Trivia
- The Speed Demon is not an actual physical character but rather a figment of someone's mind that Salt Flats racers will see if they exit their bodies for going too fast.
- Despite the angelic appearance, it seems that the Speed Demon is the equivalent of the grim reaper in the World of Cars, due to the more demonic name.
