Electric Dodge Charger Daytona debuts March 5
Automotive News attended the J.D. Power Auto Summit in Las Vegas at the beginning of this month. During one of the panels, a Dodge exec told the audience that the production version of the next-gen, battery-electric Charger Daytona SRT concept would debut on March 5. That gives us exactly one month to wait for the evolution of American muscle. The exec, Matt McAlear, senior vice president of Dodge/SRT sales and marketing, said that primary revisions to the concept concern the side mirrors and the wheels. Otherwise, «this is the real thing,» which appears to be everything we saw in the insider spy photos. That means a two-door fastback — yes, fastback, there's no trunk back there — establishing precedents for all that follows, which has to include a four-door version. We're stoked about a proper coupe on the way, however, Dodge sold almost exactly 45,000 Challengers in 2023, and almost exactly 76,000 Chargers. And we know Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares is all about his money.
