1970 Dodge Charger Body Made From Carbon Fiber Has A Porsche 911 Turbo Price Tag

In August, Dodge announced it wouldintroduce a full carbon fiber bodyfor the 1970Dodge Charger, made by the experts over at Finale Speed. The incredible lightweight creation is now available for purchase at an eye-watering $199,000 - more than a brand new 911 Turbo Cabriolet.

The Oklahoma-based custom car specialist has gone to great lengths to create something incredible. The bodies have been designed to original Charger specifications and are made out of prepreg autoclave-cured carbon. This isn't all you get for your money, though. According to the Dodge Direct Connection Performance website, the custom chassis will be fitted with a supercharged 6.2-liter Dodge Hellcat Crate engine.

Buyers can then opt to add whatever transmission takes their fancy, be it an engaging manual 'box or a laid-back automatic gearbox. Finale Speed notes the full chassis boasts Mopar-licensed replacement metal on the inner structure and the driveshaft safety loop for increased rigidity and structural integrity.

Other key components have also been modernized - as you'd expect at this price point - with coil-over suspension and disc brakes providing a safer, more exciting driving experience. If you wish, Forgeline three-piece wheels and tires can be specified for an additional $12,500.

The carbon fiber body receives a flat finish, but for $20,000, Finale Speed will happily give the Charger body a clear coat.
