1981 Chevrolet El Camino with LS-V8 and +500 PS!

The genus of Utes is known almost extinct, and the Chevrolet El Camino was arguably its most popular representative in the United States of its time. For some, the El Camino was a workhorse, for others it was a cool sports pickup that you could use to sink an opponent on a quarter mile. But after the oil crisis, the coolness factor at El Camino was written in lower case, so it was, for example, in 1981 only Motors with a power between 110 and 150 hp gave. Large-volume V8 engines with high performance fell victim to the oil crisis, and so only weak six- and eight-cylinder engines remained as standard, which found their way into more and more GM models in this era. But today we want you one 1981 El Camino imagine, which surpasses any production model with tremendous performance, including the ones of the same name Muscle utes from Chevrolet from the 60s.

Donk-style ute with a crazy look

At first glance, no one would bet that there was a powerful engine under the hood of this Chevy, because that 24 incherthat the Donk style trend emulate, and appear very classic with their low-bed optics in five-double-spoke design, they look anything but sporty and dynamic. The car, which is otherwise streamlined and crouched for a pickup, appears long-legged and lanky, because the monster wheels made it inevitable the ground clearance increased.

In addition to the rims, no further modifications seem to have been made to the body, except possibly one Repaintingto refresh the old color. But despite the small number of modifications, the El Camino of probably the weakest era of the GM group became an eye-catcher, which you cannot see its true power, because it hides it extremely skillfully, so that it is almost as a Sleeper ute could denote.

Interior with features of the modern age.

If you take a quick look into the cockpit, you could assume that the interior has been left completely original, but for example this Steering wheel As well as the Touchscreen display in the center console testify to the modern automotive era to which the cockpit was transferred. This makes driving much more comfortable and pleasant than with a completely original El Camino from the 1980s, without appearing any less authentic.

An LS-V8 with supercharger provides +500 hp.

Under the hood a LS-V8 compressor with over 500 hpfrom ProCharger was tuned, its service. We don't know anything about the maximum torque, but it should be huge. The displacement is unfortunately not known to us either, but it should be over 5 liters lie. The power is transmitted via a automatic transmission to Rear wheels. In terms of performance, the all-purpose weapon reaches the level of sports cars, and a little pressure on the gas pedal is enough to make the rear wheels smoke. This car is the ideal Quarter mile racer, because you can't tell from the outside what power he's got.
