Electric cars are better than muscle cars, says Dodge

Dodge is trying hard to convince their customers that they should buy an electric car. Now the director has been sent out to defend the new Charger Daytona.

It is both an electric car and a loudspeaker at the same time. So understood in the sense that the Dodge Charger Daytona uses a fake engine sound.

And now the brand's new director, Matt McAlear, says that the electric car is actually a better muscle car than the fossil car.

It happens in an interview with Motor1 .

It is not a new electric car that Dodge has created, but their bid for the best possible 'muscle car', according to the director.

The Charger Daytona Scat Pack has 670 horsepower, and Dodge believes it must be impossible to tune. At least outside the factory and the brand's own workshops. Read more about it here .

The fastest version of the Charger Daytona will be able to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h (0 to 60 miles per hour, ed.) in 3.3 seconds and overcome the famous quarter mile in 11.5 seconds. That is, until an even faster version is sent to the streets. That, McAlear assures, Dodge is already working on.

It's not all electric motors and fake engine noise, though. Because on the STLA Large platform, Dodge can also build cars with a combustion engine. And although the Charger will never ever again get a V8 engine (from the factory, ed.), investment is being made in the development of the three-liter inline six that the Stellantis group already has lying around.

The engine with the name 'Hurricane' in the Dodge Charger gets anything between 420 and 550 horsepower over time. The new nickname for the car with a petrol engine will be 'sixpack'.
