Ringbrothers, a custom car builder and parts manufacturer, has introduced a new custom vehicle named “TUSK,” which is a remastered version of the 1969 Dodge Charger. The vehicle has been engineered with carbon-fiber components, a modern chassis, and suspension, along with Mopar’s Hellephant engine, which has 1,000 horsepower. The Hellephant engine is limited to 100 units and has a 426 cubic inch (7.0-liter) supercharged V8 that delivers 950 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels. The transmission is a Bowler TREMEC T-56 Magnum six-speed manual, and the driveshaft is made of custom carbon-fiber by QA1 REV Series.
The vehicle has undergone extensive customization, including a one-piece exposed carbon-fiber surround at the front end and a single piece of billet machined chrome trim. The front and rear bumpers have been modified, and other customizations include new door skins, extended and lowered rocker panels, and a custom driveline tunnel. The vehicle took over 5,000 hours to complete.
The exterior paint is BASF Glasurit’s “Black to the Future,” and the vehicle features Fox RS SV coilovers at all four corners. The braking system is from Baer Brakes Extreme 6S with six-piston calipers. The interior of the vehicle includes a custom leather interior, a carbon-fiber console, and a custom carbon-fiber “pistol grip” shifter. The interior was designed by Upholstery Unlimited and includes a Gentex rearview mirror, Dakota Digital gauges, and a Vintage Air Gen IV climate-control system.
