Shaquille O’Neal Quietly Decided To Sell His Customized Dodge Charger, It Has Underglow
Shaquille O’Neal must have lost track of all the cars he has purchased lately. However, he is also selling some one. His heavily customized Dodge Charger is listed for sale on Supercar Blondie’s website.
SBX Cars is trying to sell the 2022 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody that belongs to Shaquille O’Neal. There was no way in a million years he could have left it stock. He never does. All his cars are customized: they get wrapped in the color of his choice, be it red, gray, matte black, or anything he may think of.
Besides, he either has a four-door converted into a two-door as he did with his Lucid Air or has the seat rails extend so he can fit behind the steering wheel.
He recently mocked the Effortless Motors team, leading them to believe they had the color of his Cadillac Escalade IQ wrong. “Take it back, it is the wrong color!” He told them. He called them minutes later and told them to bring back the SUV because he loved it.
Hopefully, he won’t do the same with this Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody and really let it go for good. The muscle car goes with only 4,105 miles (6,606 kilometers) on the clock. Owning so many cars, he can’t possibly find the time to drive them all too often.
Dubbed the “Shaqcat,” the vehicle is finished in Smoke Show over a Black Laguna leather and Alcantara interior. It is said to be one of only three customized Chargers built by Las Vegas-based Forbes Performance, specifically for the basketball legend.

The Charger SRT is set in motion by the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8, which pumps out 717 horsepower when stock. However, Forbes Performance was not going to leave the HEMI untouched, so they took it all the way to 900 horsepower.
An eight speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters puts the power down through the rear wheels in pure muscle car fashion. The V8 roars out through the black exhaust tips at the back, which match the Midnight Metallic exterior badging and Satin Black taillamps and Charger decklid badges. A rear wing and an aggressive air diffuser optimize airflow.
The pure American muscle rides on 20-inch ten-spoke custom Signature Performance wheels with Diesel Dog Mafia center caps. The wheels are wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 Ultra High-Performance summer tires, measuring 305/35 at the front and 315/35 at the rear.
What draws the attention is the red underglow. The car also sports an illuminated grille, custom headlights with colored LEDs, as well as tiny light bulbs placed in the wheel wells.
The carbon fiber aero kit brings a new front splitter, restyled bumpers, and widebody fender flares, but also a custom vented hood with the Diesel Dog Mafia exterior decal and DJ Diesel underhood decal. Those are the names used by the basketball icon when he goes rapping.
The Dodge is equipped with a 19-speaker Harman Kardon Green Edge audio system, as if you really need to hear another soundtrack than that produced by the HEMI from under the hood.
Everything about this car screams, “Look at me!” because that is how the Big Guy likes his cars. Besids, the man has three Cybertrucks, two Lucid Airs, and three Cadillac Escalade IQs. Does he really have time for each and everyone?
The selling dealer also indicates the flaws the car comes with: it has uneven fitment on the right side of the front bumper and fender, a scratch on the left side skirt and rear bumper, a minor driver’s seat wear, and pulled stitches on the center console lid.
