New muscle car prototype carries over many of concept's features; order book to open later this year
Dodge has revealed a pre-production version of the new Charger Daytona SRT as its first performance EV.
Dubbed "the future of electrified muscle", it will be available from late 2024, positioned as a rival to the electric Chevrolet Camaro, due in 2026.
It was shown on Dodge's social media accounts sporting a design very similar to the concept first shown in August 2022.

From Alfas to muscle cars, new Stellantis platform promises 800km EV range, over 500kW
Flexible platforms will be key to the success of automotive giants in the electric vehicle transition and this new architecture from Stellantis has some impressive credentials.
The company has pulled the covers off its new STLA Large platform, which slots above the recently revealed STLA Medium equivalent, to underpin at least eight new flagship products from five different Stellantis brands.
The new architecture is flexible not only in terms of its size, accommodating large D- and E-Segment sedans and SUVs measuring between 4.7 and 5.1 metres, but also in the wide range of powertrains it accommodates.
Although Stellantis describes it as a “BEV native” platform, implying that it was primarily designed for battery electric vehicles, it can also accommodate internal combustion powertrains, including hybrid applications.
In fact it’s adaptable to the point of being unusual, catering for both longitudinal and transverse engine positioning and front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive applications.
The first STLA Large vehicles out the starting blocks will be the production versions of the Dodge Charger SRT Concept - which has an interesting EV soundtrack - and the Jeep Wagoneer S concept.

Hennessey is building a 1,700bhp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170
The Demon 1700 Twin-Turbo will get a completely new powertrain, and will spawn a new department at Hennessey
Ever get the sense that your last-of-the-line Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is just not quick enough? Heck, 1,011bhp and a 0-60mph time of 1.66 seconds is basically snail’s pace.
Well, it is to Hennessey. The Texan tuner has announced a new ‘Demon 1700 Twin-Turbo’ with – you guessed it – a whole 1,700bhp. Yikes.
Hennessey is actually setting up a whole new department with this car known as Hennessey Special Operations (HSO), and the folk working there will apparently “build ultra-exclusive, ultra-high-horsepower vehicles for its most discerning customers”. That department will build 15 to 20 vehicles per year, and just 12 of these ultra-Challengers will ever exist.
So, how does Hennessey expect to get to that headline power figure? Well, it’ll start by blueprinting the existing 6.2-litre V8, before removing the whole powertrain and shrink wrapping it for safe keeping. It’ll then build a bespoke new twin-turbo powertrain “with every component optimised for performance”. Diplomatic use of 'optimised', there.

Dodge Charger EV to debut on March 5
Electric cars are taking over, and even beloved muscle-car giants feel the pressure to go green. Last year, Dodge announced its plan to reinvent the iconic Charger as an all-electric powerhouse. Now, the wait is finally over - Dodge is set to unveil its electric Charger EV in a week, trying to make good on its promise for a unique muscle car experience in the EV realm.
Get ready for shadows to dissipate, revealing a retro-infused EV with full-width DRLs, a revived Fratzog logo, and figures who could be Dodge designers ready to blow away some skepticism. Is Dodge, with its legacy of tire-burning, gas-guzzling machines, serious about offering an electric muscle car? Absolutely – and Dodge is aiming to prove that an electrified future might actually surpass the past.
Previewed by the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept, the new Charger EV could deliver up to a mind-blowing 885 horsepower, putting it in hypercar territory. Of course, muscle car fans will understandably argue that raw power isn't the whole story. They'll miss the roar of the classic V8 and the visceral, rumbling, character of the experience.

Gas-Powered 2024 Dodge Charger Packs Up To 550 HP From A Twin-Turbo Inline-6
Production is currently scheduled to begin early next year alongside the Charger Daytona EV.
We’ve known it was coming for a while, but the Dodge Challenger and Charger as we know them are dead — not dead for good, though. Dodge just unveiled the brand new 2024 Charger Daytona EV, which is designed for the post-V8 age as both a coupe and sedan with some seriously powerful electric motors. But if you’re still not sold on going all-electric, don’t worry. The new Dodge Charger will also be offered with Stellantis’ Hurricane twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 in two output levels alongside the electric versions, and neither one is going to be anything remotely approaching slow.
Dodge is calling the gas-powered Chargers the Sixpack, while the EVs are called Charger Daytona. In terms of styling differences, the internal-combustion Chargers have additional intakes in the front bumper and a bulging hood with an air vent, instead of the EV’s cool R-Wing nose pass-through. Only one photo of the gas Chargers has been released so far, but expect them to also get a tweaked rear diffuser with exhaust tips.
If you opt for the standard output version, the new six-cylinder Charger will make 420 horsepower, a heck of a lot more than the 300-ish horsepower that you got in the old V6 Charger. That’s also more than the 370 hp from the Hemi V8 used in the old Charger R/T, and while it’s a whole lot less than what you could get from the old Charger Hellcat, we’re going to guess you’ll spend a lot less on tires, so it’s certainly not the end of the world.
Buyers who want a gas-powered Charger but don’t think they’ll be content with “only” 420 hp will also have the option of stepping up to the high-output version. It’ll still be powered by the same twin-turbo engine, but output has been pumped up to 550 hp, a big step up from the 485-hp Hemi in the outgoing Charger Scat Pack. And again, while that’s still short of what the old Hellcats used to make, it should be more than enough to enjoy a good old-fashioned hard launch from stoplight to telephone pole. Both versions of the Charger Sixpack will come only with all-wheel drive, hopefully lessening the potential number of viral Charger-based accidents.

2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Debuts With Two Or Four Doors, Up To 670 HP And 317 Miles Of Range
The electric Charger will be the quickest and most powerful muscle car you can buy, and it also promises Hellcat-levels of real “exhaust” noise
We’re just gonna cut to the chase on this one, because there’s a lot to cover; Dodge just unveiled the 2024 Charger, which is entering production in mid-2024 with fully electric powertrains but will gain an internal combustion inline-6 option next year. Its styling sticks close to the concept from 2022, and the new Charger will surprisingly be available with either two or four doors. The all-wheel-drive Charger Daytona EV will be the quickest and most powerful muscle car you can buy thanks to the Scat Pack’s 670-hp powertrain — and the demise of the Chevy Camaro ZL1 and Ford Mustang GT500. And it’s got that Fratzonic exhaust that offers “Hellcat levels of sound intensity” and can even be revved, among other rad performance features like Line Lock and Donut modes.
If you just want to read about the Charger EV’s specs and how they compare to other performance EVs, we’ve got a story for you. If you just want to look through photos of the new Charger, we’ve got a story for you. If you specifically want to read what we know about the ICE Chargers, we’ve got a story for you. But if you want to learn detail about the 2024 Charger, then this is the story for you. Let’s dive in.
