Kevin Hart buys muscle car from company that built 1970 Plymouth Barracuda involved in 2019 crash
Kevin Hart has bought a new souped-up muscle car from the same Wisconsin-based company that built his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that was wrecked in 2019.
The 41-year-old comedian recently purchased a Dodge Charger ‘Hellraiser’ from SpeedKore Performance Group located near Milwaukee, according to an article Monday by TMZ.
Sources familiar with the deal said Kevin paid ‘several hundred thousand dollars’ for a revamped 2019 Dodge Charger modified with a pair of turbochargers and SpeedKore’s so-called ‘Hellraiser’ performance engine.

Kevin previously acquired a deluxe Mopar muscle car from SpeedKore in 2019 when he bought a vintage blue Barracuda boosted with a modern supercharged 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine.
The comedian was in the passenger seat of the Barracuda in September 2019 when it rolled down an embankment on Mulholland Highway near Calabasas, California.
Kevin was seriously injured in the accident, but fully recovered after requiring spinal surgery.
The comedian reportedly will have the boosted Charger delivered next week.

Kevin last week launched his new SiriusXM original podcast with Jerry Seinfeld, 66, as the series’ inaugural guest.
The satellite radio company last week announced the debut of the comedian’s ‘Inside Jokes with Kevin Hart’ along with two other original programs.
Kevin on ‘Inside Jokes’ will interview top comedians and rising stars while chronicling their comedy club experiences and touching on ‘never-before-heard’ stories.

‘I’m sitting down with some of the best voices in comedy to give my listeners the stories behind the jokes they hear on stage,’ Kevin said in a statement. ‘Comedians have been through it all, and I´m excited that I´ll be digging deep into the lives of my peers for my first podcast.’
The comedian earlier this month also signed a lucrative four-movie, first-look deal with Netflix to both star in and produce through his HartBeat Productions company.
Kevin has been married since 2016 to Eniko Parrish, 36, and they have four children together.
