On Day 1 of SEMA, Kevin Hart made a grand entrance at the MagnaFlow booth with his friends and family to unveil The Kevin Hart Collection and showcase his latest dream car: a 1987 Buick Grand National GNX, affectionately named “the Dark Knight” by the comedian himself.

 

Hart was thrilled with how the vehicle turned out and expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in the project, including Dave Salvaggio, MagnaFlow, HRE, and others, for their eight months of hard work.

 

The customized Buick Grand National GNX received a bespoke MagnaFlow exhaust and underwent tasteful upgrades, such as a stealthy carbon fiber hood, splitter, and custom front fascia, while retaining the essence of its original design. Hart particularly appreciated the modern touches added to the restored interior of the Grand National.

 

To preserve the authenticity of the stock GNX, Hart and his design team decided to keep a V6 engine but opted for a more modern performance upgrade with a V6 from Cadillac’s V-Series. Despite targeted enhancements, the vehicle remains true to its 80s roots, complete with T-top.

 

During the GNX’s unveiling, Hart spoke passionately about his love for cars and car culture, emphasizing his gratitude to the talented individuals who helped bring his automotive visions to life.

 

The debut of The Kevin Hart Collection was made even more special by Hart’s presence, and MagnaFlow was honored to join him in celebrating the newest addition to his garage.

For those interested in viewing The Kevin Hart Collection in person, the MagnaFlow booth (Central Hall #23343) is the place to be before the show ends on Friday. Stay tuned for a comprehensive breakdown of all the cars featured in The Kevin Hart Collection and follow MagnaFlow for updates.
