Wild Horses: Ten Incredible 1000+ Horsepower Restomods

March 31, 2018

1036 Horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin

Produced by famed restomods specialists Ringbrothers, this Javelin flies like its Olympian namesake. Under the hood, there’s a Wegner Motorsports 6.2 liter Hemi V8, but that’s far from the last of it. This engine has been fitted with a 4.5 liter Whipple blower. Do not ask why, ask why not. Anyways, the total power output of this insane restomod is 1036 horsepower, and, as you’d expect, that’s necessitated a lot of other changes. The chassis is a Detroit Custom job, created for a Camaro, while the suspension’s been upgraded to a four-link custom system with sway bars.

The motor is mated to a Bowler auto transmission, and a Flowmaster exhaust system. The brakes are six-piston Baer jobs, which should provide enough stopping power. The interior’s been given the once over too, featuring custom seats, Vintage Air, and Classics Instruments gauges. Essentially a concept of what the Javelin would be, were it released today, this is one of my favorite projects of 2017.
