Electric Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept

As Hialeah-area performance enthusiasts know, the Dodge Charger is one of the strongest muscle cars on the market today. But during the third day of the three-day Dodge Speed Week event series in August, the world got a sneak peek at the future of the muscle car with the unveiling of the electric Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept. This battery-electric vehicle (BEV) features a modern exterior design that echoes the iconic Dodge heritage and is powered by an all-new propulsion system accompanied by an industry-first BEV exhaust sound.

Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Performance

Dodge has made a name for itself as America’s muscle car brand, and the electric Dodge Charger has the performance chops to carry on that legacy. Take a look at what this first-ever Dodge electric muscle car has to offer:

• Banshee Propulsion System: The 800V Banshee delivers ferocious performance, making the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT faster than a Hellcat in all key performance measures. The standard all-wheel-drive system adds enhanced traction and control in all kinds of weather and road conditions.
• eRupt Transmission: With electro-mechanical shifting, the all-new eRupt transmission delivers distinctive shift points in true Dodge style. The Charger Daytona electric concept also features a PowerShot push-to-pass feature which is activated by a button on the steering wheel. PowerShot injects a jolt of adrenaline for increased horsepower and a quick burst of acceleration.
• Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust: Most BEVs have virtually silent electric motors, but that just doesn’t cut it for Dodge. The industry-first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust delivers high-performance sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle. This innovative system creates a visceral “Dark Matter” sound profile with bone-shaking, muscle attitude.

Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Design

• The electric Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept displays a long, wide, and confident profile. 
• The front grille features cross-car illuminated lighting centered by a white illuminated Fratzog badge originally featured on Dodge muscle cars from 1962 through 1976. 
• The patent-pending R-Wing redefines the front end and allows air to flow through the front opening, enhancing downforce. 
• Excess exterior decoration has largely been avoided, with the headlights hidden beneath the R-Wing and seamlessly integrated into the overall aerodynamic design. 
• The Dodge Charger electric concept also features flush door handles, brushed aluminum “screaming” Banshee fender badges, painted-pocket 21-inch wheels with diamond-cut faces, and a red Fratzog logo embellishing the wheel center locks. 
• The new hatchback design is highly functional, and along with rear seats that fold flat, offers unexpected utility and storage capacity from a muscle car.

Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Interior

• The driver-centric cockpit of the electric Dodge Charger is modern and athletic, featuring a 2.3-inch center screen, the largest featured in a Dodge vehicle. The screen angles nearly ten degrees towards the driver, and the curved 16-inch instrument cluster helps to create a cocooned, driver-focused feel. 
• An 8-by-3-inch Head-up Display (HUD) puts additional vehicle information where the driver needs it.
• The slim instrument panel (IP) and mid-bolster in Ultraviolet color with blue and silver accent stitching feature a “waterline” that extends across the car. The upper IP is a step higher to create a sculptural surface floating above the cluster. The Ultraviolet color also touches multiple interior surfaces, such as the console, doors and seats, creating a halo that works with the Attitude Adjustment Lighting™ to enhance shadows and highlights.
• A unique lightning bolt shape on the accelerator pedal hints at the concept’s electrified powertrain, as does the dual Blue Plasma and Silver stitching that surrounds the entire interior.
• A parametric texture adds fluidity and sculpture, spanning from the IP to door appliques, beneath the console and continuing to the rear armrests and rear console. 
• Carbon fiber door sills feature illuminated white Daytona lettering, with lighted Daytona lettering also found at the top right of the mid-bezel.
• A pass-through area under the console creates a much lighter feel, and the center console includes a jet-fighter inspired cap that flips up when engaging the start button. 
• The unique pistol-grip shifter functions as a mechanical precision piece that delivers an effortless shift experience when squeezing the pistol grip’s trigger.
• A new steering wheel design offers a thinner feel, with a flat top and bottom and a center spoke that is not connected to the rim, giving the steering wheel a floating feel. Paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel, with the PowerShot button on the right and drive mode controls on the left. An illuminated red SRT logo lights up the steering wheel center.
• The panoramic glass roof gives an open-air feel. 
• The carbon fiber “tub” floor and hatch are race-inspired lightweight features, and the large cargo area along with fold-flat rear seats provides more storage space than any previous Dodge muscle car.
