Dodge takes a giant step forward on the performance brand’s road to an electrified future, revealing the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT. The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept offers a glimpse at the brand’s electric future through a vehicle that drives like a Dodge, looks like a Dodge, and sounds like Dodge, but just happens to be a battery-electric vehicle. In addition, three game-changing, patent-pending features make up the Charger Daytona SRT Concept’s core: R-Wing, Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, and eRupt.
Dodge has built a reputation as America’s muscle car brand. Dodge has launched their first-ever electric car in the race to be faster, quicker, and more powerful. The Charger Daytona SRT Concept packs a performance punch thanks to a new propulsion system. The 800V Banshee propulsion system powers the Charger Daytona SRT Concept making Dodge’s first electric vehicle faster than a Hellcat in all key performance measures. The standard all-wheel-drive system is key to pushing beyond Hellcat performance while improving all-weather capability.
Unlike a typical battery-electric vehicle, Dodge’s eRupt multi-speed transmission with electro-mechanical shifting delivers specific shift points, throwing shoulders into seatbacks in true Dodge style. In addition, the Charger Daytona SRT Concept also boasts a PowerShot push-to-pass feature. Activated by pushing a button on the steering wheel, PowerShot delivers an adrenaline jolt of increased horsepower for a quick burst of acceleration.
While most BEVs embrace their virtually silent electric motors, that is just not Dodge’s style, which is where the industry-first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust comes in. The Charger Daytona SRT Concept voices a 126 dB roar that equals the SRT Hellcat, generated through a new, patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust pushes its one-of-a-kind performance sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber at the vehicle’s rear. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust represents the next generation of tactile, bone-shaking, muscle attitude, creating a sound profile experience in concert with the eRupt transmission.
The Charger Daytona SRT Concept’s patent-pending R-Wing pays homage to the original Charger Daytona design while maintaining the characteristically blunt Dodge profile while developing a more aerodynamic vehicle. The R-Wing is the key figure behind the development of the original car, allowing air to flow through the front opening and enhancing downforce. The R-Wing holds to the brand’s dramatic exterior themes while delivering an aerodynamically improved pass-through design. Carbon-fiber intakes tucked into both sides of the front, and rear lower fascias provide an air curtain to assist in aerodynamic performance.
