In the 1960s and 1970s, an American rear-drive car with a V-type 8-cylinder engine full of horsepower and muscular lines quietly caught the eyes of North American consumers. The people of North America affectionately call them Music Car, and they have shown the whole world the enthusiasm and freedom of American automobile culture.
But then due to the shortcomings of high fuel consumption, American muscle cars became niche, and it was difficult to see them in the streets and alleys, and instead they were built to cater to the market. But even so, there are still some "hard bones" who are not willing to hide their strength just for the sake of livelihood, so today we will talk to you about a few of the few powered warhorses today.
Number1
Mustang Bullitt
Speaking of the high-horsepower Ford Mustang, it is estimated that many people will think of the famous Shelby for the first time. The Cobra logo is certainly eye-catching, but there is actually a more interesting version of Mustang - Bullitt.
In 2019, Ford Mustang unveiled the Bullitt 50th Anniversary Edition model, powered by a 5.0-liter V-8-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 470 hp and a peak torque of 617 Nm, as well as the most powerful cross-plane crankshaft Coyote to date under its bonnet.
Bullitt uses the same six-speed manual transmission used by the Mustang GT, inheriting not only the power of The Mustang roaring, but also the original handling pleasure of the 70s muscle car, which is responsive to steering and braking; All it takes is a small but precise throttle to get impressive speed, which is probably what Mustang is looking for.
The Mustang Bullitt's engine speed is below 4,000 rpm to produce a pronounced V8 rhythm, but at this point you might think the 5.0-liter engine has some softness, but it's just a disguise for its true strength.
The new Coyote 5.0-litre V-8-cylinder engine really unleashes its potential at speeds above 6,000 rpm, and reaching its torque peak is where the car's real driving pleasure lies.
The 1968 Hollywood classic tough guy movie "Police Mesh Iron King Kong" brought the sales of Ford Mustang to a climax, and the lead actor Steve McQueen was driving the 1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt in the film. And 50 years later, Steve McQueen's granddaughter officially unveiled the new Mustang Bullitt Special Edition at the Ford Night event. Bullitt not only inherits the classic elements of Ford Mustang for a long time, but also brings a different color to today's muscle car market.
Number2
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
If you are a big fan of "Fast and Furious", then I believe that the Dodge Challenger that has not been introduced in the three major muscle cars must also be a regret in your heart. As the homerunner of the SRT performance division, the challenger SRT Demon has been touted for many years as "the world's fastest production car".
The Challenger SRT Demon is powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V-type 8-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 808 horsepower, which can even reach 840 horsepower after unlocking, and the peak torque can reach a terrifying 1044 Nm, which is a real power monster.
It takes only 2.3 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h at maximum power, and in straight-line acceleration, the SRT Demon has surpassed many supercars.
In fact, SRT is not the first performance-seeking department of Dodge, as chrysler had a group of engineers who were passionate about performance long before SRT.
They made a big deal of modifications to commercially available vehicles and drove them to different events. This group of engineers bought a 1949 Plymouth Coupe, and after their careful modification and tuning, they created the hemi engine at the core of today's Challenger Demo, and laid the foundation for the Challenger SRT Demon to become the muscle car classic of our time.
Number3
Hennessy The Exorcist
While the Dodge Demon flaunted its unrivalled power, Hennessy, a well-known Modification Factory in the United States, released its own super muscle car, The Exorcist.
Powerful sports cars should not be the exclusive of the original factory, and the romantic muscle car should be even more so.
The Exorcist is based on the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, but Hennessy is not satisfied with the original power of the ZL1, so it has made drastic optimizations for the LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V-type 8-cylinder engine on the ZL1.
After a series of processes such as replacing the high-flow intake system, strengthening the cylinder upper seat and camshaft, upgrading the stainless steel intake pipe, increasing the central cooler and strengthening the transmission shaft, this thousand-horse beast should be born.
The real scary thing about The Exorcist power isn't just the 1000 horsepower it explodes when it reaches 6400 rpm, it can even burst out a staggering 1200 horsepower when it burns E85 ethanol biofuel and makes it 6800 rpm, which can also produce more than 1300 Nm when it is maintained at 4500 rpm.
It has a maximum power of about twice that of the BMW M5 and is expected to complete the 100-kilometer acceleration in 2.3 seconds, becoming the only muscle car that can surpass the classic and defeat the "devil".
Number4
Preserve the beauty of the street
In our day and age, practicality has become an important factor in choosing a vehicle. Indeed, on the increasingly congested roads, how to meet the needs of a family has become a factor that we should consider more than horsepower. But is it because of our thinking that the vehicles we buy are more and more losing the personality they should have? Whether it's a JDM or a "horsepower supreme" muscle car, if I can, I still hope that the streets and alleys can retain the variety and variety it should have.
