Performance

For those leaning toward electrification, the Charger Daytona EV offers two trims: the R/T with 496 horsepower and the Scat Pack with a staggering 670 horsepower. These models are powered by a 93.9 kWh battery and feature dual-motor all-wheel drive. An optional Direct Connection Stage kit provides a temporary power boost-40 horsepower for the R/T and 80 horsepower for the Scat Pack-making the Daytona a true electric muscle car.
