A 717hp Challenger Hellcat made to look like a classic Charger could be the mashup you never knew you wanted car auto cars
Backdated cars are very hard to get right. Even in the case of a Dodge Challenger, whose design is heavily indebted to the mid-century model of the same name, the designers wisely stayed away from strict imitation, to allow for modern proportions. But this 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat C68 Carbon does a surprisingly good job of combining a retro-styled body over a modern chassis.
. Moreover, the replacement of all that steel with carbon fiber made the car lighter by no less than 400 lbs .Finished in a historically-inspired shade of purple called Plum Crazy Pearl with a bumblebee tail stripe, other retro modifications include the slatted grille, the machined headlight doors, and the argent silver surrounds. Even the exposed carbon-fiber dual-scoop hood marries the old and the new.
Everything under the new-old skin comes from a Hellcat: a 717 hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8, Brembo brakes, Bilstein adaptive dampers, and an 18-speaker Harmon Kardon speaker system with a modern infotainment system. These are combined with a set of 20-inch Forgeline Rodster wheels, and a retrimmed interior with Katzkin Italian Amaretto leather.
