A legendary stand-up comedian and a beloved actor, Kevin Hart is also a huge petrolhead. He’s the proud owner of a mouth-watering car collection, and one of his most insane rides is a restomodded 1970 Dodge Charger that packs a 1,000-hp 426 Hellephant V8 under the hood.
From the outside, this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera looks just like any other. However, it is actually powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and is up for sale. This 996-gen 911 Carrera originally left the factory with a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six pumping out 300 hp and 258 lb-ft, but the seller decided to replace it with an LS3 V8 roughly 5,000 miles ago. This new engine is good for 495 hp and 473 lb-ft of torque and is coupled to the standard Porsche six-speed manual transmission. The new engine is far from the only change made to the car. To support the V8, the 911 also features an upgraded cooling system as well as an electric water pump, electric power steering, Eibach springs and sway bars, Bilstein B8 Performance Plus struts, and Flowmaster mufflers.

SpeedKore Like the SpeedKore's Evolution model, the Hellraiser Charger comes with an exposed carbon fiber body created using scans of the original 1970s Charger's body parts. They aren't exact replicas, however. SpeedKore has given the Hellcharger some subtle custom styling by the rain gutters for a cleaner look, fitted a custom taillight panel, and integrated the twin exhaust tips. The tips are at the end of a custom exhaust system, and there's more performance spec equipment under the bodywork. The bodywork is fixed to a custom frame, and power is spread to the wheels by a Ground Effects prepped Ford 9-inch rear axle. The chassis rides on Detroit Speed prepped C6 Corvette suspension at the front and custom a custom SpeedKore setup at the back. Stopping power is delivered by Brembo six-pot brakes at the front and four-pots at the rear.
Expanded Speedworks programme headlines 2021 TBL list 3 months ago BTCC organisers TOCA have revealed that all 29 TOCA BTCC Licences (TBLs) for 2021 have been allocated. What should have been a 30 car field last year ultimately dropped down to 26 cars as a full season entry after Simpson Racing ended its programme, and both WSR and Power Maxed Racing were forced to amend plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With TOCA electing to retain the Simpson Racing licence, the remaining TBLs will all be used for the upcoming campaign in a 29 car entry that features a number of changes compared to 2020. The headline news is that Speedworks will expand to a two-car programme having acquired a second TBL from AmD Tuning after it merged with Motorbase, with AmD’s second 2020 licence being added to the three already held by Motorbase for a new four-car programme.
