The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is the production version of the brand’s Charger Daytona SRT Concept<\/a> that debuted in 2022. The concept was a mostly production-ready version of the brand’s first-ever electric muscle car, and the Charger Daytona didn’t stray too far from the concept’s clean-shaven yet bulbous design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The front has a Dodge-patented and vintage-inspired R-Wing front bumper design to enhance battery cooling while improving downforce, while the rear features a “Ring of Fire” LED taillight design. The brand’s Fratzog logo returns for the Charger Daytona after appearing on a handful of Dodge production cars between the early ’60s and the mid-70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Charger Daytona is longer, wider, and marginally taller than the outgoing Charger while having a more extended 121-inch wheelbase. It will come in eight curated paint colors: Destroyer Grey, Peel Out, Diamond Black, Redeye, White Knuckle, Triple Nickel, and Bluedicrous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is underpinned by the STLA Large platform<\/a>, a flexible, battery-electric vehicle platform with the potential to carry extreme power, according to parent company Stellantis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As further described by Stellantis, the STLA Large platform will support a variety of suspension modules and powertrain cradles, depending on vehicle-specific performance objectives. In the case of the 2024 Charger Daytona, STLA Large will accommodate both electrified and gasoline powertrains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe electrified 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers Charger Hellcat Redeye levels of performance and announces its presence through the world\u2019s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, while Hurricane engine-powered Dodge Charger SIXPACK models will give the Brotherhood of Muscle a gas option that produces better horsepower and torque numbers than the outgoing 5.7- and 6.4-liter Hemi engines,\u201d said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO \u2013 Stellantis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n STLA Large is available in 400-volt or 800-volt architectures, with the 2024 Charger Daytona utilizing both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All-electric and standard with all-wheel-drive, the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is driven by a 400-volt propulsion system enabled by STLA Large. The system incorporates a high-voltage battery pack, a dual-integrated charge module, and both a front and rear electric drive module (EDM). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The front EDM employs front wheel end disconnect, improving range and efficiency, while the rear EDM includes a mechanical limited-slip differential to increase traction and performance. Both front and rear EDMs feature a three-in-one architecture (inverter, gearbox, and motor), generating 335 horsepower (250 kW) and 300 lb-ft. of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are fascinated by how electric drive powertrains like this function, take a listen to this episode of AutoVision News Radio<\/em><\/a> featuring the electrical hardware engineering team from GKN Automotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Charger Daytona R\/T has a standard Direct Connection Stage 1 upgrade kit that adds 40 horsepower for a total of 496 horsepower, while the Daytona Scat Pack has a Stage 2 kit that provides 80 extra horsepower for a total output of 670 horsepower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Base model Charger Daytonas can be upgraded by purchasing Direct Connection kits to achieve Stage 1 or Stage 2 performance levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although details were slim during the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona’s revel on March 5th, 2024, an 800-volt SRT Banshee is in the works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dodge said it expects the Scat Pack will accelerate to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.3 seconds and destroy the quarter-mile in about 11.5 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For comparison, the 2023 Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye with a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi will hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, although it’s quarter mile time is still quicker at 10.6 seconds (129 mph). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, the R\/T is expected to reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and breach the quarter-mile in 13.1 seconds. The top speed is 134 mph for the Scat Pack and 137 mph for the R\/T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Charger Daytona has a 100.5 kW nickel-cobalt-aluminum battery pack with a peak discharge rate of 550 kW that Dodge calls “the battery-electric version of high-octane fuel.” The prismatic battery cell structure enables better thermal performance and maximizes power delivery in a quarter-mile run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Charger Daytona R\/T is expected to have a range of 317 miles, while the high-performance Daytona Scat Pack is expected to deliver 260 miles of driving range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both cars feature regenerative braking with driver-selectable modes to help improve the range, and both can replenish the battery in under 30 minutes using a 350-kW DC fast charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>
