Demon Under The Glass

Behold a Rear-Engined, Demon-Powered Dodge Challenger Hellcat Rendered as Plymouth Barracuda

That would make a fun wheel stander.

Just wondering..... why?

My thought as well. Especially considering their cost to do it. The original Hemi Under Glass was cool and popular back in the day because exhibition vehicles were the rage. Not so much today. I'm not sure that many really care to see a rear engine Demon with the sole purpose of doing wheelstands. They did a nice job with it.

Publicity/ noteriety would be my guess.

Edit:
From the article..."While these show cars (original Hemi Under Glass) never break any records, per se, they were all about the show, wowing crowds with insane wheelies aided primarily by the odd engine placement—especially for a drag racing car. For that same reason, Abimelec Arellano of Abimelec Design decided to pay homage to perhaps the ultimate American show car."

If I had money to literally throw away, that would make a fun show car, and an exhibition wheel stand monster.

It's definitely a show thing but I dig it. I kind of wish they would have massaged the front/rear end to bring a bit more cuda vibe to the car.

Lol these comments though

Dont ever compare a Challenger to a 'cuda. They may be cousins but they are from two separate factories. Since the Plymouth factory has been silenced their will never be a true 'cuda, Barracuda or Road Runner ever on Americas highways again. Real Mopar and car people will agree. Stop trying to build something that's not true to its heritage.

You got a number of things wrong here. First, don’t ever call the 426 HEMI a 7. 0L HEMI ever again, it was created back when they still used ci’s to measure engine size, so you call it the 426 HEMI or The Elephant (it’s nickname). Secondly, there is no such thing as a Demon Crate Engine, the only crate engines offered by Mopar (Chrysler’s aftermarket parts brand) are the 5.7L HEMI, the 392 HEMI (a 6.4L engine), the Hellcat Engine (a 6.2L HEMI with a 2.4L IHI Supercharger), and the soon to be released Hellephant crate engine which is an aluminum block 426 HEMI with a 3.0L IHI Supercharger. Also Hurst has already announced that they are looking into building a modern HEMI Under Glass in which they will uses a 2018 or newer Dodge Challenger with the Hellephant crate engine. They also already have put out a concert designed of it.

Isn't that just the intercooler cover?

Love a wheelie car. That's incredible work.
