The SpeedKore-based SpeedKore wasted no time in making good use of Mopar’s mighty Hellephant V8. It took it in a disposable 1970s carbon fiber Dodge Charger, which is wild enough to deserve the name Hellraiser.
The resto-modded muscle car was built for actor Kevin Hart, who destroyed one of SpeedKore’s earlier constructions. The company started by scanning a stock loader from 1970 and feeding the data to a five-axis CNC machine that created the molds. SpeedKore then used the body to use carbon fiber from spaceflight to ensure a smooth, strong and regular finish. Hart asked to leave it bare.
Mechanics dropped the body onto a SpeedKore-designed frame with an integrated 14-point roll cage. Even if the construction work ended there and the drive was completely stocked, we would be under the impression of this charger. However, the composite construction and the redesigned substructure are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
When we come across the massive hood, a 7.0 liter Hellephant V8 engine appears which we heard screaming out at the end of 2020. It’s focused on the development of 1,000 horsepower and 950-pound torque, which regularly produces the eclipse of Dodge’s Hellcat models. It rotates the rear wheels via a Challenger Demon-acquired automatic transmission with an automatic transmission and a nine-inch Ford rear, and it exhales through a custom exhaust system.
After struggling through the Mopar and Ford trash cans, SpeedKore chased Chevrolet’s stock. It featured a sixth-generation Corvette suspension system that fitted it with Detroit Speed and Woodward parts. At the rear, the rear is coupled to the frame via a four-bar system and adjustable Penske shocks. Brembo brakes (including six-piston front brake flaps and four-piston rear brake flaps) rule in the V8’s power when needed.
The 3.0-liter charger sticks right through the hood. Take a closer look, and you will notice that most exterior pieces (including the grille) are made of solid aluminum. Inside, the Hellraiser Recaro sports seats for the front passengers, meters with a new look, a three-spoke steering wheel and a specific center console. All of these components are new, but they give a 1970s vibe. However, it does not sound like the 1970s: SpeedKore has installed a modern sound system with Focal components.
SpeedKore did not disclose how much it charged Hart for the Hellraiser, but it was probably not cheap. The engine alone was nearly $ 30,000, and it sold out within 48 hours. If you want one that is a little more accessible, keep an eye on the company’s earlier constructions; they sometimes appear for sale. In 2020, an exotic car dealer in Texas listed one of four Dodge Challenger Demons for about $ 170,000.
