First Drive: All-New Dodge Charger Daytona Coupe – Extreme Electric Muscle Car Performance
- Dodge//SRT is showcasing its newfound performance DNA by utilizing electrification platforms via its muscle car brand. While the vehicle will offer 3-liter Twin Turbo I-6 Hurricane engines, the Daytona model and forth coming cars will incorporate battery technology.
- It remains to be seen whether the electric Daytona will continue to gravitate toward Dodge enthusiasts who have embraced and popularized the Charger and Challenger in cult-like fashions.
- Dodge wanted a heritage look, so they referenced the 1968 Charger as inspiration for the overall design. Today, the electric muscle car is almost 2” wider and 1” longer than the outgoing Charger Hellcat and incorporates a hidden hatch for more storage capacity in the rear.
- Chrysler’s EV engineers focused on homing in on practical aspects, including a 241-mile range with the total power output of 670 horsepower and 627 lb.-ft. of torque through standard AWD.
- Dodge is showcasing the Daytona Coupe as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car that incorporates drive modes as well as adaptable Race Options that utilize Dodge-exclusive methods for race prep, drag, or track racing.
- Inside the Dodge Charger Daytona, you will find a unique pistol-grip shifter inspired by prior Charger generations and traditional amenities including Apple Car Play, Android Audio, and Amazon Alexa.
- Pricing for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Coupe starts at $59,595 (excluding the high $1,995 destination fee) and $73,130 for Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Packs.
- Dodge will supply a complimentary unit (excludes installation) or $600 in credits from the Free2move Charge network. More importantly, when leased, the pair will qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit unless things change with the new administration come January 2025.
- The electric Daytona provides the muscle car's well-known capabilities with the efficiency of EVs.
- The “Dodge is Different” mantra continues evolving over the brand's 110 years of history.
