Charger Daytona SRT

Love the concept but in reality this should be a 4 door which will kill the lines. Also not sure how a front end like that would pass any pedestrian safety requirements.

Cool concept though.

[ExtraSlow]

Flat front is pedestrian friendly. It's close enough.

Leave it to dodge to add a speaker to their EV that plays V8 noises. If that's not the best example of the character of their brand, idk what is.

Should please the trailer park dwellers that buy those shitboxes though.

I'm glad it didn't make me watch a commercial before that shitty commercial.

Ford used to have a speaker in thier v6 to make it sound like a v8. Not sure we can complain about dodge for that.

Sure we can

[ExtraSlow]

Maybe I mean we can't single dodge out for it.

[killramos]

Fine. Dodge and Audi.

Adding engine noises to an EV is pretty dumb, I'll agree. However, on the other hand, you're looking at the very first company to actually try an make an EV cool in the looks department. I've been asking this question for years, about why manufacturers keep trying to make EV's look like futuristic spaceships? We already have cool looking cars on the road, that consumers purchase for the looks, just copy that and make it electric. Leave it to Dodge to stick to their roots and be the cool car company.

I thought Hyundai nailed that Delorean looking concept

I think Porsche did it with the Taycan pretty well. Tesla Model S is arguably a good one too; you don't have to love the design, but you have to admit it's not trying to be a spaceship. Then at the other end of the spectrum you have the Mercedes EQS (barf) and the Lucid Air (I like it, but it's a spaceship).

Taycan long roof is very nice.

This reminds me of when BB tried to sell us smartphones with hard keyboards.

I was very hesitant to get an electric car after driving nothing but V8s for the past 20 years and ended up settling on a plug-in hybrid mainly because the car just looked so damn cool. My car also has speakers that make the "engine" sound gnarly when I step on it, have to say, I smile every time it happens and don't really care that its fake. Isn't the WWE effectively the same thing and people love that "sport?"

I can honestly say my current vehicle is by far the best car I've ever owned (and I've had over 15 vehicles during that time), its the only vehicle I've owned longer than 2 years and when it dies Ill be getting another one. I also get 5.2L/100k and while I will always love the classic V8s I think this Charger Daytona is a fantastic idea and great looking car. If it looks close to the concept I'll be first in line to get one.

Yeah, the same people that love Dodge Chargers.

Adding ICE engine sounds to an EV is stupid.

If we're going to add sound effects to EVs, it should be the Jetsons car, a lightcycle from Tron, the roving K.I.T.T. sound or something like that.
