The electric Dodge Charger Daytona arrives first, but Stellantis clearly has plans for a hybrid system within its muscle car lineup.
A patent application for a hybrid-specific launch control system from the automaker was published by theAug. 8, 2024, after being filed by Stellantis in February. The application discusses not only applying launch control—which assists the driver in getting off the line quickly—to hybrids., which generally require the driver to hold the brake and accelerator pedals and then release the brake pedal to set off, don't work well with hybrid powertrains, Stellantis claims in the application.
Stellantis' proposed alternative would switch priority to the hybrid system's controller, ensuring that both the internal-combustion and electric motor are on the same page. AThe type of internal-combustion engine Stellantis has in mind isn't mentioned in the patent application, but the automaker does discuss a, one electric motor used for propulsion, and a second belt-driven starter/generator motor. So it's possible we'll see this layout on future Stellantis hybrids.
Among Stellantis' many brands, hybrids with launch control seem like the best fit for Dodge. The muscle-car brand is so committed to living life a quarter mile at a time that itarrives later this year in all-electric Daytona form, with a twin-turbo inline-6 powertrain following in 2025. Perhaps we'll see a hybrid as well.
