Hell's Bells: Dodge Has Been Trying to Conjure It's Demon for Awhile

With all this talk lately about the Dodge Demon / Challenger thing does anyone remember this concept from not so long ago?  Seems Dodge really wants something to get named Demon at some point.  This 2007 concept is miles away from what they are currently boasting.

From Wikipedia

The Dodge Demon was a concept 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 is was considered for production. It was conceived to compete with cars like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Mazda Miata. Unlike many other concept cars, the materials and construction design of the Demon were such that production would be feasible.
