Chronology
Predecessor

The eighth-generation Dodge Charger is a battery electric and internal combustion engine full-size car manufactured by Stellantis North America under the Dodge marque. Initially with the electric Charger Daytona in December 2024, and gasoline Charger Sixpack in December 2025.

The eighth-generation Charger is available in two-door and four-door liftback body styles, with the former acting as a replacement to the third-generation Challenger.

Concept car

The concept car version called the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT was unveiled on August 17, 2022 during the third day of the Dodge Speed Week event in Pontiac, Michigan.[5] Dodge announced that it will be produced in 2024.[6][7] It has a new powertrain called the Banshee,[8] which Dodge says acts as the new pinnacle of performance in the Brotherhood of Muscle, eclipsing the Hemi, Hellcat and Redeye engines.[9]

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.[10] The system pushes its sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle.[10]

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 (679 PS; 500 kW).[11][12]

The concept car appeared alongside the DeLorean Alpha5 in the Fast X movie.[13]

Both come standard with all-wheel drive and a 100.5 kilowatt-hour battery.

In August 2023, it was reported that the production version of the Charger will be available with a gasoline inline-six Hurricane engine, while the range topping Daytona will be fully electric powered.[17]

The engine offered for the Charger R/T at 420 hp (426 PS; 313 kW) and for the Charger Scat Pack at 550 hp (558 PS; 410 kW).[18] It is able to be switched from all-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive.[19]

In the Charger Sixpack range, the Charger Scat Pack is to be released first, in late 2025, with the Charger R/T to release in the first half of 2026.[20] The two-door Scat Pack is to begin deliveries in December 2025.[21]
