When John Pointer (a literal rocket scientist) was tasked with making the ‘68 Dodge Charger “go faster” he immediately put pen to paper and scribbled out that gigantic, now iconic rear wing. High enough to catch that good, good ‘clean air’.

Cut to the present day and no other car has come close to the space age dynamism of those modified Chargers, an irresistible subject for Deus co-founder Carby Tuckwell’s personal brand of moto-impressionism
