Vilner Gives Challenger Hellcat a Super Classy Makeover

Unique Modifications

Vilner, a Bulgarian tuning company, doesn't really discriminate when it comes to car makes or models. They'll happily modify just about anything, in fact. And that now includes the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, too. This particular Challenger wasn't quite unique enough for its owner in stock form, so they enlisted Vilner to transform in a number of interesting ways. And judging by the finished product, they certainly accomplished that mission.

Demon Inspired

On the outside, that process began with a matte red wrap that certainly looks fantastic. The owner also wanted a set of Demon logos on the doors, for whatever reason. But hey, to each their own. And as it turns out, the Demon is what motivated the owner to modify his Hellcat in the first place.

Different Project

"I remember the first time I heard that sound,"  said Vilner owner/operator Atanas Vilner. "I opened the garage door and then I saw it - I saw the Demon straight into the eyes and at that moment I realized I’ve got myself a very, very different project, and a challenging one for sure. When the owner of the vehicle called me a few weeks before for the first time, he went straightforward saying he wanted his beloved to receive a new look from us. He didn’t mention any details, not even the brand of the car! He just insisted we transform it and days later he showed up at the atelier just like that - with a lot of noise and not a single notice in advance."

Nicely Contrasted

Interestingly, however, the bulk of the work completed on this Challenger lies inside the cabin. There, you'll find recovered seats with uniquely patterned leather, along with Demon logos on the headrests. Red seat belts, stitching, and SRT logos are everywhere, adding a nice bit of contrast to the otherwise all-black interior, too.

Luxurious Insides

Parts of the seats were also covered in Alcantara, while there are a host of carbon fiber pieces throughout the cabin. The overall look is extremely unique, and quite luxurious compared to a stock Challenger's insides. Which clearly makes this one of the more unique builds we've seen in some time.

Soulful Work

"We started by stripping the interior, piece by piece, as if we’ve begun to reveal the true soul of the Demon," Vilner explained. "Then came the time to dress it up again, not in Prada, but in something that even Mrs. Prada herself wouldn’t have thought of. We had to make sure that just by someone looking at the interior will instantly recognize that there is no other than one of the most powerful engines on earth hiding under the hood, we wanted to show its power even when the car isn’t moving, even when it’s heart is not pumping gasoline at a few thousand RPM’s per second."

Comfort Cruising

Despite the few Demon mods located throughout this Challenger, Vilner left the drivetrain and suspension alone. Not that a stock Hellcat is slow, by any means. But at the end of the day, this car's owner is clearly cruising around in much more comfort than your average Hellcat driver. Or Demon, for that matter.
