Pre-Production Zamac Model Showcases Electrifying New Muscle Car with Opening Doors...
At the recent Gathering of Friends event, Matchbox delighted diecast enthusiasts by unveiling its latest addition to the 1:64 Moving Parts series: a stunning representation of the all-new, all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona. Crafted from Zamac, this pre-production model captures the essence of the production-ready Dodge Charger Daytona with remarkable detail. Although the official release color and wheel pattern are yet to be disclosed, the Zamac casting offers a sneak peek into what collectors can expect in the Moving Parts 2025 lineup.
The Matchbox Dodge Charger Daytona features the innovative R-wing design, showcasing the sleek, aerodynamic aesthetics that define the new era of Dodge muscle cars. One of the standout features of this 1:64 scale model is its opening doors, adding an extra layer of interactivity and realism for collectors and fans alike. This model pays homage to the cutting-edge design of the real Charger Daytona and embodies the spirit of the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle in a miniature form.
The All-New 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T and Scat Pack –
The production 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona First Editions will include the R/T and Scat Pack variants, marking the introduction of the first fully electrified muscle car to the Dodge lineup. These next-generation Charger models debut the STLA Large platform, a highly flexible, BEV-native platform designed to support extreme power and performance. The all-electric, all-wheel-drive Charger Daytona models are powered by a 400-volt propulsion system V8 performance with zero tailpipe emissions and instant torque response.
This advanced system includes a high-voltage battery pack, dual integrated charge module, and front and rear electric drive modules (EDM). The front EDM features a front-wheel end disconnect for improved range and efficiency, while the rear EDM includes a mechanical limited-slip differential for enhanced traction and performance. Each EDM generates 335 horsepower (250 kW) and 300 lb.-ft. of torque, resulting in a combined output that propels the Charger Daytona with exhilarating speed and power.
The battery pack, with a 100.5 kWh installed capacity and a peak discharge rate of 550 kW, is designed to maximize acceleration, particularly over a quarter-mile stretch. The prismatic cell structure offers better thermal performance and structural stability, akin to the high-octane fuel of traditional muscle cars. The Charger Daytona R/T arrives with a Direct Connection Stage 1 upgrade kit that boosts total output to 496 horsepower. The Daytona Scat Pack features a Stage 2 kit that elevates power to a remarkable 670 horsepower. Future models will offer further customization with additional Direct Connection Stage kits.
Matchbox’s 1:64 Moving Parts casting is a perfect tribute to the new electric muscle car, offering collectors a chance to own a piece of automotive history in miniature form. Diecast collectors can expect the Matchbox Moving Parts Dodge Charger Daytona to reach retail stores later this year.
