The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat & Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Thread (Hellcat Lovers)

Dodge Charger Daytona

Dodge is igniting a new era of automotive muscle, announcing the global debut of the world's first and only electric muscle car and the brand's first multi-energy muscle car: the all-new Dodge Charger.

The next-generation Dodge Charger electrifies a legend. The Charger will retain its title as the world's quickest and most powerful muscle car, led by the all-new, all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which delivers 670 horsepower and is expected to reach 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and to run the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds. Electrified models also include the 496-horsepower 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T.

The all-new Dodge Charger features standard all-wheel drive for all models and will offer performance choices via multi-energy powertrain options - the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine and the 420-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. fueled by the 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane Standard Output engine.

 
Dodge Charger Daytona EV is here to recharge muscle car market

Dodge is making a rebellious stand in the electric vehicle market with its first all-electric muscle car, the Charger Daytona. While most EVs prioritize efficiency and eco-friendliness, Dodge came up with an electric car that delivers thrilling acceleration and a healthy dose of nostalgia.

The heart of the Charger Daytona is an uncompromising powertrain. Gone is the iconic rumble of a Hemi V-8, replaced by dual electric motors. The base R/T version delivers 496 hp, while the Scat Pack variant unleashes a substantial 670 hp. Dodge claims the Daytona will hit 97 km/h in a thrilling 3.3 seconds in Scat Pack trim, putting it in the leagues of performance-focused EVs, although still far off the likes of Tesla Model S Plaid.

The Dodge Charger Daytona uses a 400-volt 93.9 kWh battery with an EPA-estimated range of 510 km on the R/T model. The thirstier Scat pack is rated at 418 km. The peak DC charging rate is 183 kW, giving you an 80% charge in about 28 minutes.

 
New ‘multi-energy’ Dodge Charger wants to reinvent the muscle car

While Ford is sticking to its guns with the traditional V8 format in its Mustang, its Detroit rival Dodge wants to reinvent the muscle car with the all-new Charger.

Effectively replacing the previous Challenger two-door muscle coupe and Charger four-door models, the latter a popular police car in the US, the new Charger will be available in both two-door and four-door formats, with the latter launching early next year.

Both are built on the new Stellantis STLA Large multi-energy platform, which is also expected to underpin the battery-powered Alfa Romeo Giulia replacement.

Screeching out the starting blocks with all-electric power, the new Challenger represents a sad day for those who loved the good ol’ Hemi V8. But there is still some consolation for those legions of fans who are not ready to give up combustion power.

From early 2025 the American carmaker will also offer two petrol models powered by the new 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six Hurricane engine. It will be available in two outputs, with the Sixpack S.O. version offering 313kW and the Sixpack H.O. pumping out 410kW.

 
Judge Takes Away Man's Dodge Charger Hellcat After He Acted Like A Hellcat Owner

A Seattle judge said the "Belltown Hellcat" owner is barred from driving his Charger Hellcat, but he can still drive anything else.

An infamous Dodge Charger Hellcat driver who would film himself recklessly driving and speeding in his “Belltown Hellcat” has been barred from driving the car. Not any car. He can still drive if he wants to. He just cannot drive his Hellcat anymore. I thought this was America.

At the end of March, Miles Hudson was pulled over in the Sodo neighborhood of Seattle, Washington when police heard him revving his engine to a “deafening” degree, according to a police report Then, just a couple days later on April 2, Hudson was pulled over again and cops let him know they had seen his Instagram videos and knew he had over 700,000 followers, according to the Seattle Times.

Now though, as a condition of his release from jail after a hearing on April 9, the 20-year-old can’t drive the 2023 Charger Hellcat Jailbreak locals absolutely hate for at least a year, KING NBC 5 reports. Like I said, he can still drive any other car. I’ve never seen anything like this, and it’s so funny.

Here’s more about how this whole ordeal started and what exactly Hudson did to loose his cherished Hellcat, from KING 5:
