During the chase sequence in Edinburgh and Tbilisi, Dom drives a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, named 'Hellacious'. The car was completely built from scratch by SpeedKore Performance Group and costs over $1 million. The company supplied nine chassis and bodies for filming, but unlike those cars, Hellacious was built for road use. The 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V-8 is mounted in a custom frame, sending 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a Graziano gated-manual transaxle from a Lamborghini Gallardo. It also comes with the Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, hydraulic hand brake, custom MagnaFlow exhaust system, as well as new high-performance intercoolers and radiator. The car also sports custom HRE 18-inch "Hellacious" center-lock wheels with 275/35R18 front and 345/35R18 rear tires complete this purpose-built setup. "Hellacious" is rendered in full carbon fiber, just like SpeedKore's previous Chargers, but adds a bespoke widebody style by Sean Smith Designs. Pronounced fender cut-outs, unique body siding, and a glass rear hatch to expose the engine compartment complete the aggressive bodywork while BASF Glasurit matte-black paint adds sinister style. "This Charger is one of our most extreme builds to date," said Jim Kacmarcik, president and owner of SpeedKore. "After commissioning renowned designer Sean Smith to design the car and working with F9's picture vehicle coordinator Dennis McCarthy to build the nine chassis and vehicle bodies for the film, we wanted to bring the movie magic of F9 to life. 'Hellacious' is a road-going version of the movie car with the functionality of a purpose-built performance car."
