Images of Justin Bieber‘s one-of-one custom Rolls Royce Wraith by West Coast Customs has just surfaced online. Inspired by the Rolls Royce 103EX Vision 100 that was unveiled four year ago, with similarities to the BMW Vision Next 100, the wraith sees a complete body makeover.
In an Instagram post, West Coast Customs shared images of the build with the caption: “After years of R&D, we created our own version of the 103EX. A futuristic, awe-inspiring, daily drivable Rolls Royce unlike any other.” The futurist car, with its fully covered wheels and low stance, appears to hover off the ground when driving. The boxy front and sides also help in emphasizing the fastback’s slope.
There’s no info yet on if there were any performance upgrade done to the engine but we do know that the entire interior has been redone. Check the video below where effspot spotted the automotive work of art in the wild.
Last month, automotive auction site Bring a Trailer listed an incredibly rare, once Paul Walker-owned BMW M1 AHG Studie, and it has just sold for an astonishing half a million dollars.
The 1980 M1 is just one of ten AHG Studie editions created from the car’s entire 453 unit run, which means it sports a homologated BMW racing livery alongside a set of 16” three-piece BBS wheels, and a wider and more angular body kit (most noticeable at the front). Alongside this, the BMW dealer AHG took the car’s M88 inline-six engine up from 277 HP to around 350 HP — which, as this car has only got 4,000 miles on the odometer, should be as potent today as it was when new.
Paul Walker’s cars fetching big money is nothing new. Last year, his bright red BMW M3 E30 sold for $150,000 USD, while many of his other cars headed up a varied auction back in 2019. The BMW M1 was sure to fetch three figures given its rarity, which was only boosted by its star-studded credentials.
SpeedKore has just unveiled its new “Hellraiser” 1970 Dodge Charger build. The muscle car is fitted with one of the most powerful crate engines from an automotive manufacturer — the 1,000 horsepower, supercharged Hellephant Hemi 426 7.0-liter V8 engine.
The Hellraiser’s body is made from aerospace-grade carbon fiber and is equipped with other performance features like a Dodge Demon-spec ZF 8HP90 8-speed automatic transmission, 14-point roll cage, a 4-bar suspension setup with Penske double adjustable shocks, Brembo six-pots at the front, a custom SpeedKore MagnaFlow exhaust system, and 20-inch HRE S201 3-piece wheels.
“The entire SpeedKore team is excited to unveil our first Hellephant-powered car,” said Jim Kacmarcik, President of SpeedKore. “The Hellephant is the most powerful crate engine ever offered by an OE manufacturer, so it seemed only natural that one would come to power a SpeedKore build. When we found out we would be receiving one of the engines from Mopar, we had already been in talks about a new build, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get started. Hellraiser represents the pinnacle of SpeedKore design and engineering, and we’re excited to share this custom build with the world.”
This special project was commissioned by actor and comedian Kevin Hart. Check out the images above for a better look at this beast of a car.
