Just a few days after the final end of production of the Charger and Challenger, the Dodge automaker presents the production version of the SRT Daytona electric Charger. We will see the finished car by the end of the year.
Spy photos of undisguised cars, which have not yet been revealed by the automakers, usually make the rounds around the world thanks to some quick photographer. However, for the upcoming Dodge Charger SRT Daytona, images showing the new product in the form of a pre-production piece or a development prototype at a very advanced stage were published by the automaker itself on Facebook.
True, it’s not a detailed look at the upcoming new product, but it’s better than nothing. It can show how little the production car will differ from the concept presented in August 2022. The differences are actually not many, instead of cameras only the classic mirrors are visible. The pass-through front grille remains, as do the proportions and shapes of the car which are reminiscent of the more famous second generation Charger of 1968-1970.
What isn’t 100% sure yet is whether the new Charger will be exclusively an electric car or whether it will also receive a turbocharged inline-six Hurricane. The automaker only talks about electric versions, but the Stellantis company also has a newly developed engine, which in various models will gradually replace the proven, according to some obsolete 5.7-liter eight-cylinder Hemi with OHV distribution. It also powered many variants of previous Chargers and Challengers.
The image of the car seen from behind confirms the name Daytona – it is stamped between the reflectors in the bumper – and from the fact that the exhaust pipes are missing, we think we are looking at an electric car. One of the rumors from August last year was that the electric versions will carry the Daytona name and the conventional ones will be “simply” chargers.
Let’s not be surprised for now by what the car manufacturer will eventually present. Whatever it is, it should arrive this year.
