SpeedKore’s All-Carbon Chrysler Pacifica Hellcat Is A 1500-HP M…

SpeedKore Performance Group is known for its suped-up custom muscle cars wrapped in carbon fiber, as well as some truly mouth watering custom renders. Now, Speedkore have once again teamed up with digital designer Abimelec Arellano to bring us another crazy addition to their “What If” series. It’s always a blast when Speedkore teams up with Abimelec Design to craft some truly whacked out concepts. They have us begging every time, please, Speedkore, make this a reality. For their latest render, Speedkore have shifted away from their usual trajectory of American muscle cars and brought us a Demon-powered 2023 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. But don’t be fooled into thinking this 1,514 hp minivan is somehow family friendly— Speedkore have nicknamed it “Baba Yaga,” after a witch from Slavic folklore that eats children. The supercharged HEMI V8 powered “Baba Yaga” is another hair-raising concept from Speedkore and Abimelec Design.

Speedkore and Abimelec Design are a match made in heaven. Remember last year, when the duo teamed up to bring us an all-carbon 1974 Cuda? Or earlier this May for Star Wars day, when they collaborated on a menacing—and hilarious—Buick GNX for Lord Vader himself. The Buick was complete with a “bespoke interior made from the finest Gungan and Ewok hides.” That particular concept would be hard to bring to life, especially with the ejector seat and E88 blasters. SpeedKore and Abimelec Design’s latest collaboration keeps up with their previous high-concept American car insanity by putting an absolute beast of an engine inside a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica. Let’s take a closer look at how the “Baba Yaga” was born.

Beginning with a stock 2023 Chrysler Pacifica, the car has a 3.6-liter V6. The gasoline engine puts out a humble 296 hp, or 260 hp in the hybrid model. The car comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available in the gasoline model, although only front-wheel drive is offered in the hybrid model. Speedkore promised their minivan would be “roasting tires,” so most of that power will be going to the rear wheels on the “Baba Yaga.”

In creating the “Baba Yaga,” SpeedKore followed the philosophy of “reduce weight, add power.” The performance car maker succeeded in dropping a full 1,000 pounds from the Pacifica Baba Yaga. This is thanks in no small part to the SpeedKore-Built aerospace grade carbon fiber that the car’s body is entirely made of. Oh, and they’ve probably removed the rear seats, so don’t even think about taking your kids to school in this. While SpeedKore were customizing the body in full carbon fiber, they also added a few aesthetic touches, just to make the car even cooler. Enlarged fender flares bring a more aggressive look to the car, as do the wider grille and fascia openings. The darkened taillights pair nicely with the gray exterior. They also work to bring a more menacing look to the car, worthy of its witchy name. A hood scoop succeeds in enhancing that look as well. It will also bring better aeration to the insane HEMI V8 engine that is going underneath the hood. Finally, SpeedKore have also added SRT and Hellcat badging, in case anyone thought this was a normal Pacifica minivan. There are some aesthetic similarities with Abimelec Design's previous render of a Chrysler Pacifica Hellcat.

SpeedKore really took the “add power” portion of their philosophy very seriously. The Dodge Hellcat engine was a great place to start, with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 churning out 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. This is a nice improvement from the Pacifica’s stock power. However, Dodge took this engine even further with the Demon model, bringing the horsepower up to 1,025. It's that same engine from the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 that is the Baba Yaga’s beating heart.

If you thought 1,025 hp was enough power, SpeedKore didn’t stop there. They tuned the HEMI V8 to Biblical proportions with what they call their “Lilith Package,” named after the primordial mother of all demons. This tuning package brings the supercharged V8 to an insane 1,513 hp.

At this point, the stock Pacifica 9-speed automatic transmission would be torn to shreds. SpeedKore have instead replaced it with an 8-speed ZF transmission worthy of the demonic amount of horsepower. The Pacifica doesn’t ride on chicken legs, either, unlike Baba Yaga’s house. The SRT wheels tear up the pavement with Michelin tires. It might even be able to go head-to-head with this F1 Renault Espace minivan. We hope SpeedKore are inspired enough to make this creation a reality. After all, it would be sure to deliver on their promise of “setting lap records, roasting tires and putting a pep in your step.” Just be sure to keep your kids far away.
