SpeedKore Unleashes 1,525 HP Twin-turbo Widebody Charger at SEMA

SpeedKore Performance Group unveils monster all-carbon, all-wheel-drive, twin-turbo Dodge Charger in Vegas.

It was mere weeks ago when we learned that SpeedKore Performance was cooking up something extra special for SEMA 2019. Which was no surprise, really, given the fact that this is the same builder that conjured up a world-beating carbon-fiber-bodied Demon that ran 8.77 at 162 mph last year.

This year, they’re upping the ante even further with perhaps their most insane creation yet (and that’s really saying something) – this wild carbon-bodied, all-wheel-drive, twin-turbo Dodge Charger.

First, we have to talk about the elephant, ahem Hemi, in the room. SpeedKore went all-out in that department, sticking a highly modified crate 6.2-liter Demon engine in there. We already knew that horsepower would crest the century mark, but SpeedKore blew that away completely.

Along with a pair of turbos, the evil mill uses three fuel pumps and massive 1700cc injectors to feed it copious amounts of E85. Coupled with a custom intake, heads, and Magnaflow exhaust, total output is an astounding 1,525 horsepower on 26 pounds of boost.

That power is evenly distributed to all four wheels through a custom transfer case and carbon fiber driveshafts to a set of sticky Mickey Thompson ET Street tires. Which, as you might imagine, should make it lightning quick off the line. This is especially true when you consider the fact that SpeedKore put this Charger on a big-time diet.

Carbon fiber is everywhere on this build, from the bumpers to the hood and rear diffuser. And all of those pieces were molded using the Charger Hellcat Widebody as a reference. The result is an absolutely sinister, lightweight, yet OEM-looking machine. And perhaps one heck of a sleeper. So long as you don’t uncork the catless/muffler-less pipes protruding from the front bumper.

Yes, SpeedKore built what is, perhaps, the ultimate Charger. The nastiest, most sinister thing we’ve seen since, well, their record-breaking Demon. But there’s still a lot to see here at SEMA 2019. And we here at Dodge Forum will be here all week blessing you with coverage, so stay tuned!
