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 3,200 pounds (1,451kg) 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 966hp, 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.
“We are incredibly excited to showcase these two vehicles at the 2019 Grand National Roadster Show” said SpeedKore Vice President Dave Salvaggio. “After receiving such an exceptional response during their respective debuts at the SEMA Show, we are looking forward to seeing the reaction of the enthusiast audience to these vehicles which we believe provide a glimpse into the future of custom car building.”
