Ringbrothers has introduced a stunning new representation of classic muscle car style, with the debut of its latest Plymouth Barracuda restomod. Named ‘Infected’ for its powerful appeal, the retrofitted 1970 Barracuda will turn heads at the SEMA 2024 event taking place in Las Vegas.
Key Takeaways:
– Wisconsin-based tuning shop, Ringbrothers, reveals the ‘Infected’ Barracuda at the SEMA 2024
– Featuring a contagious Pink Eye color scheme and white leather interiors
– Powered by a mighty 807 horsepower Mopar Hellcrate Redeye Hemi engine
– Offers an upgraded suspension with Fox RS SV coilovers for a smoother ride
– Modern cabin upgrades including Apple CarPlay connectivity and a pistol grip shifter
A Muscular Makeover
The muscle car transformation trend continues, but instead of going electric as the trend suggests, Ringbrothers decided on a different route for their creation. The painstaking work resulted in a powerful vehicle combining vintage aesthetics with high-octane performance.
The Infected Barracuda boasts an engine with a cool 807 horsepower, thanks to a supercharged Mopar Hellcrate Redeye Hemi engine. This is paired with a Tremec six-speed manual transmission that puts power directly to a propeller, the rear wheels.
Striking Exterior Design
The fascinating Pink Eye paint job on the car’s exterior is an attention-grabber. It contrasts with dark accents provided by a black hood and custom lower rocker panels, among other parts. Diving deeper into details, the grille and bumper guards are milled uniquely from a single piece of billet aluminum. Special attention was also paid to a redesigned lower intake for better airflow.
Chassis and Suspension Upgrade
A redesigned chassis gives the ‘Cuda an extra 1.5 inches. Ringbrothers adjusted the front wheels to accommodate this change but made sure to preserve the classic muscle car proportions. For an enhanced ride, the restomod gets Fox RS SV coilovers at both the front and the back.
Performance Wheels and Tires
The staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels enhance the muscle car’s aggressive stance. They’re wrapped in super-grip Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Concealed behind these wheels are six-piston Brembo brake calipers, offering reliable stopping power.
Modern Cabin, Traditional Mopar Style
The interior of the ‘Infected’ has not been neglected in this makeover. White leather wraps the modernized cabin. Climate control, new gauges, and even a modern sound system with Apple CarPlay connectivity, among other upgrades, accommodate the latest preferences. Tradition hasn’t been forgotten, with the classic Mopar style reflecting in the Pistol Grip shifter and a high-performance steering wheel featuring carbon fiber accents.
On Display at SEMA
After 5,600 hours of diligent labor, the ‘Infected’ Barracuda is ready for its public viewing. If you’re lucky enough to be at the SEMA Show in Vegas, you won’t want to miss this beauty. As Ringbrothers continue their commitment to quality and ingenuity, the ‘Infected’ Barracuda is an excellent embodiment of their vision and passion for muscle car restoration.
