Check out SpeedKore’s 1,500bhp carbon-bodied Chrysler Pacifica minivan

And yet, the standard engine was clearly not enough for SpeedKore, because it has treated it to something that it calls the ‘Lilith Package’. Named after the mother of demons, the package ups the Hemi to a frankly terrifying 1,493bhp and pairs it with an eight-speed ZF auto gearbox.

Oh, and then there’s the name. Because SpeedKore is calling this the Chrysler Pacifica Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is a witch in Slavic folklore who is best known for kidnapping and eating children. And John Wick's nickname. Yikes…
