The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is the production version of the brand’s Charger Daytona SRT Concept that debuted in 2022. The concept was a mostly production-ready version of the brand’s first-ever electric muscle car, and the Charger Daytona didn’t stray too far from the concept’s clean-shaven yet bulbous design. The front has a Dodge-patented and vintage-inspired R-Wing front bumper design to enhance battery cooling while improving downforce, while the rear features a “Ring of Fire” LED taillight design.

I speculated that a Widebody of the new car might need lights like a heavy-duty truck or one of the off-road specials like a Ram TRX or the Ford Raptor models. And then I thought, «Wait, actually, could it actually need that lighting, since that would be mighty wide?» So I went to double-check, which led me down a small rabbit hole of lighting law.
The all-new Dodge Charger Daytona is finally here, yet despite our comprehensive coverage of the vehicle’s details, some aspects remain shrouded in mystery. Today, the design boss at Stellantis confirmed that both versions of the new vehicle are even more closely related than you’d think. They share the same roof and floor, despite the sedan having two more doors.We already knew that the new Charger was a big vehicle.
