The name Speedkore is no stranger to BangShift readers as we have followed the company and its awesome innovations for years. The cars they have built, the carbon fiber work that they have created and continue to create is magical for so many reasons, but ultimately it is the quality and the innovation that we totally love. This is why when we head about Speedkore’s carbon fiber 1970 Charger and the fact that it carried a Hellephant engine, we were begging to see video. The team just put this thing on the dyno and good gravy is it angry. These were the initial pulls before tuning so we don’t see numbers per se but the company is expecting to have 900hp at the wheels when the car hits the streets.
The Hellephant is of course the 1,000 flywheel horsepower engine that Mopar dropped at SEMA a couple years back and that sold like hot cakes to really serious builders and hot rodders who had to have the ultimate factory crate engine. One of those in a normal car is cool, one in a lightweight, nearly perfectly factory looking car is wholly another and when you take the power, the weight, and the stance of this thing, you have a car that is very, very, special.
As nasty as this thing sounds on the dyno, the idle is absolutely evil. It has this base almost cackle to it that is wild. This video is not just some dyno pulls. You get a full tour of the car that the company calls “Evolution” and as they continue to innovate and refine their products, that name make sense. They evolve with each build.
The underside of this car may be more impressive than the top side, and that is saying something!
All it takes is unlimited money!
