Kevin Hart's 940-horsepower 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, nicknamed "Michael Myers."

Comedian Kevin Hart is a big fan of modified muscle cars and has built several elaborate restomods. The latest addition to his collection is a sinister-themed 1969 Plymouth Road Runner.

Named "Michael Meyers," the Road Runner is the product of Wisconsin-based Salvaggio Design and features a 940-horsepower supercharged Hemi V-8, carbon fiber parts, and a Halloween-themed black and orange color scheme.

The 426 cubic-inch Hemi is a "Demon/Hellephant hybrid motor," Dave Salvaggio of Salvaggio Design said in a press release.

The custom Hemi is designed to run on 91 octane fuel; Hart calls for a Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission to send power to the Ford 9-inch rear axle.

The powertrain is housed in a thoroughly rebuilt bodyshell and frame that has been modified to include a custom front suspension and roll cage. Newly fabricated firewalls, wheel tubes, and trunk (with integrated fuel cell) were added, as well as a carbon fiber hood and bumpers. According to Salvaggio Design, the doors, roof, fenders, and rear quarter panels remain stock.

The Salvaggio also features Brembo brakes, including six-piston calipers and 14-inch rotors up front and four-piston calipers and 13-inch rotors at the rear. The 18-inch front and 20-inch rear HRE aluminum wheels are fitted with billet hubcaps and designed to look like normal Road Runner steel wheels.

The interior features Recaro front seats, black leather upholstery with an orange splatter pattern, a billet steering wheel and shifter, and a digital meter cluster in a billet housing. Salvaggio Design also commissioned Raymar Footwear to create custom Nike Air Max 90 sneakers to match the car.

"Michael Myers" is not the only killer Mopar muscle car in Hart's garage. He also owns a 1970 Dodge Charger with a 1,000-horsepower Herefant crate engine.
