The Doughboy Chevelle, crafted by Blazin Rodz, is a one-of-a-kind marvel that combines cutting-edge technology with raw power. Under the hood, this monstrous machine boasts an incredible 2,800 horsepower, powered by a 540 cubic inch V8 engine. Every detail of this beast has been meticulously designed, with many components featuring 3D-printed and CNC-machined parts, all developed in-house by the Blazin Rodz team.
Built on a custom chassis designed by the renowned Art Morrison, Doughboy has been significantly reinforced to handle the extreme power. The suspension system is entirely bespoke, incorporating CNC-milled 7075-T6 aluminum for maximum performance and strength.
The car’s intercooler is a showcase of innovation, featuring 3D-printed carbon fiber ducts, with the frame doubling as the front core support. The engine has been shifted 15 inches closer to the car’s center for improved weight distribution, while the custom billet intake manifold also functions as the fuel rail.
At the heart of the Doughboy is a 540 cubic inch (8.8-liter) Brodix V8, paired with Precision 8385 Next Gen turbochargers and dual 10-GPM Aeromotive Brushless fuel pumps. The fuel cell, crafted with the same level of innovation, also serves as the rear diffuser, ensuring both functionality and style.
“We aimed to create a vehicle that doesn’t just impress visually but offers an unparalleled driving experience,” said Riccardo Salatino, lead builder at Blazin Rodz. “From the engineering to the design, we’ve pushed the limits to deliver something truly extraordinary.”
Inside, the Doughboy is just as extraordinary, featuring a 4130 roll cage, billet pillars, and a Motec C1812 gauge cluster. A steering wheel from an Audi R8 has been integrated for quick, intuitive access to key functions.
For those eager to follow the build process, Blazin Rodz has launched a YouTube series that takes viewers behind the scenes of this incredible project, detailing every step of the design and construction process.
The Doughboy Chevelle is a true testament to the skill and creativity of Blazin Rodz, setting new standards in automotive performance and design.
