For those who haven’t been keeping up with their more recent projects, the folks over at Hoonigan have been working on something extra wild: a Hellcat-powered Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that they plan to use as a driftable party car. With that being said, they must have felt that the 707 ponies produced by the stock engine weren’t enough, as their latest video sees them trying to increase that number to 1,000.
To accomplish that, the main thing they did was replacing the Hellcat motor’s stock supercharger with an upgraded unit from Magnuson. And while they never officially dyno test it in the video, the page for the supercharger on Magnuson’s website claims an output of over 1,000 hp (1,014 PS / 746 kW) with the stock fuel system and as much as 1,400 hp (1,419 PS / 1,044 kW) with the proper supporting modifications, so Hoonigan‘s goal seems realistic. The team also installed a custom Borla exhaust from the headers back for some added power and sound.

But before you go thinking this car is all engine, they also gave it the necessary handling upgrades to make it suitable for drift duty. That included a tube-frame racing chassis, a stripped-out interior, and four Sparco bucket seats with custom-fabricated mounts, one for each occupant. After all the mechanical work was done, they finished off the aesthetics with a white vinyl wrap and a set of Rotiform wheels with aerodisc covers.
