A number of companies built the classic Dodge Charger using original or custom chassis, though the ExoMod Concept has taken a different approach. The Greenville, Pennsylvania-based company took a modern Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat chassis and then added the classic Charger body — made of carbon fiber.
The ExoMod Charger body mimics the wide-body 1968 Charger, and thanks to its carbon fiber construction, it helps shed 400 pounds of the Challenger’s donor curb weight while increasing rigidity and rigidity. The resulting design, which took 1,500 hours to complete, is about four inches wider than the regular Challenger.
ExoMod doesn’t stop at the body. The company also added serious performance via a 1,000-hp upgrade for its donor car’s 6.2-liter supercharged V-8. The upgrade was handled by Hennessey Performance and included changes to the supercharger, fuel, intake and exhaust system.
No changes have been made to the interior. The build also retains the stock wheels and Brembo brakes.

“Our signature wide-body 1968 Charger is a modern supercar powered by a 1,000 hp V-8 tuned by Hennessey Performance,” Rick Katzeff, CEO of ExoMod, said in a statement.
The 1,000-hp output ExoMod restomod charger is priced at $379,000. The company plans to limit production to just 10 examples.
For buyers who missed out, ExoMod is considering the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona as a follow-up and is currently receiving expressions of interest.
