by Exomod Presents a Unique Project Based on the Dodge Challenger
The Exomod atelier, known for its “reverse restomods” where modern cars acquire the appearance of classic models, has presented its most ambitious project. The base was the modern Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak, which was given the look of a 1960s car.
The project was named Prometheus, after the mythical character who stole fire from the gods. The car makes a dramatic first impression, which is backed up by serious technical potential.
Exterior Inspired by the Past
The car’s body, entirely made of dark carbon fiber with a Kandy Apple Red tint, is the central element. The front end of the standard Challenger was completely redesigned: LED headlights are hidden behind a black radiator grille mesh.
The Exomod masters also installed a custom hood, modified door panels, reprofiled pillars, and an original rear window. While exposed carbon fiber was not characteristic of the muscle car era, here it works, giving the classic shape a modern charm.
Exposed carbon fiber was not in fashion during the muscle car era, but it works here, giving the classic shape a modern look.
The look is complemented by 20-inch Forgeline wheels and Brembo braking mechanisms with six-piston calipers, hinting at the power hidden under the hood.
The Heart of a Modern Monster
Under the retro shell beats the heart of a modern monster. Since the base is the Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak, Prometheus is equipped with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. However, Exomod decided to go further and enlisted Hennessey to install the H1000 package.
The H1000 package from Hennessey increases power to 1000 horsepower and torque to 948 pound-feet, figures worthy of a supercar.
This allowed increasing power to 1000 horsepower and torque to 948 pound-feet. The car’s weight is not disclosed, but the new carbon shell likely allowed shedding some mass. At the same time, they managed to retain the standard Dodge safety systems and technologies, such as the rearview camera.
Interior Updates
Most of the interior remained unchanged, however Exomod reupholstered the seats with new brown leather featuring a “baseball” stitch. New brown trim also appeared on the door panels with contrasting Old Gold stitching.
This project clearly demonstrates how the spirit of a past era can be combined with the technologies and materials of today. The use of carbon fiber not only reduces weight but also serves as a visual accent, emphasizing the car’s exclusivity. The increase in power to supercar levels makes Prometheus not just a stylized restomod, but a true high-performance car capable of competing with the best. Such projects expand the understanding of automotive tuning, showing that reverence for classic design can go hand in hand with radical technical upgrades.
