It’s time to meet one of their latest jaw-dropping creations: the ‘Infected,’ a reimagined 1970 Plymouth Cuda packing an incredible 817 horsepower.
At the heart of this beast lies a monstrous 817bhp supercharged Hemi V8, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This potent combination delivers a driving experience that’s as nostalgic as it is exhilarating, nodding to Mopar’s golden era with an eye-catching, hot pink color scheme Ringbrothers calls “Pink Eye.” Inspired by the bold aesthetics of the ‘70s, the custom color is a homage with a modern twist, ensuring that the ‘Infected’ stands out on any road.
Performance Meets Precision Engineering
Ringbrothers has equipped the ‘Infected’ with an array of high-performance components that transform it into a track-capable machine. A modern chassis featuring a Wavetrac differential sits at the core, offering enhanced handling and stability. Meanwhile, Fox RS coilovers, six-piston brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires at each corner provide the grip and stopping power necessary for high-speed stability on both straightaways and tight turns.
Design Enhancements: A Modern Take on the Classic Cuda
The 1970 Plymouth Cuda is a true icon of American muscle, and Ringbrothers has skillfully preserved its original character while enhancing its design for a sharper, sleeker look. The wheelbase has been slightly extended, and slimmer, custom bumpers give it a more streamlined silhouette. The front grille is crafted from a single piece of billet aluminum, and the extended lower splitter and rocker panels improve aerodynamics, lending the car an aggressive stance ready for both street and track.
Luxurious Interior Meets Modern Tech
Inside, the ‘Infected’ is as impressive as it is on the outside. The interior is fitted with stunning white leather upholstery, custom gauges, and bespoke switchgear that highlight Ringbrothers’ attention to detail. The carbon fiber gear stick and steering wheel add a sporty touch, while Apple CarPlay integration brings modern convenience to this vintage-inspired build.
A Vision Realized: Ringbrothers on Crafting the ‘Infected’
Jim Ring, co-owner of Ringbrothers, describes the Cuda as the “perfect canvas to break new ground.” He highlights how the car’s quintessential muscle car lines made it an ideal candidate for Ringbrothers’ signature treatment, blending retro appeal with cutting-edge customization. The “Pink Eye” paint is a proprietary color created in collaboration with their partners, paying homage to Mopar’s legacy with a wink at the powerful Redeye engine.
The Legacy of Aftermarket Tuning
The ‘Infected’ is a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of small-scale tuners like Ringbrothers. With an unwavering passion for classic cars and a dedication to innovation, Ringbrothers continues to push the limits of automotive customization, proving that the art of tuning and the love for American muscle is alive and well.
Whether you’re a Mopar enthusiast or simply an admirer of vintage cars brought back to life with modern flair, the ‘Infected’ is a masterpiece that showcases the unique fusion of old and new. Long live the custom builders redefining what’s possible in the world of automotive design and performance.
