Dodge has announced the global debut of the world’s first and only electric muscle car, the all-new Dodge Charger. This new multi-energy muscle car is set to electrify a legend and retain its title as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.
The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which is all-electric, delivers an impressive 670 horsepower and is expected to reach 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. It is also estimated to run the quarter-mile in just 11.5 seconds. In addition, the electrified models include the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, which has 496 horsepower.
The all-new Dodge Charger comes with standard all-wheel drive and offers performance choices through multi-energy powertrain options, including 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.
“The electrified 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers Charger Hellcat Redeye levels of performance and announces its presence through the world’s 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,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “The next generation of Dodge muscle has arrived.”
The Dodge brand has announced that production of the all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T two-door coupe versions will commence in mid-2024. Production of the all-electric four-door Daytona Scat Pack and R/T models will begin in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, gas-powered two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. models are also scheduled to begin production in the first quarter of 2025. These vehicles will be built at the Windsor (Ontario) Assembly Plant.
The announcement of the all-electric Charger Daytona models and cleaner-running Hurricane engine-powered Charger SIXPACK offerings align with the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This plan aims to cut Stellantis’ global carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 with the help of electrified and more efficient propulsion systems. The ultimate goal is to lead the transportation industry by achieving net carbon zero by 2038.
