Dodge unveils new electric muscle car concept that could replace the Challenger and Charger

Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept car

Dodge on Wednesday unveiled a new concept car called the Charger Daytona SRT as a preview of its first all-electric muscle car in four years.

The first look at what the new vehicle will look like is a two-door car. The car has a number of new technologies that are meant to make it feel like a muscle car.

Tim Kuniskis, the CEO of Dodge, believes that the new car will redefine American muscle.

The current Dodge Challenger has a more aerodynamic, but muscular, design that resembles the concept vehicle. The front end of the plane has a large opening for air to pass through.

The “R-Wing” of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept car features a Fratzog logo in the middle of it.

The front wing as well as the vehicle's "Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust" and "eRupt" multispeed transmission are patents pending.

The exhaust and multispeed transmission are unique because electric vehicles only drive in one gear and are relatively silent.

Concept vehicles are often used to gauge customer interest or show the direction of a vehicle. The vehicles are not intended to be sold to people.

Many of the design elements of the Charger Daytona are expected to be used in a production vehicle.

He said that the project was not a science one. It sounds like a Dodge and drives like one.

The production electric muscle car is expected to launch with three different levels of performance. The 800-voltBanshee system is used in the concept car.

Dodge didn't release expected performance metrics for the concept car or production car.

Dodge said on Monday that it would cease production of its gas-powered muscle cars at the end of next year.

The car's patent pending technologies are meant to retain the sound and driving characteristics of Dodge's current gas-powered Charger and Challenger.

The driving dynamics that many performance car owners enjoy are missing from EV's. As the industry transitions to electric vehicles, auto executives have been trying to find a solution.

If it happened, we would do it like Dodge. We are not going to do the same things. If we try to do the same things as everyone else, Dodge will get lost.

The concept Charger has an exhaust system that pushes sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber at the back of the vehicle. He likened it to a wind organ.

He said that the eRupt technology is a multispeed transmission that delivers distinctive shift points.

According to S&P Global's principal analyst, the innovations could help Dodge retain its performance characteristics as well as its buyers.

She said it's exactly what you would expect from a Dodge EV. It looks like a part and it sounds like one.

The concept vehicle was inspired by Dodge's past. Dodge has used a number of different names for the car.

The front end of the Daytona car inspired the R-Wing. The original generations began in the 1960s and were two-door, similar to the concept of today's Charger.

The "Fratzonic" exhaust is a reference to a logo Dodge used from 1962 through 1976 called the "Fratzog." The deltoid is made of three shapes and has a three-pointed star on it.

The electric range of the vehicles is not expected to be impacted by the design elements and technologies.

It's a muscle car, so don't care, it's awesome.
