American car brands have been mulling what an electric muscle car might look like – Dodge is the first to show its hand with the Charger Daytona SRT Concept...
The Charger Daytona SRT Concept EV features a multi-speed electromechanical gearbox called ‘eRupt’, controllable via a traditional gear selector. While most EVs don’t utilise a multi-gear transmission, Porsche’s Taycan utilises a two-speed transmission that works completely silently in the background. eRupt, however, won’t be quite so subtle.
The Charger Daytona will also feature an augmented engine noise generator, emitted from the rear of the car and then amplified through what Dodge are calling a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. The system will be synced-up with road speed and the transmission, with Dodge confirming that it’ll actually match the current Hellcat for volume at 126bD.
The lighting structures front and rear feature a letter-box silhouette, and at the front also acts as a wing, drawing air inside it and accelerating it over the bonnet – not dissimilar to a Ferrari 488 Pista or Jaguar I Pace. Given its relatively production-friendly proportions, we expect the road-going variant to share most of the visible design elements, although details like the wing mirrors and wheels will likely be changed.
So, if you were wondering how the American muscle car might be reimagined for the electric era, Dodge has gotten in first.
