Dodge Presents its Electric Muscle Car, the Charger Daytona SRT concept
Photo: Dodge Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept, profile It's been a big week at Dodge as the announcements keep coming as part of Dodge Speed Week in Michigan. After confirming a Challenger convertible for 2023 and unveiling the new Hornet SUV, the company has now presented, in concept form, its first electric muscle car.
Not everything has been revealed regarding the powertrain underpinning what is at this stage still just a design study, but we do know that its electric architecture will be 800 volts, which is double the current standard, although other vehicles using an 800-volt structure, including the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, as well as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 duo, are already on the market.
However, the most intriguing part is the technology identified as “Fratzonic”, the mission of which is to reproduce, thanks to the presence of an exhaust chamber, the sound that characterizes a Dodge muscle car. We’re talking about 126 decibels, which is pretty in-your-face. The name comes from the word Fratzog, a nickname given to the logo that appeared on the brand's muscle cars back in the day.
However, we note the presence of a rear hatch, indicating at least some practicality for the model which can accommodate a second row bench that folds flat to offer meaningful cargo space.
