Kevin Hart's New Hellcat-Powered Barracuda Is A Work Of Art

Kevin Hart’s New Hellcat-Powered Barracuda Is A Work Of Art

July 21, 2019

If you’ve been a Restomods reader for a while now, you’ll have heard me wax lyrical about the Plymouth Barracuda a lot. I’m far from the only person with an almost pathological love of the ‘Cuda. Apparently, Kevin Hart also shares this fondness. The comedian got himself a Hellcat-powered Barracuda for his 40th birthday, and it’s truly spectacular.

To start off, the 1970 Barracuda, named Menace, was built by Speedkore, who make some superb machines. For most people, simply owning a Speedkore Barracuda would be enough, but apparently not for Hart. He enlisted HP Tuners and Gearhead Fabrications to do a bit more work on the car. When we say a bit more, what we actually mean is quite a lot more. The most important modification is that Hellcat in question, fitted by HP. Providing the Barracuda with 707 horsepower, which is fed through a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. This transmission, found on Hellcat Chargers and Challengers, gives Hart plenty of power on tap.
