00:09This is a reinvention that left even Dodge engineers speechless when it debuted at SEMA
00:15and instantly won the coveted Gran Turismo Award.
00:19From a quiet Swedish garage, Ericsson turned a classic Charger into a monster the world had never imagined.
00:26This custom Charger RTR is what happens when you mix passion, skill, and just a bit of madness.
00:33Under that Viking blood red hood beats an 8.4 liter V10.
00:38Yes, the same heart that powers the Dodge Viper, pushing this beast to a brutal 1,500 horsepower.
00:46From the outside, it still looks like a classic 68 Charger, but underneath it's actually sitting on a Corvette C6
00:52chassis.
00:53Yeah, a Chevy frame under a Dodge body.
00:55Five years of madness, obsession, and sweat.
00:59That's what it took Johan Ericsson to shape this Charger unlike anything on Earth.
01:10This is the only car that scared the competition and humiliated the sport itself.
01:15So fast it got banned from the very stage it was built to dominate.
01:24Born from Ford's warpath to crush the Corvette and mop the floor with Mopars, this car wasn't made for comfort.
01:31It was made to intimidate.
01:32Under the hood, a 427 cubic inch FEV8 ripped straight from Ford's NASCAR playbook.
01:400 to 60 in under 4 seconds, quarter mile in the low 11s, and with a top speed over 160
01:46miles per hour.
01:47Today, the Fairlane Thunderbolt is a ghost of forbidden power.
01:50A rare beast that reminds us what happens when engineers go rogue and build without mercy.
01:56It's not just a car.
01:57It's a weapon Ford unleashed on the world, and then had to lock away.
02:07This is the only Mustang on the planet that was literally built to defy gravity.
02:13A Hollywood monster that went from silver screen shine to pure outlaw reality.
02:18The car that made Nicholas Hage look untouchable, and made everyone else want to become a car thief.
02:24Technically, a 67 fastback GT500, but with a 428 Cobra jet under the hood, pushing out over 400 horses, snarling
02:33through dual exhausts.
02:34It wasn't built to drive.
02:36It was built to fly, from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, wrapped in rubber wide enough to plant
02:42every bit of her power to the ground.
02:44Underneath, the suspension was stiffened and sharpened, built to keep her locked to the asphalt, even when her speed tried
02:51to pull her into the sky.
02:53Even today, she's the most stunning Mustang to ever light up the big screen.
03:02This is the most lethal track car Ford ever built.
03:06A flat-plane beast that sounds more like a fighter jet than a muscle car.
03:10Meet the Shelby GT350R.
03:13Honestly, calling this a Mustang is almost an insult.
03:17Under the hood hides a 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft.
03:22It screams all the way to 8,200 revolutions per minute, making it one of the greatest-sounding V8s in
03:29history.
03:30And it's not just noise.
03:31Sitting on ultralight carbon fiber wheels, massive Brembo brakes, and aggressive aero,
03:37it grips the track like nothing else in its class.
03:39Here's the absolute best part.
03:41It only came with a six-speed manual.
03:44No automatics, no fake engine noise, just a pure, raw mechanical connection.
03:50This isn't just a car.
03:51It's Carroll Shelby's ultimate legacy.
04:00This is the most dangerous production car in American history.
04:04A factory-built weapon so violently overpowered, the racing authorities took one look at the time slip,
04:10tore up the rulebook, and literally banned it before the public could even buy it.
04:15Meet the Dodge Demon SRT-170.
04:18From the moment Dodge revealed it, the message was clear.
04:21This wasn't built to play fair.
04:23At its heart sits a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8.
04:27But calling it a normal Hemi would be a lie.
04:29Running on E85, it delivers an outrageous 1,025 horsepower,
04:35making it the most powerful production V8 ever offered to the public.
04:39Everything about it was designed for one purpose, straight-line destruction.
04:44It blasts from 0 to 60 in just 1.66 seconds.
04:48And believe me, in the right circumstances,
04:51the Demon 170 could be the fastest factory-built drag racer in the world.
