One of the coolest restomods ever...if you can even call it a restomod. It's basically an entirely new car. This is what a lot of us would do with infinite money...take our favorite car, replace anything metal with carbon fiber, use the best suspension available, and massive power. Epic.

Ralph Gilles is the designer that I've always admired. From his humble background, Haitian roots, the fact that as a kid he drew sketches of cars and sended it to Chrysler Motor company and end up becoming a designer at the same company. He designed imho the finest of finest Viper. They should create a Netflix documentary of this man. Thank you Ralph! 🙌🏾

Love the fact this fella has access to such amazing cars and has a 1.9 205gti in his collection. You know he understands cars more than big power and big displacement. Great to see 👍👍
-
Peugeot 205 GTi in the garage, this man knows his cars. It's one of the best handling cars ever. Like Robs presenting, genuine, no bullshit or drama, and knows what goes into these builds.
-
Not only is it an amazing build, but Ralph seems like one hell of a nice guy! And him raining down on the throttle at the end just made me smile.
-
Ralph you are a legend! Very nice piece of art you made there! My hats are off well done my friend!
-
If Dahm is a permanent fixture of TG now I'm going to have to start watching again. The two episodes I've watched on YT have been great.
-
I personally think this is gonna be the new trend in cars over the next 10 years. Classics built with modern tech.
-
This car and the Gen 4 & 5 Vipers are the only dodge products I’d ever buy/own. What a beautiful machine. This is coming from a Z06 owner. Well done.
-
Literally, and I MEAN LITERALLY, this is my dream auto. Take both kidneys, my house, my wife and the kids... This '68 is charger is the Greatest Automobile Ever Made. Sweet baby jesvs!
-
Being a UK car guy, I usually skip a lot of these "American tuned" videos but this machine is just WOW
-
Ralph’s vision is always a sight to behold. So much detail.
-
Hellephant reminds me of Hoonicorn. Good times watching that car being built. This is like its younger cousin
-
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
-
Real muscle car!
-
I saw this car during the Power Tour and it is simply spectacular. Seeing it close up just blows you away. Also, calling Ralph a nice guy is a vast understatement. I really enjoyed meeting him outside the hotel . He answered all my questions about the car and even asked me about mine.
-
This guy is living what I grew up dreaming to live, has motivated me to get back on this path to make it my reality. Thank you! Beautiful cars!
-
Absolutely beautiful, what a piece of moving art! Props to Ralph and SpeedKore!
-
That is a beautiful rolling piece of art. You can see his passion for design throughout this build. Simply amazing.
