Dodge is moving fast. The Brotherhood of Muscle will switch from V8s to volts in 2022.

At the end of the 2023 model year, the Charger and Challenger will be retired.

The Dodge concept car is an example of an electric vehicle. The Dodge muscle cars of the past have a blocky muscular look. It is powered by electrons rather than bombs.

The world got a second look at the car along with the first set of specifications.

We compare American muscle to Dodge Challenger.

Now in red, maybe in dealerships

The Las Vegas convention of the Specialty Equipment Market Association is where automakers and aftermarket parts suppliers show off wildly modified concept cars that show off all the creative enhancements they'll offer the world's tuning shops.

The Challenger Daytona concept won't make it to production. We can't promise that the car you see above will be on the lot. It is more polished than many concept cars, so we think it will sell a lot in the next few years.

It will be on the wheels in red.

California has a ban on gas cars, even if you don't live there.

Three power levels, each with upgrades

Dodge gave some performance information.

MarketWatch on Multiple devices

The concept could be offered in nine different configurations. Three will be brought to SEMA.

eStage 1 and 2 could be offered as over-the-air downloads. Three steps are provided for each power level.

The company doesn't know how many electric motor the Daytona uses. Multiple power levels for electric cars are offered by many manufacturers. The low end may be a rear-wheel-drive model with just one electric motor. All-wheel drive may be a more powerful model. We are not sure, but we are speculating.

The company didn't give any information on range or charging times.

The Ford mustang Mach-E is fast and exciting.

Still tuning that exhaust note

The Daytona is still being developed.

The exhaust system on the car is the first of its kind. It is a series of chambered pipes that use actual air flow to produce sound.

The Dodge was going to ask attendees at the show what noise the car should make. We found the note too high for our tastes, so we're happy to hear that it's still subject to change
