Speedkore is
bringing two of its latest projects to the 2019 Grand National Roadster Show in
California for their public debut; the first one is the 1970 Dodge Charger
Evolution, complete with a full carbon-fiber body and a modified Demon
powertrain, and the second one being the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 built for
the famous actor Robert Downey Jr.
It’s not easy to
create one of the most impressive Chargers out there but Speedkore did it by
creating new carbon fiber body panels that feature a flawless weave. The end
result is a 1970 Dodge Charger that tips the scales at 1,451 kg and still retain its original 1970 VIN number.
Under the bonnet
lies the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 found in the Dodge Demon, only in this case
power is set at 966 hp, courtesy of the larger fuel injectors, a dry-sump
lubrication system, a smaller drive pulley for the supercharger, a custom
intake and exhaust manifold.
The insanely
powerful engine is mounted on a custom, 3D-designed Speedkore box frame
chassis, riding on Penske coilover suspension and HRE forged wheels shod in
Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The cabin features a 14-point roll cage and is
finished with a cigar-brown leather upholstery.
As for Robert
Downey Jr.’s Mustang, it features a range of carbon-fiber panels that include
the bonnet, fenders, bumpers, deck lid, chin spoiler, quarter extensions and
valence in order to save weight.
This 1970 Ford
Mustang Boss 302 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that’s fitted with a Roush Stage
II supercharger, paired to a Bowler T56 six-speed transmission. Power is sent
to the rear wheels through a Detroit Speed Ford 9-inch differential.
The chassis
features a Detroit Speed and Engineering Aluma-frame suspension system at the
front and a Quadralink in the rear. Inside the cabin you’ll find brown leather
covering the Recaro seats, dash and other components.
