph in less than three seconds. According to Business Insider, the National Hot Rod Association rated the Hellcat's quarter mile sprint at 11.2 seconds when using street tires and 10.8 seconds when using racing tires.

These are all impressive figures, but the upcoming Demon will raise the bar higher than its predecessors.

Dodge is yet to confirm the official specs of the Demon SRT. The Dodge Demon features a distinct grille and rear taillight design. The "Demon" logo is adorned in yellow color with a fork representing the letter M.
