Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this bespoke 2018 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat showing 56,285 miles at the time of this cataloging. Finished in a custom Kobe Bryant-tribute livery over a black Laguna leather and microsuede interior, it is offered by Empire Motors in Lansing, Michigan.
Kobe Bryant was one of NBA basketball’s all-time greats. He was the recipient of five NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals, garnering millions of fans over his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant published an autobiography in 2018 entitled “Mamba Mentality” that encapsulated his personal mindset which drew inspiration from the mamba snake. Relentless work, unwavering focus, and strength in the face of adversity were key elements brought into the publication.
This 2018 Charger SRT Hellcat started out life with a Pitch Black-finished exterior and was originally sold via Sahara Dodge in Las Vegas, Nevada. Subsequently, it was reimagined both inside and out to pay homage to Bryant and his daughter Gigi who lost their lives in January 2020. Every detail was taken into consideration, from its color-keyed wheels, to its custom embroidery, to its showcase trunk. Themes of Bryant’s “mamba” references are throughout, as well as airbrushed images, Los Angeles Lakers logos, custom lighting, headrest monitors, color-keyed 20-inch forged wheels, and much more.
Created by Dodge’s performance division, known as Street and Racing Technology (SRT), the Charger Hellcat was marketed as the “world’s fastest four-door muscle car.” It boasted brute strength, superior handling, and advanced technology for its time. Thanks to a 707-horsepower supercharged HEMI V8 under the hood, this car has strength credentials that even Kobe himself could appreciate.
