“The electrified 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers Charger Hellcat Redeye levels of performance and announces its presence through the world’s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, while Hurricane engine-powered Dodge Charger SIXPACK models will give the Brotherhood of Muscle a gas option that produces better horsepower and torque numbers than the outgoing 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI engines,” declared Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO.

The Charger Daytona models, adorned with patent-pending features like the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust and Direct Connection Stage kits, embody the pinnacle of automotive performance and innovation. Notably, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack boasts a PowerShot feature, providing an instant 40-horsepower boost for adrenaline-fueled moments.

Enhancing both form and function, the Charger’s muscular exterior design exudes confidence and power. From the patent-pending front R-Wing to the distinctive LED lighting signatures, every detail reflects the Charger’s unrivaled presence on the road.

The exterior’s pure design aesthetic carries over to the dynamic, driver-focused interior design of the all-new Dodge Charger, enhancing the modern, visceral feel of the new cockpit.
