The design is unapologetically based on the second-generationintroduced for 1968. Dodge says it's"subtle." Thought we're not sure Dodge knows what"subtle" means, which the folks there would probably take as a compliment. Regardless, the car looks good. It has the same squared-off shape, wide, rising rear fenders and notchback roofline of the classic model. It even has the wide, rectangular front grille and just two doors. Dodge is quite proud of the nose.
The exterior also features some very slick 21-inch center lock wheels with turbine-inspired details. They're wrapped in 305-mm tires up front and 325-mm tires in the back. And they're stopped by six-pistonMoving to the inside, the design is actually quite grounded in reality.
Dodge is still being quiet about powertrain details, but it did share some interesting bits. The powertrain uses an 800-volt electrical system called"Banshee," which inspired the"screaming banshee" badges on the fenders. That should enable it to handle up to 350-kW fast charging. Dodge also said that the Charger Daytona is all-wheel-drive and faster than a current Hellcat. It gets a PowerShot overboost button likewhich can be used any time.
Continuing with that theme is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system. Kuniskis emphasized that this is not just an external speaker system. It's actually a pipe system with various chambers tuned to make noise, presumably with air being pumped through it. Basically like a brass instrument or as Kuniskis likened it, a pipe organ. It's tied to information such as speed, throttle input and other information.
Dodge wouldn't say if the Charger Daytona SRT would enter production as its own model looking like this. It did imply that this is a preview of a couple muscle car variants that will launch in 2024. We would imagine it will be a product split basically like the current Charger and, with one as a four-door, and the other as a two-door. And we would expect those products to be heavily inspired by this concept, which already doesn't seem far away from production feasibility.
Please make a version with a good ole V8. :)
Two doors, as Dog intended.
Fool me once, shame on you...
It's like fake meat if an electric car is so desirable on its own why mimic something else?
They could have made the gas one look like that! Too bad!!!
Electric muscle smacks of shoe horning defined pre electric era model into the new EV product era. Legacy well built brands may find electrification is a battle too far for established brands. New totally new branding required.Tough as now ev is level field for brands new/old
Underwhelming.
Nice looking car. Too bad it’s terrible for the environment.
Looks familiar…
Oh... please just have a version with a good ole V8. :)
What is the market for this car? People that buy muscle cars want to hear them and feel them.
