Maximus is a masterstroke of automotive art and engineering, and one that answers the age-old question, "What if?" From a technological standpoint, it was designed to be updatable as our technology evolves. Tom went as far as to hire a person to hand-brush the finish on the body panels so they would be uniform across the entire car before it was clear-coated. NRE embraced the bare-steel theme, realizing it would showcase their metalworking skills. That decision did add years, but no regrets, to the build. When I told Tom, he said, 'You do realize that doing that will add years to the build, right?' But we did it, and now look at it! I'm both proud and scared of it, because we really did create a rolling piece of fine art," he continues.
I always wanted to paint it black, but I realized that it would be really cool to keep it in metal. Maximus was on display at the 2013 SEMA show in bare metal, simply because that's where the build had progressed at that point.

Tom claims that if the boost pressure is increased to 45, power output would be just shy of 3,000 hp, making it the most potent Street Hemi that NRE has ever produced.Īll this power is going to the rear wheels via a highly modified Tranzilla TR6060 six-speed manual transmission from Rockland Standard Gear Inc, and for extra insurance, a built-in GPS-based traction control system is employed to keep that power in check, as well as a five-mode horsepower/boost controller switch that lets the driver toggle between 1,000 and 2,000 hp The verified horsepower and torque numbers on Maximus are also mind-bending: 2,253 hp at 6,200 rpm, and 1,927 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm-and this is at just 25 psi of boost.
The tank features internal baffling, rollover vents, as well as all the plumbing. In the trunk is a dual-reservoir fuel tank that was CNC'd from a solid 2,000-lb block of aluminum. What you're seeing here is a 572-cubic-inch Hemi (that's 9.4L) that utilizes twin NRE 88mm turbochargers, twin intercoolers, and a computer-controlled dual-injection system that switches automatically between 91 and 116 octane fuel when the octane threshold is reached. Considering this is Nelson Racing Engines, you might assume it's something more exotic than your run-of-the-mill 426 Hemi, and you would be correct.
