SpeedKore has announced that it would soon release “Fast & Furious’s” 1968 Dodge Charger, a mid-engine vehicle specially made for the latest film of “F9.” This vehicle was the one that was iconic for Dominic Torreto in the latest film of the franchise, and the people who made it are calling it “Hellacious” because of its insane performance.

Dominic Torreto, a.k.a. Dom, played by Vin Diesel, is one of the most iconic characters in the “Fast & Furious” saga, which has earned them a massive franchise in the modern age. What sets him apart from other characters is that Dom is a known car mechanic and tuner, which knows his way around vehicles and prefers the classic muscles of the past.
Dom is known to be a “muscle-only” guy in all of the films, so in each film, the muscle cars made for his character always tend to top the last.
And for F9, it is the 1968 Dodge Charger dubbed as “Hellacious” from SpeedKore, which features all the necessary nooks and crannies needed by the character for the adrenaline-pumping performance he brings.

SpeedKore is known to create neo-retro designs, meaning that it fuses old-school looks to newfound tech that would complete a vehicle to be more appropriate for the present. However, this does not entirely sacrifice its classification as a classic vehicle, which is an important factor as it is also a slight restoration of the Charger.
The Hellacious ’68 Charger features almost the same build as SpeedKore’s earlier build of the 1967 Shelby Mustang, which features a carbon fiber body, which effectively makes the vehicle lighter. Additionally, the Hellcat engine was untouched by SpeedKore and featured the same 707bhp output it brings to the table.
The engine was brought from the front engine bay to the back seats right beside the driver, effectively making it a mid-engine with a better and low center of gravity, giving it more stability. A wide-body kit, roll cage, and classic instrument cluster also completes the look.
Of course, the vehicle is performance-based, with Brembo disc brakes and has a drift-specific handbrake and a closer ‘Superlite’ stick shift to the driver for more control. Tires are “thicc” with 275 in the front and 345 in the rear.

Case in point, this would not be a regular cruising car for groups of friends, as this Hellacious beast is built for performance.
‘F9’s’ Hellacious Charger Price and Release

The release date and price are currently unknown, but tune in to SpeedKore for when it sells.
