Eminem and Dodge Unite for Complex Magazine Cover

Rapper Showcases The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Stage 2 In A Stunning Photo Shoot...

Robert S. Miller July 31, 2024

Dodge recently teamed up with renowned rapper Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, for a unique photo shoot with Complex magazine. Eminem, who has had a longstanding relationship with the Chrysler Group, brought his characteristic style to the shoot, which recreated scenes from his latest music video, “Houdini,” a hit from his newest album, “The Death of Slim Shady.” The music video has already garnered over 126 million views on YouTube, showcasing Eminem dressed as his Rap Boy persona from “Without Me” while cruising through a Gotham City-like setting with Dr. Dre.

For the Complex magazine cover shoot, photographer Cian Moore sought to capture the essence of the “Houdini” music video. The standout feature of the shoot was the inclusion of a brand-new 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Stage 2, lent by Dodge specifically for the occasion. This powerful vehicle added a dynamic edge to the photos, aligning with Eminem’s bold and rebellious image.

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Stage 2 is a high-performance electric vehicle that boasts impressive specs. It features twin 335-horsepower electric motors, one powering the front wheels and the other powering the rear wheels. This setup creates a combined 670 horsepower and an estimated 627 lb.-ft. of instant torque. The rear motor includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, which helps minimize slipping during high-powered all-wheel-drive (AWD) launches. The car also includes Line Lock for performing smoky burnouts and Launch Control for perfect starts off the line.

The Charger Daytona’s 100.5 kWh high-voltage battery is designed with performance in mind. Utilizing high energy density nickel cobalt aluminum chemistry, the battery is packaged into prismatic cell structures and distributed across 13 in-series modules. This design enables the battery to deliver an initial peak of 550 kW of power and sustain over 500 kW for a full 1/4 mile, making it ideal for high-speed performance.

He should be wearing a face mask since he is simping for the nanny state. I can just imagine what the bumper sticker on the car says.

What is his Q Score? Not sure this was the best Choice, half the country and the Key demographic for Muscle cars thinks he is a partisan hack.

Maybe Soyboy Early adopters he Q well. I get he local, Maybe Tim Allen or one of the many other Mopar enthusiast that haven't so publicly became Partisan.

Kevin Hart comes to mind.

There is no denying that Dodge did good on the design of this car. How bright are the headlights going to be because that DRL is super bright

It's actually quite interesting how the setup of the prop (minus Eminem) mirrors the Dodge Commercials of the late 60's and early '70's. Minus the non scalloped door (I will NEVER stop griping about), The more I get to see this car the more I realize just how much this car has gone back to the '68-'70 look and I'm honestly not mad about it. The one shot from the front shows off that this car is very wide indeed and it is a decently sized car just the the Charger was originally. It is unarguably the best looking EV on the market to date but even still I will be waiting for the six pack HO Coupe for my next Charger purchase. I would have considered the Six Pack sedan if it came in the HO variant but Dodge is being weird about that so I'll get the coupe instead. What is interesting to me the the fact that they went with the second gen body and first gen taillights, but I guess that goes along with the second gen body and first gen cargo space and design as the hatch opening of this new Charger is identically shaped to the 66-67 Charger, albeit with a larger opening. While I would prefer some newer variants of the 5.7L Hemi V8 under the hood, The High Output hurricane still promises impressive performance and I figure a few upgrades and the car's exhaust sound may be tolerable or maybe even pleasant. It will never be a big block pushrod V8 with solid lifters, a radical cam and mechanical timing gears or anything like that but it may be alright in a more tuner type of way or even Grand National kind of way. We shall see
