Muscle car aficionados take heart: the future of electric cars from Dodge is mean, menacing, and loud. Proof: The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept which teases

. Here's what it sounds like, from the live reveal on YouTube:

," says Kuniskis. That is why the car has a multispeed transmission and an exhaust note, so the driver can feel and hear the crack of the exhaust while shifting.The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is a large car, and yes, this Charger is a true coupe with only two doors but with a hatch for greater utility. The concept, in Greys of Thunder dark glossy paint, has a clean design right down to the flush door handles and absence of a rear spoiler.

The Daytona Banshee has a multi-speed transmission with electro-mechanical shifting. Dubbed eRupt, the transmission does not deliver more power, but allows the driver to feel each shift point, Kuniskis says. The brand chief won't reveal the number of gears or provide any performance figures yet. What we do know is there will be three power levels available and customers can go to Direct Connection authorized dealers who will offer six more levels, all covered under factory warranty.

The most striking feature is the multicolored lighting that stretches across the dash and through the doors, which have raised gray slats that strake diagonally for a unique look, which is not easy to do. In red, the light glows like lava flowing through troughs. There are circuit-like graphics on the carbon fiber floor that work their way up the vehicle, surrounding the passengers, flowing under the seats and up to the center console and slim instrument panel.

Gimme!

Dodge completely missed an opportunity by not going Hybrid when it comes to performance models. You literally get the best of everything. Weight, Sound, Handling, Acceleration. Aftermarket Tuning. Just look what Ferrari is doing with the SF90. Plaid speed plus everything else.

If it turns out like the concept I’m buying one. I’m afraid the final cut isn’t nearly as cool though.

I've been saving for 4 years for my 3rd Charger. They go EV, I'm spending my money on something else. Bye Dodge!

I read somewhere that Chrysler was discontinuing the charger and the challenger next year ❗️

EV ? fk this

I mean. You have my attention

This is badass, but Dodge should do an EV version of the concept car from the Wraith and get charliesheen to be the spokesperson winning

Where all my V8 loving petrol-heads?

NO!!!! Should have a V8, all this bowing down to eco-vegtablist has to stop.

IdiditsoloAl that ain’t it. What you think?

🤮🤮🤮

Always wished for the original 2 door Charger! The design will confuse some as this looks like the Challenger, despite going back to the Chargers original design. Loving the clean lines.

Great - another WEENIS car to annoy everyone with obnoxious exhaust

Can't wait for the production car to look nothing like this.

Menacing already!

🤦‍♂️ cheesy fake noise? Why?

Looks awesome, I’m glad they designed it as a car than a suv, I wish I had that kind money though to buy an ev in general

Well I for one absolutely fucking love it

I really like this car!

Automotive News: Dodge leads the pack in creating exciting, new 'electron-guzzler.' Cars

I know what I’m going to get for my 35th birthday

Nobody's gonna be able to afford it

🤮

Ford this is how you build a good looking electric vehicle and honor a nameplate

The problem I find with EVs is that they can be disabled by a 3rd party at any point.

I guess to be an EV you have to look dull and bland, we don't want this electric shit how many times do we need to say it?

Ohhhh damnnn, this beast is sexy asl. Y’all going hard. I’m feeling this.

So is the charger now the 2 door?

I hope the visibility will be better

LenosGarage Please get this in the garage ASAP!

So sick. I can’t wait until they come out; FINALLY an EV worth buying!!

lame 😂😂

'..the transmission does not deliver more power, but allows the driver to feel each shift point,...' ^ .. not sure if I understand .. so is the driver actually 'shifting' gears in an electric car?

At least Dodge has some respect for their iconic nameplates, unlike Ford.

Who wants to help me hellaphant swap one

It’s a nice design. Little to over the top inside with the lights. Should still offer a ICE going all electric is not a good plan. What will you do when the customers don’t accept it or can’t afford it. Woke = broke. I’ve owned Mopar since 1982 don’t foresee me getting one soon.

Yo quiero.

💔

Wow.

My mind is just boggling looking at this? I don't hate it but I dont love it.

Looks cool. I’d like to hear it.

A noisy EV with less focus on range seems silly to me, but more EVs for more types of drivers are a great thing.

😂 the cat pulling up in this car isn’t kicking nobody’s Ass! JS

Looks promising

Buy the latest widebody hellcats and shrink wrap them . They are going to be worth over a million in a couple of decades.
