Electrifying the Future: The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Leads the Charge

Discover the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona, the world's first electric muscle car, boasting 670 HP, 0-60 in 3.3s, and innovative all-wheel drive.

Dodge is redefining the landscape of muscle cars with the unveiling of the world’s first and only electric muscle car, alongside a groundbreaking multi-energy variant of the iconic Dodge Charger. This bold move marks a pivotal moment in automotive history, offering a glimpse into the electrified future of high-performance vehicles.

The all-new 2024 Dodge Charger electrifies the classic muscle car experience without compromising on the raw power and speed that enthusiasts have come to expect. Leading the charge is the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, an all-electric beast boasting 670 horsepower and capable of sprinting from 0–60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack is not just about brute strength; it’s also expected to complete the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds, maintaining the Charger’s reputation as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.

For those who appreciate variety, Dodge introduces the Charger Daytona R/T, an electrified model with a robust 496 horsepower, alongside the gas-powered Dodge Charger SIXPACK models. These models include the 550-horsepower Charger SIXPACK H.O. powered by a 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine and the 420-horsepower Charger SIXPACK S.O. powered by a 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane Standard Output engine. These options ensure that the new generation of Dodge Chargers caters to a wide range of preferences, from pure electric power to traditional combustion engines, without sacrificing performance.

The Dodge Charger Daytona models stand out not only for their electrifying performance but also for their innovative features, such as the world’s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, which offers an unprecedented auditory experience in an electric vehicle. This, along with the advanced Level 2 active driving assist system, positions the Charger Daytona at the forefront of technological advancements in the muscle car segment.

Constructed on the STLA Large platform, the Charger Daytona models are a testament to Dodge’s commitment to flexibility, performance, and electrification. This platform supports a 400V propulsion system, combining zero tailpipe emissions with instant torque response, mirroring the exhilarating performance of a supercharged V-8 engine. The electric drivetrain consists of a high-voltage battery pack and dual integrated charge modules, alongside front and rear electric drive modules, each contributing significantly to the vehicle’s power and efficiency.

Dodge’s electrification strategy is not just about enhancing performance; it’s also part of a broader initiative under the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This plan aims to reduce the global carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and achieve net carbon zero by 2038, with the Dodge Charger playing a crucial role in this vision.

The all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona models, including both two-door coupe and four-door versions, are set to begin production in 2024 and 2025, respectively. This marks a new chapter for the Dodge Charger, blending iconic design and unparalleled muscle car performance with the latest in electric vehicle technology.
