The Charger Daytona EV R/T launches from 0 to 60 mph in a lightning-fast 4.7 seconds and finishes the quarter-mile run in 12.6 seconds. On the Scat Pack model, the battery delivers a full 550 kW of power to the electric motors as soon as you press the accelerator. It then maintains a steady output of 500 kW over a quarter mile, enabling the motors to transfer 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque to the ground via all four wheels. The Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack catapults to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and completes the quarter-mile run in 11.5 seconds. Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust While most performance EV manufacturers settle for the soft whine of the electric motors, Dodge developed the world's first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. The ground-breaking exhaust system announces the Charger Daytona EV's arrival with a visceral roar that is reminiscent of the HEMI V8. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system incorporates dual bespoke extreme bandwidth transducers, dual Fratzonic Chamber-loaded passive radiators, and a dedicated amplifier that delivers up to 600 watts of power. The system matches the sound output to the driver input, producing different notes for actions such as powering up, accelerating, and decelerating. If you want complete silence, you can turn off the exhaust system by engaging Stealth Mode. Futuristic Design The Charger Daytona EV's design matches its groundbreaking performance, impressing onlookers and declaring its status as a muscle car of the future. The front fascia features LED high- and low-beam headlights, available cross-car running lights, and an illuminated Fratzog badge that pays tribute to Dodge Muscle cars of the 1960s. Additionally, an R-Wing front aero pass-through adds an athletic look to the front end and reduces lift by up to 30%. Drivers can choose between a series of unique wheel designs for the R/T model, including the standard 18x8.5-inch Tech Silver wheels and the available 20x9-inch Diamond Cut Baltic wheels. By default, the Scat Pack rides on 20x11/11.5-inch Satin Carbon wheels, but drivers can opt for the available 20x11/11.5-inch Luster wheels. Shopping for a muscle car?

When the wheels of your Dodge are perfectly aligned, you'll enjoy smooth and highly responsive driving. However, all road vehicles eventually suffer from misaligned tires that become knocked out of proper positioning by bumps over potholes or against curbs. Misalignment can lead to all kinds of handling and steering issues, and eventually pose a safety threat. Here are eight signs of poor tire alignment that should prompt you to visit your local Dodge dealership to have your wheels set straight. more 8 Signs Your Dodge Needs a Tire Alignment Uneven Tire Wear When a car's wheels are pressing against the tarmac at unusual angles, the tires start to wear down unevenly. This shortens tire lifespan and also raises the risk of skids and blowouts. Squealing Tires The awkward angles of misaligned tires often cause them to squeal when the car corners. The incorrect angle makes the tires slide slightly or scrub against the tarmac, generating the squealing sound. Veering to One Side You may also find your car pulling to one side when the wheels aren't perfectly straight. This will become most noticeable when driving along a straight stretch of road; you'll start drifting toward the neighboring lane. Crooked Steering Wheel The steering system is directly connected to the suspension and wheels. Misaligned tires put pressure on the steering column, sometimes twisting it out of shape, which can cause the steering wheel to become fixed at a crooked off-center angle. Loose Steering Wheel With misaligned tires putting strain on the suspension and steering system, your steering will also become less precise. The steering wheel could start to feel looser in your hands, with more free play and a less firm and responsive feel Excess Vibrations With misaligned wheels and the resultant uneven tire wear, your car will begin generating more road noise and vibrations. So if your rides are becoming less smooth and quiet, have the alignment of your wheels checked. Poor Gas Mileage Fuel efficiency is optimized when the wheels of your car are perfectly parallel. The more they come out of proper alignment, the more rolling friction is created, which causes gas mileage to gradually diminish. Visibly Misaligned Tires If misalignment becomes really bad, you'll notice something strange about the appearance of your ordinarily beautiful Dodge. When viewed directly from the front, you may clearly see that the wheels are crooked. Have Your Wheel Alignment Measured at Your Dodge Dealership It's advisable to have the alignment of your tires measured twice a year, which requires specialist machinery and training. If our technicians find that the wheels are out of alignment, they can quickly return them to the proper factory positioning.
