The CF1 Roadster | Kindigit Designs

Built
For
the bold

From its sleek chassis to the precision-built exhaust system, every part of the CF1 is designed with perfection in mind.

The CF1’s carbon fiber body is sculpted for strength and speed, while the hand-stitched interior blends vintage craftsmanship with modern luxury. Under the hood, a Lingenfelter Eliminator engine delivers refined, unapologetic power.

Drivetrain & Power

The CF1 is powered by a Lingenfelter Eliminator Spec S 650HP 427 LS Engine with LS3

Ported Heads and LSX springs featuring Borla 8 Stack injection. Billet Specialties Tru Trac Front Drive. Power is delivered through a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, chosen for its strength, reliability, and smooth shifting under high torque. It made 554 peak horsepower at 6,281 rpm and 507 peak torque at 5,175 rpm.

These are the real numbers to the rear wheels through a 4L80E transmission on our latest CF1. That’s the power you’ll actually use/feel when you drive the car. 554hp is nothing to scoff at in a 3,000 lb car.

From the initial sketches to the final touches, working with Dave and his team was an exercise in precision and passion. They were exceptional at maintaining open lines of communication, providing detailed blueprints, and cost estimates that helped keep everything transparent and aligned with my expectations. It was a true partnership every step of the way.

To create a one-off color with Dave and to be a part of what Kindig is doing with these cars is pretty cool. And seeing the changes that he puts in these cars. The most memorable experience is I took it down to my dealership in Columbia TN, with my wife on a nice day and rode it around, I hadn't driven it much because it had been raining a lot there.
