The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is a concept unveiled on August 17, 2022 during the third day of the Dodge Speed Week event in Pontiac, Michigan.[5] It has a new powertrain called the Banshee,[6] which Dodge says acts as the new pinnacle of performance in the Brotherhood of Muscle, eclipsing the Hemi, Hellcat and Redeye engines.[7]

It is set to appear alongside the DeLorean Alpha5 in the Fast X movie.[8] A nearly identical production version is expected to be unveiled closer to 2024.[9]

Dodge showed a red Charger Daytona SRT concept at SEMA in November 2022, including a Bugatti-like speed key for increasing power up to 670 hp (500 kW).[10][11]

Overview

Rear view

Said to preview the brand's electrified future, it features a Fratzonic Chambered exhaust system that can reach 126 dB, making it as loud as a Hellcat-powered Dodge.[12] The system pushes its sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle.[12]

According to Dodge, the new Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is coming in 2024.[13]

In August 2023 it was reported that the production version of Charger Daytona SRT will be available with a petrol 3.0 inline 6 from the Jeep Wagoneer L, while the range topping Daytona will be fully electric powered.[14]
