With the launch of a new generation of Dodge Charger Daytona, the American muscle car has officially entered the era of electric vehicles, the muscle car shape in everyone's impression is full of power, known for its large displacement engine and linear acceleration ability, the characteristics of electric vehicles are also in line with the positioning of this type of car, suitable for straight-line acceleration, but subject to weight, cornering ability in general, so what are the characteristics of the new generation of Dodge Charger Daytona electric vehicle? What are the differences between the new domestic car-making forces? Let's break it down in detail.

Chassis suspension

As part of the Stellantis Group, Dodge can now share a platform within the group, built on the STLA Large Vehicle Platform, an architecture specifically designed for electric vehicles that can accommodate a variety of suspension modules and powertrains to suit the vehicle's performance goals.

The Charger Daytona features a multi-link front suspension that uses forged aluminium links to reduce weight and improve front-axle agility while maintaining stiffness. The independent rear suspension focuses on performance, with optimized front geometry and enhanced steering feedback, and a four-link structure for high-speed stability and better control of the body when cornering at high speeds.

On the high-performance SCAT Pack model, users can choose dual-valve active suspension, using adaptive damping, the dual-valve structure one is used to control compression, the other is used to control rebound, through the body accelerometer, wheel accelerometer and ride height sensor to monitor the vehicle's driving dynamics, in different driving modes, automatically adjust the damping, reduce cornering roll, while absorbing more road vibrations in bumpy roads.

In order to bring the heavyweight electric muscle car to a quick stop, Dodge put a lot of effort into braking, using the record-breaking size brake discs in the brand's history, 16-inch Brembo ventilated brake discs matched with 6-piston brake calipers, and some family cars have only 16-inch wheel sizes, and you can imagine how big the brake disc alone is 16 inches, which is 30% more area than the old Challenger SRT version, with less thermal degradation.

In order to cope with the high torque of the motor, wide tires are an indispensable equipment for electric vehicles, Dodge equipped the new car with 20-inch wheels, with Goodyear's front 305 35 ZR20 and rear 325 35 ZR20 tires, the width of 305mm is similar to the size of the rear tires of the Porsche 911, and it is about 100mm wider than the average family car.

2024 Dodge Charger DaytonaPracticality

The first power is endurance

The Dodge Charger is currently only available in two all-wheel drive all-electric versions, with a 3 to come in the futureThe petrol version of the 0T V6 engine, the high-performance SCAT Pack delivers 670 hp and a 0-96km h acceleration time of 33 seconds, quarter-mile acceleration time is 115 seconds, the RT version delivers 496 horsepower. In the future, the two versions with the Hurricane V6 engine will have a power of 420 hp and 550 hp respectively, which is comparable to the old HEMI V8 engine.

To improve range, the motor at the front can be disconnected, and the integrated drive module at the rear also has a mechanical limited-slip differential to increase cornering speed. The battery comes standard with 1005 degrees of ternary lithium, the R T version has a range of 510 km, the battery pack structure is prismatic, and the rigid shell increases the rigidity of the chassis, while providing the unique heat dissipation capacity of high-performance vehicles, bringing 550kW of discharge power, and the battery battery pack can provide 100With an installed capacity of 5 kWh and a peak discharge rate of 550 kW, the battery does not overheat after multiple intense accelerations.

The Charger also has a PowerShot mode, which overclocks the motor for 15 seconds and increases power by 40 hp, making it ideal for acceleration or overtaking.

Second driving mode

Dodge offers a driving mode that is rarely seen on electric vehicles, first of allDonut mode, the vehicle releases the traction control system intervention, only rotates the rear wheels and rotates around the front wheels, turns in place, of course, the driving skills need to pass; And secondly, it isDrift modeThe driver can choose between three levels of slip angle, the torque is biased towards the rear axle, the front shock absorber is softer, the rear shock absorber is stiffer, resulting in oversteer, one-touch drift, novice can also achieve.

In addition, there are:Acceleration lock modeAfter starting, the front wheel is automatically braked and locked, the front axle motor is disconnected, and only the rear wheel rotates at high speed, burning the tire on the spot, so that the tire can quickly enter the working temperature in order to start and accelerate faster. For the pro-level game, Dodge also broughtMatch Preparation ModeThe battery is automatically heated, so that the battery enters a reasonable working temperature and discharges faster.

Third ride

The Charger Daytona is available in two versions, including a two-door and a four-door carThe wheelbase is exactly the same, the rear row of the four-door version is more convenient to get on and off, and the interior design is inspired by the vintage muscle car of 1968, 12The 3-inch ** display is tilted towards the driver, wireless charging and 64-color ambient lighting have also become standard for Dodge, and the high-performance version can choose a sports bucket chair to bring more sufficient wrapping, and due to the hatchback design, the rear seats can be folded and the trunk can be penetrated, forming a 1090L cargo space, so that muscle cars can also have large space.

Car Pick Detective Viewpoint:Compared with the new domestic car-making forces, the electrified muscle car still pays attention to the driving pleasure, such as the mode specially set for straight line acceleration, drifting, in-situ tire burning, etc., and at the same time simulates the exhaust sound through the radiator, adding a touch of fun to the quiet electric car.
