World’s First Hellcat-Powered Minivan Redefines Performance and Practicality

Rich Benoit of "Rich Rebuilds" Combines a Chrysler Town & Country with a Dodge Charger Hellcat

In a stunning display of automotive ingenuity, YouTuber Rich Benoit, the mastermind behind the “Rich Rebuilds” channel, has created the world’s first Hellcat-powered minivan. This project seamlessly merges the body of a Chrysler Town & Country with the chassis and powertrain of a Dodge Charger Hellcat, and the videos are comedic in a way that few aside from Rich can pull off.

Innovative Body Swap Approach

Unlike traditional engine-swapping techniques, where a powerful engine is retrofitted into an existing vehicle, Benoit opted for a body swap. By mounting the Chrysler Town & Country shell onto the Dodge Charger Hellcat’s foundation, the build retained all of the Hellcat’s advanced performance capabilities while expediting the fabrication process. The final product is a one-of-a-kind creation that delivers supercar-level acceleration in the form of an unassuming minivan.

Captivating the Automotive World

The Hellcat-powered minivan has generated significant buzz in the automotive community. Publications like The Drive and Carscoops have praised the project for its creativity and execution, calling it a brilliant fusion of practicality and high performance. Enthusiasts are particularly drawn to the minivan’s sleeper design—its subtle exterior hides an engine capable of thrilling and surprising even the most seasoned drivers.
