1970 Dodge Charger ‘Ghost’ Restomod By SpeedKore Is Hellcat Powered Perfection
the SpeedKore Ghost is a meticulously crafted restomod boasting a 700+ horsepower Hellcat HEMI V8 and a bespoke lightweight chassis.
SpeedKore Does it Again
SpeedKore has long been synonymous with carbon-fiber rebodies of vintage muscle cars, with notable creations such as Kevin Hart's "Hellraiser" and the Fast & Furious-inspired "Hellacious." Their latest masterpiece, the "Ghost," follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, combining mechanical prowess with artistic finesse.
The Artistry and Power Under the Hood
The Ghost is more than a high-performance machine; it's a work of art. Fueled by a "re-worked" 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 delivering over 700 horsepower to the rear wheels, SpeedKore's lightweight custom chassis ensures an exhilarating driving experience. Jim Kacmarcik, SpeedKore's president, emphasizes the evolution of Ghost and the company's mission to redefine the essence of an American muscle car.
Precision in Every Detail
Ghost's meticulous construction involves a collaboration with renowned aftermarket suppliers. HRE provides the wheels, Brembo handles the brakes, and the suspension is a fusion of parts from Penske, Detroit Speed, Woodward, and SpeedKore's in-house components. The interior showcases a level of detail befitting a movie hero car, reinforcing the car's status as a modern-day classic.
Ghost's Allure
The Ghost's allure lies not only in its power but in its attention to detail. Clad in a ghostly white paint, the carbon-fiber body, including wheel tubs, rests on a robust 4x2-inch steel SpeedKore chassis with a 14-point roll cage. The front suspension employs a double A-arm setup from Detroit Speed, while the rear features a custom-designed four-bar diagonal system by SpeedKore.
Braking and Traction for the Modern Muscle
Braking performance is entrusted to Brembo's six-piston calipers at the front and dual four-piston calipers at the rear, gripping sizable rotors. Custom HRE wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, ensure optimal grip. This amalgamation of modern technology and classic design positions the Ghost as a fully-built modern muscle car with undeniable old-school cool.
A New Chapter in Muscle Car Evolution
Jim Kacmarcik's vision for Ghost signifies a new chapter in muscle car evolution. He states, "Our goal is to meld timeless design, advanced composites, and reliable performance to redefine what the American muscle car should be." This commitment to innovation and heritage solidifies Ghost's place as the most advanced 1970 Dodge Charger in the world.
Pricing TBA
While the pricing of the Ghost remains undisclosed, it's evident that SpeedKore's latest creation is poised to enter the realm of high-end builds. With a track record of six-figure masterpieces, the Ghost stands as a testament to SpeedKore's ability to seamlessly blend classic charm with cutting-edge technology, captivating enthusiasts and redefining the expectations of American muscle cars.
