The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept EV shown off at SEMA highlights some of the power ratings of the forthcoming electric muscle car.
is coming to the annual SEMA aftermarket show in Las Vegas from Nov. 1-4. It's called the Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept, and it previews a drag racing version of the car, as well as power upgrades to be offered through Dodge's Direct Connection aftermarket arm. Dodge also released possible power figures on Tuesday, the opening day of the SEMA show.
The Daytona SRT Concept's horsepower ratings could preview those of the future production version of the Charger Daytona SRT EV, or whatever it may be called. Power starts at 455 hp and is accompanied by all-wheel drive. Dodge names the concept models for the combined kilowatt rating of their motors, much like it did with the cubic-inch size of the Dodge Charger SRT 392. The Daytona SRT Concept 440 makes 590 hp.
To unlock the extra power, buyers will download and install OTA software based on their VINs. They will also get a crystal key to authenticate the upgrades.The Banshee Concept appears at SEMA in Stryker Red instead of the Greys of Thunder fans have already seen. It sits on 305-mm drag radials mounted on 18-inch center lock wheels with aluminum center sections, carbon-fiber rims, and titanium bolts. Kuniskis said the light weight of the wheels will improve the moment of inertia.
SEMA attendees will get a chance to influence the Charger Daytona's sound. Dodge will start and rev the car throughout the event to show off its unique Fratzonic exhaust system. The Fratzonic system has a tailpipe and an underbody chamber with baffles. A speaker up front moves air through the baffles to create a sound that should approximate the way an engine revs based on throttle position.
Dodge says the way the car sounds could influence the purchase decision. In clinics, the company said 48% of millennials are considering an EV for their next purchase, and 51% of them said a BEV exhaust sound would increase the likelihood of purchase.For more from the show, check out
