"Classic musclecars might turn heads on nostalgia alone, but every so often a builder comes along and reimagines what those icons can be. XV Motorsports has done exactly that with this 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible Restomod - a pro-touring machine that blends raw Mopar heritage with modern performance. Presented by SBX Cars, this build isn't just a restored cruiser; it's a fully reengineered driving experience, ready to light up any stretch of pavement."
"At first glance, the Challenger looks like a clean, well-preserved drop-top from Detroit's golden age. The metallic blue paint, which shimmers with a subtle iridescence, keeps things unmistakably vintage. But pop the hood, and the illusion ends. Underneath sits a 6.1-liter naturally aspirated HEMI V8 pushing 600 horsepower - the kind of power that makes modern muscle feel a little nervous."
The 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible Restomod pairs classic exterior cues and a metallic blue finish with modern high-performance hardware. A 6.1-liter naturally aspirated HEMI V8 produces 600 horsepower and breathes through a functional Shaker hood. Power is controlled by a 6-speed manual transmission and a gear-driven limited-slip differential for an engaging, analog driving feel. A fully modernized chassis, suspension, and upgraded braking systems deliver balance, predictability, and cornering capability consistent with a pro-touring build. The overall package emphasizes spirited driving, blending raw Mopar heritage with contemporary refinement and capability on road and track.
