Torque is a revolutionary thing. It is something that exemplifies a car's character. More than that, it is a vital element that tests a vehicle's endurance on the road.

The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Company is out to prove that its upcoming unit can withstand the daily grind. With the Dodge Demon on the platform, manufacturing prowess will have to go to another level.

What makes the Dodge's new brand distinct from the rest is its increased torque efficiency. The car's twist and turn approach highlights the need to incorporate better engineering components.

Although the sturdiness of the Dodge Demon is still uncertain at this point, it is essential that its prototype be used as the basis for the vehicle's toughness. The enhanced prop shaft, the differential housing and the half-shafts warrant a closer look if these items are indeed up for a challenge.

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat has been cited as the Demon's archetype. With a 650 pound-feet of torque at its arsenal, it will be interesting to know how high its upgraded version will outlast its capacity.

The presence of the Nitto drag radials puts the Dodge Demon in prime position to take the plunge. Due to the reinforced steel and heat-buttressed stub bars, the prop shaft adds about 20 percent strength to the torque.

Meanwhile, the A383 aluminum alloy and a strengthened shot-peened gear set also increase the torque capability by 30 percent through the improved differential housing. With a robust low alloy steel and 8-ball joints, the 41-spline half shafts further add tenacity to the automobile's rotating force.

The capability of the Dodge Demon does not only lean on hardware parts. The Launch Assist software is also in place to manage the wheel hopping process.

The Dodge Demon is the first of its kind to use speed sensors on bump activity. Doing so will lessen the impacts on the torque.

To further enhance the forceful action, Dodge is offering a four-point harness mounting bar as an added accessory. This optional part will be mounted at the ditched back seats.
