On the back of the latest Fast & Furious movie release, Speedkore Performance Group, an American car performance company, celebrated the occasion with the Hellacious F9. Named F9 in reference to the movie's title, the all-American muscle car is a scale replica of the 1968 Dodge Charger owned by Dominic Toretto, one of the franchise's titular characters depicted by Vin Diesel.
The Hellacious F9 sports a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine set where the back seats would normally be. True to the vehicle's muscle car heritage, the powerful engine packs a stunning 707 horsepower along with 650 pound-feet of torque. The engine's power is offset by the Hellacious F9's smooth body, decked out in lightweight but durable carbon fiber. The design is polished off with a custom suspension system.
