All you need to know about the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept
Introducing the revolutionary Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept, a groundbreaking entry into the world of high-performance vehicles. At the heart of this innovation is the Banshee propulsion system, a technology that sets the new 'pinnacle of performance,' surpassing the benchmarks set by its Hemi, Hellcat, and Redeye counterparts.
The concept's 800V powertrain, coupled with four-wheel drive, propels it to claim superiority over the Hellcat in 'all key performance measures.' While specific power and performance details remain undisclosed, Dodge draws inspiration from the 1970 Charger Daytona, an iconic Nascar competitor that made history as the first to break the 200mph barrier.
Stay tuned as Dodge transforms the landscape of performance cars with this electrifying concept, embodying the spirit of speed and innovation that defines the Charger Daytona legacy.
In addition to its remarkable performance enhancements, the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept integrates several groundbreaking technologies seldom seen in traditional electric vehicles.
Notably, it embraces a multi-speed transmission with electro-mechanical shifting, elevating the driving dynamics to new heights.
A standout feature is the inclusion of the 'Powershot' button, an innovation that injects a swift burst of acceleration, promising an electrifying driving experience.
Adding a symphony to its powerful performance, Dodge introduces the special 'Fratzonic chambered exhaust' system. Emitting a commanding 126dB noise—comparable to the thunderous sound of a 787bhp V8-powered Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat—this system comprises an amplifier and tuning chamber strategically positioned at the rear of the car.

While the Charger Daytona SRT maintains the familiar design elements of the standard Charger, Dodge has elevated its aerodynamics with a custom R-Wing and performance bonnet, promising an enhanced driving experience.
Inside the cockpit, the Charger Daytona SRT boasts a 12.3-inch screen and a 16-inch curved instrument cluster, providing a futuristic and immersive driving interface. Complementing this high-tech setup is an 8.3-inch head-up display, ultraviolet design features, and ambient lighting, creating an ambiance that reflects the car's electrifying performance.
The attention to detail extends to the lightweight seats, featuring the iconic Fratzog logo and accentuated with blue plasma and silver stitching. Dodge emphasizes the model's practicality, touting flat-folding rear seats and increased storage space compared to previous Dodge muscle cars.
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis expressed, 'The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept exists because performance made us do it.' This concept, laden with patents, innovations, and performance features, embodies the electrified muscle of tomorrow. Kuniskis concludes, 'Charger Daytona does more than define where Dodge is headed; it will redefine American muscle in the process, outrunning not just the car show circuit but also product cycles, embodying the relentless spirit of Dodge—muscle, attitude, and unparalleled performance in the BEV segment.'
