The world’s first all-carbon-fiber 1970 Dodge Charger breaks the internet

The Dodge Charger is a pretty cool car at the best of times.

The muscle car, which has become a thing of legend, was first produced from 1966 to 1978. Then, from 1981 to 1987. And finally, after an 18-year absence, it was reintroduced in 2005 and made continuously since.

To many, it’s the second-generation Charger that captured hearts and imaginations the world over, with its iconic, smooth-yet-aggressive design.

And now, one of the most unique Chargers ever made has just been released.

Charging into history: the Charger origin story

The Charger first hit the streets in mid-1966, with Dodge looking to make a ‘Pony’ style car with a fastback roof to compete with the success of the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Corvette.

Whilst the first generation Dodge Charger wasn’t a hit, the second generation was much more popular.

Made from 1968 to 1970, the Charger was a huge hit, with over 96,000 models produced.

It came in a variety of engine options, including V8 and six-cylinder engines.

The standard V8 was a 318 cubic-inch V8 that made 230bhp. The most powerful option (available in the R/T and Daytona models) was a 440 cubic-inch Hemi V8, good for 375bhp and over 480lbs of torque.

Furthermore, popular culture (especially ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’, which featured a ’69 R/T Charger) helped solidify the Charger as a legendary muscle car.

One-of-one, all-carbon Dodge Charger takes internet by storm

Now, though, there’s a new (old) Charger on the block – and it is creating a frenzy in the car community.

‘Blazin Rodz’, a custom car shop in Orange County, California, has created an all-carbon, one-of-one Charger.

Nicknamed ‘Sangria’, the boys from Orange County have taken a 1970 Charger, and customized it in nearly every way imaginable.

Unveiled at the SEMA auto show, ‘Sangria’ is all-carbon fiber, hence the nickname.

It also bears the serial no. 1 on every part of the car – the body, the chassis, and even the engine.

Hell’s Bells: ‘Hellephant’ tuned to perfection

Speaking of the engine, this thing looks like it was borne in the depths of hell itself.

Back in 2018, Dodge announced the “Hellephant”, a run of engines limited to just 100.

An all-aluminum, 426 cubic-inch engine with a 3.0-liter supercharger strapped to the top, this engine produces 1,000bhp and over 900 lbs of torque. Wow.

But it doesn’t end there. Although ‘Sangria’ features a ‘Hellephant’, the guys at ‘Blazin Rodz’ have tuned the Hellephant to produce over 1,500bhp. Yes, 1,500.

Many people talk about cars being unique, being individual, and being a one-of-one.

Well, the “Sangria” Dodge Charger might just be the most unique, one-of-one car that anyone can ever make.
