Dodge plots out an electric future with a Charger Daytona concept rife with '68 throwback cues.
Dodge has staked its claim as a muscle car brand. Its Charger and Challenger have carried muscle car looks and performance since the mid-2000s. That's not going to change in the brand's electric future as shown by the Charger Daytona SRT Concept the brand showed on Wednesday.in Pontiac, Michigan, is the biggest.
Dodge chose the name Charger Daytona in honor of the first car that went 200 mph on a racetrack, the basket-handled 1970 Charger Daytona of NASCAR fame. While Dodge isn't providing power specifications, the company says its new Banshee electric powertrain will provide all-wheel drive and help the car outperform Hellcat models in all key measurements. We take that to mean at least two motors, if not more, that team up to make 800 hp or more.
The nose also sports an illuminated"Fratzog" badge, which appeared on Dodge cars from 1962 to '76. While Dodge said it had no meaning back then, the brand claims it now represents Dodge's electrified future. Slim headlights sit at the edges of the nose and the whole front end has a ringed lighting signature that's echoed in red at the rear similar to the current Charger.
