Reborn 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV teased

US car-maker Dodge has released a Christmas advert that provides the first glimpse of the all-new battery-powered Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV ahead of its launch in late 2024.

Staying faithful to the original 2022 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept, the new reboot of the iconic muscle car is shown dashing through the snow with the caption: “Preproduction model shown for illustration purposes only. Available late 2024.”

Sharing the overall proportions and silhouette with the original concept, the biggest change revealed by the new image is the switch to traditional circular headlights, compared to the concept’s pencil-thin LED lights.

Look closer and you’ll spot how the road-going all-electric Charger Daytona EV will also gain pair of traditional door mirrors, in lieu of rear-view cameras, and a more pronounced impact-resistant front bumper.

Finally, the Charger has sprouted a proper door handle but kept the concept’s deeply sculptured front bonnet.

No other details have been revealed but it’s hotly tipped that when it arrives towards the end of 2024, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV will come in three flavours.

The first will be a single-motor variant that will be rear-drive and produce around 300kW.

The next will be a dual-motor version that will produce at least 500kW.

Finally, at the top of the Charger tree, will be the Hellcat-humbling triple-motor version that will share its powertrain with the latest Maserati GranTurismo and produce around 660kW from three e-motors.

While the Charger that produces up to 500kW will come with a 400-volt electrical architecture, the most powerful 660kW model will bag the car-maker’s latest 800-volt architecture that should allow some of the quickest charging times in the business.

Dodge will be the first brand in the Stellantis group to benefit from pioneering tech developed by Maserati for both the GranTurismo and the MC20 Folgore.

As well as the advanced all-electric powertrains, the Charger will still be available with internal combustion engines, although the current 6.4-litre supercharged HEMI V8 will be pensioned off for an all-new 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline six-cylinder Hurricane engine that should produce around 375kW.

Fresh tech to be introduced on the next-gen Charger will include ultra-lightweight 18-inch carbon-fibre wheels and a throttle-influenced sound generator capable of emitting a replicative engine sound at up to 126dB.

Dodge has also promised that the new Charger Daytona EV will be “faster than a Hellcat in all key performance measures”.

That means it’ll need to outperform the likes of the 797hp (594kW) 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, which can blast from 0-60mph (97km/h) in just 3.4 seconds and reach the quarter mile (400m) in 10.6sec at 208km/h.

Considering its launch is less than 12 months away the all-new eighth instalment of the beloved American icon is expected to be revealed in full early next year.
