The idea of an electric muscle car has had fans up in arms, but we’re pleased that the electrification of an icon has yielded positive results. The exterior of the new Dodge Charger Daytona in sedan and coupe form leaves no doubt about its heritage – it’s all muscle, with a wide body appearance and classic styling up front that is pure Challenger to our eyes.
The nose bears a distinctive white full-width LED lighting strip, and the logo is laser-etched into the headlamps. There’s also a patent-pending front R-Wing pass-through above the grille that is designed to enhance aerodynamic downforce. Central to this is the iconic Fratzog logo, revived for this new era of muscle. At the rear, the lower fascia is blacked out and debossed with the logo and Fratzonic text near the exhaust system. The red “ring of fire” LED taillamps are arresting, with the illuminated Fratzog logo in the center.
A gloss black painted roof comes standard, but all models have the option of a full-length glass roof instead. Paint colors for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona include some familiar favorites: After Dark, Bludicrous (late availability), Destroyer Grey, Diamond Black, Peel Out, Redeye, Triple Nickel, and White Knuckle.
R/T models get 18-inch Tech Silver wheels as standard, while 20-inch items in Satin Carbon are equipped with the Scat Pack. There are a total of nine new wheel designs with the Fratzog logo on the center caps. Customization by way of the Blacktop Package will also switch out the wheels for 20 inches in black.
