Behold the Hellucination, a special muscle car<\/strong> that comes from a golden era in car design that gets an overhaul and heart transplant for 2022.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n
That heart transplant is a Hellephant crate engine, and the Top Gear YouTube channel takes the time to inspect the car and delve into the specifics of such an awesome project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dodge’s Charger<\/strong> from 1968 is an instantly-recognizable machine with styling that makes it an icon and a favorite for many \u2013 let’s check out the restomod and engine-swapped 60’s muscle car to see what exactly happened when a crazy idea went from paper to reality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The 1968 Dodge Charger Restomod Hellephant Crate Engine Project<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
This car is the brainchild of Ralph Gilles, chief designer at Stellantis and responsible for cars like the Chrysler 300 and 5th-generation Dodge SRT Viper.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Constructed by outfit SpeedKore, the result is a wide-bodied, completely-carbon fiber-based restomod that transforms a rusty barn-find into a thorough-bred monster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The car is black with visible carbon fiber and has a low stance, with custom wheels that sit high in the wheel arches, there are LED lights up front and back, though the grill and main shape retain the iconic style.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Its biggest surprise is under the hood in the form of the infamous Hellephant crate engine, a 7-liter Dodge V8 with supercharged power that offers around 1000 hp and 950 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Top Gear’s tuning correspondent goes through the details of the restomod muscle car and the qualities run deeper than just the engine.<\/p>\n

One of the more impressive things about the car is its carbon fiber tub construction, making it super light, rigid and having more in common with a Ferrari supercar than a muscle car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Its interior uses 3D printing for the dials switches and other custom parts, while the engine bay is also pared-back and the Hellephant engine looks clean and unobstructed by wires or cables.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SpeedKore took pains to make the car to Ralph’s spec, which meant that it needs to look low, clean and almost like a moving image.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Getting based off of icons from film and media, this favorite of the Stellantis designer took a lot of blood, sweat, tears and presumably cash to turn around, but now it sits in an undisclosed location, looking badass and ready for the drag strip.<\/p>\n
