A Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is for sale in the UK which recently won the award for best car in the Gumball 3000. The competition, in addition to the race itself, is also known for its participants coating their machines with eye-catching “paintings” of war” to vinyl.
This Hellcat won the award for best car precisely this year, and it's not hard to see why. The huge muscle car was inspired by one of the most iconic decorations that went through the world rally championship, recreating the Alitalia color scheme used by the fantastic Lancia Stratos.
It's just that you can't even tell one from the other...
Heresy or homage? They couldn't be more different machines. But we cannot deny the excellence of the final result. And it wasn't just about recreating Alitalia's decor. As you can see, the look of the decor looks definitely deteriorated over time.
Scratches, scratches, cracked plastics and even rust fill the entire coating, masterfully applied. The level of detail is truly impressive. It's like this Hellcat has been forgotten on the street for years. Or as Americans say: “It has some lovely patina”.
To top it off, and just like on the Lancia Stratos, the wheels have also been painted yellow and have a set of four extra headlamps at the front.
Otherwise, it's the Hellcat we know and adore. A muscle car in the best tradition of the term, equipped with the Supercharged 6.2-liter V8, a demonic 717 horsepower and tires too narrow to put them on the road. This unit comes coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For those interested, this Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is being sold by Amari, it is from 2015 and has just over 10 thousand kilometers. The price is around 67,161 euros, plus euro minus euro.
