Reading time 4 Min.

The American tuning company Ringbrothers, which specializes in absolutely unmistakable Restomod projects, has the two Mustang SPLITR & Espionage currently the next vehicle with the name "Recoil" is being put on its wheels, which catapults itself into the same category of the above-mentioned Mustangs, especially in terms of performance. The guys around the Ringbrothers team recently released the vehicle and we absolutely have to show it to you.

A 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle was used as the base vehicle for the tuning. The name "Recoil" is due to the built-in HRE 20 inch rims, the new rim type is called "Recoil" and impresses with its 3-part look and the extreme 20 × 13 inch dimensions at the back. After the tuning cure that the Chevelle was allowed to endure, it is now much more exciting, more individual and also more dynamic than the production version and with its almost 1.000PS (980PS) should be beyond any doubt. If you are thinking of buying an old Chevelle in the future or already owns one, and would like to restore it according to all the rules of the art and provide it with modern tuning parts, Ringbrothers is definitely an interesting place to go.

Series doesn't work with the Ringbrothers!

The tuner is particularly interesting when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model. As far as the changes made to the optics or the technology are concerned, we have already been able to find out the first details. As usual, we have listed the extensive tuning program below in a summary. If you discover any further changes that we have not listed, just use the comment box and let us know!
