Shaquille O’Neal likes them extreme. Former NBA star has uploaded a video of his customized Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody, and it looks insane.
You might be tricked into thinking that Shaq's Dodge is not new. The former NBA star has been going out of his way with the customization of his cars. Yes, "cars," you read that right. Because it is not just one Charger that he has been switching wraps on, but several.
Last year, he purchased a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and got it customized just in time for his 50th birthday. Back then, he called it "best birthday gift ever!" and referred to the shop that helped him with the transformation of the muscle car "best car club ever!"
It sported a silver and red wrap and scissor doors, something that Dodge has never used on the Charger. It came with the 'Diesel Dod Mafia' writing on the hood.
Now that he got his hands on a new one, he couldn't just leave it stock. It is all covered in black, windows and wheels included. Number 34, Shaq’s T-shirt number when he was playing for Los Angeles Lakers, shows up on the hood. There is a backlit Demon logo in the radiator grille and similar badging, no backlighting this time, in the front fenders. The car comes with red underglow.
If Shaq goes "Oh-oh," it spells trouble. His photo shows up right above the aggressively designed rear air diffuser instead of the license plate. Cult of personality much? Oh, well, who can blame this guy?
This car is a keeper. Dodge will stop building HEMI-powered cars as they're forcing the iconic V8 into retirement. They have already rolled out Last Call editions of the Charger and Challenger, and these will only be available until the end of December.
No word on any power upgrade on the Charger Hellcat Widebody. But that is one untamed beast as it is. There is a 6.2-liter V8 HEMI engine under that hood, which delivers 697 horsepower (707 ps) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque.
The NBA legend also owns a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Convertible, all in black, with a special light kit in red and 24-inch multi-spoke concave black and red wheels. "That son goes so fast. I embarrassed Feraris, Lamborghinis, Teslas with it!" he modestly told after labeling that particular car as his favorite.
51-year old Shaquille O’Neal is one generous soul. He spends gazillions on cars, but also helps those in need. Last year in March, he bought two cars for a family who desperately needed them. With a $400 million net worth after 19 seasons in the NBA, that's pocket change for Big Shaq. And it goes way back. From his first paycheck, he got Mercedes-Benzes for him and his family.
