Revamped Challenger: Classic Charger with Carbon-Fiber

400 Pounds Lighter Than Standard Model

Dodge has never shied away from the truth that their Challenger car, unveiled in 2008, was essentially a replica of automotive models from the ’60s. Although it was by no means exact, the rectangular-shaped muscle machine had an unmistakably vintage flair, even compared to other “modern classic” vehicles. Today, people now have the option to customize modern series Hellcats to a greater extent, making them stronger resemblances to the historical models.

Specialists in aftermarket products, eXoMod Concepts, has created a full carbon-fiber widebody kit for Challenger SRT Hellcat owners. Their impressive model, Quicksilver, required around 1,500 hours to build, resulting in an up-to-date muscle car that emulates the 1968 Charger. The extra 4 inches incorporated into the bodywork effectively increases the width, yet still manages to reduce the weight of the vehicle by 400 lbs due to the light-weighting properties of carbon-fiber.

eXoMod Concepts furnishes an exclusive engine bay for the ride, and the high-powered 6.2-liter V8 still churns out a formidable 807 horsepower. Coupled with Dodge’s eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission, this modified assembly preserves the vehicle’s full factory drivetrain guarantee from Dodge.

The contractor revamped the brakes, affixing six-piston Brembo calipers and 15.7″ drilled rotors. These clampers are tucked in elegantly designed 20″ Forgeline wheels, measuring 10″ in the front and 12″ at the rear, draped in Nitto NT555 tires.

Presently, merely a singular carbon-fiber Challenger is available, yet you can possess yours for $345,000. Quicksilver is part of the organization’s C68 Carbon line. The business has intentions to create 10 extra Carbon series automobiles with enhancements stemming from its original range. Rick Katzeff, CEO of the company, designated it as “the perfect combination”.

Dodge is ending the production of their Challenger in December, subsequent to a 15 year history since 2008. Over these years, multiple advancements were made on the model to cultivate more power, finally culminating today with the Demon 170 delivering 1,025 horsepower and 945 lb-ft of torque while fueled by E85.

The Demon yields just 900 horsepower and 810 pound-feet in its natural state, however consuming the secret elixir boosts the total to an unrivaled 1,025hp, allowing it to reach 60mph in a touted 1.66 seconds. In quarter-mile tests, the Challenger clocks in at 8.91 seconds while approaching 151.17 mph. Starting at a rate of $96,666, the super-muscle car can cost up to $133,421.
