Even though an all-electric Dodge Charger is soon to be released, many car enthusiasts aren’t
exactly happy about it. However, some new details regarding the final production model have
recently come to light, and they’re sure to appeal to everyone. Will they be sufficient to persuade
purists of the muscle car tradition?
To begin with, it is believed that the all-electric Dodge will be known as the Charger Daytona,
similar to the Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept that was presented a year ago. Given how
striking the retro concept was, it is also understood that the production model will resemble the
concept extremely closely.
“There’s no better indication that electric vehicles are taking over than the 2024 Dodge Charger
concept,” said an online source, Drew Dorian.
Fortunately, the brand’s combustion-powered muscle vehicles won’t abruptly disappear with
the introduction of the all-electric Charger. According to recent reports, the Stellantis 3.0-liter
twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six that made its debut under the hood of the 2023 Jeep
Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will be available in both the next-generation Charger and
Challenger. This engine can produce 420 horsepower and 468 Lb-ft (634 Nm) of torque in
regular form and 510 horsepower and 500 Lb-ft (678 Nm) in high-output version. Fans of muscle
cars should be more than happy with a horsepower output of over 500 hp, however the absence
of a V8 continues to upset a number of people.
“The Charger Daytona SRT concept features a unique chambered exhaust system that is said to
imitate the sound of the outgoing supercharged V-8 SRT Hellcat model,” said online car expert
on the car and driver website.
The electric Charger Daytona will be made available by Dodge in a variety of configurations.
The entry-level model is anticipated to produce 455 horsepower, while the top-end variant will
be capable of around 590 horsepower. However, the base model will be able to receive 495 and
535 horsepower upgrades through Direct Connection, while the 590-horsepower version may
receive a boost of up to 670 horsepower.
“2024 Banshee Charger looks too much like a “prototype” (carbon fiber body, center lock
wheel, no specs on performances or range),” said an online car enthusiast, Zach Butler.
The SRT Banshee, which will supposedly have an 800-volt all-wheel-drive system but
unknown horsepower levels, is most likely to be the top-tier model of the car.
