The eternal 'muscle car' brand, American Dodge, is properly transforming its latest model. Starting with the fact that the Charger will now be available with a conventional fuel engine as well as an electric one. However, fans of the brand have to give up one important thing, which is anything but V8 engine The model, which will be available from next year, will hit the roads with a 6-cylinder turbo engine – He writes And CNN.
According to the manufacturer, the 8-cylinder solution will not return in the future.
However, the electric version still holds surprises: with the help of an inverter and several chambers, it will be possible to adjust how much customers want to have a car that is as loud as possible, leaning towards the traditional type, but still environmentally friendly.
Those who want a charger because of its speed will have to choose the battery model, Since the most powerful version of the series is capable of 670 hp. This performance allows the car to accelerate from zero to 161 km/h in 3.3 seconds.
This innovation is quite surprising, given that Dodge is replacing two brands that have been dominant since the 2000s and haven't been seriously addressed in a decade.
Electrification makes it faster, not more politically correct
– said Tim Kuniskis, General Manager of Dodge, thus preventing anger.
Offering gasoline power only as an option is one way Dodge is trying to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards while trying to retain traditional customers who love and appreciate the sound and feel of mechanical power.
The two-door Charger Daytona electric model is scheduled to begin production this year, while the gasoline engine and four-door Charger versions will be available starting in early 2025. Dodge has not yet announced pricing.
