If you have not heard of Detroit Speed, the following will provide insight into the company. Detroit Speed is renowned for developing long-lasting, dependable products that exceed late-model performance expectations. Its dedicated team of highly qualified engineers, known for their expertise and innovation, design the products, and skilled fabricators build the best components and subsystems.

Detroit Speed’s commitment to innovation is evident in its use of state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies. These include CNC machining, forging, hydroforming, and additional techniques aimed at transforming a muscle car-era ride into a late-model powerhouse.

At Detroit Speed, several test vehicles (developmental mules) roll thousands of miles across the odometer yearly while attending car shows, completing road trips, and running at road course events. Each mule is used to evaluate parts, develop proper product fit and finish, and re-test revised products as needed.

Detroit Speed’s operations will continue in Mooresville, North Carolina, ensuring a smooth ownership transition and minimizing product production disruption. As the plans become firmer, more details will be announced.
