The Details On The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack

Dodge has just unleashed a new beast onto the automotive scene with the electrifying two-door 2024 Charger Daytona Scat Pack. This powerhouse of a vehicle marks a significant shift in the muscle car landscape, blending cutting-edge electric technology with the raw power and performance that Dodge is renowned for.

Powertrain – 

Underneath the bold and aggressive exterior of the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack lies a revolutionary powertrain that seamlessly blends electrification with the raw power muscle car enthusiasts crave. This coupe’s heartbeat is a state-of-the-art 400-volt system, boasting two electric drive motors (EDMs). One is strategically positioned at the front, while the other resides at the rear, creating an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup that redefines the Charger experience.

Launch Edition / eStage 2 Upgrade – 

The Charger Daytona Scat Pack launch models, a limited-time offering, come equipped with the exclusive Direct Connection eStage 2 upgrade. This upgrade propels the coupe into a league of its own, delivering a jaw-dropping 670 horsepower (500 kW) and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.

This power is harnessed to provide an exhilarating 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds and a quarter-mile sprint in 11.5 seconds, reaffirming the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s status as the quickest and most powerful muscle car on the market – at least until the 800-volt SRT Banshee makes its debut next year.

Top speed for the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack is limited to 134 mph.

Following the initial launch models of the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, the power level settles at an impressive 630 horsepower (440 kW). While slightly lower than the launch models equipped with the Direct Connection eStage 2 upgrade, customers have the flexibility to enhance their Scat Pack’s performance by opting for the eStage 2 upgrade at the time of purchase or anytime during the life of the car.

Powershot – 

For those moments when you need an extra surge of power, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack introduces the PowerShot feature. Activating this function grants an additional 40 horsepower for 15 seconds, elevating your driving experience and ensuring an adrenaline rush at the push of a button.

Battery Pack – 

The Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s power is derived from its 100.5 kWh prismatic battery pack, designed for maximum acceleration and performance. With a peak discharge rate of 550 kW, the Charger can harness its full power potential during intense quarter-mile sprints. The prismatic cell structure ensures stability and superior thermal performance, keeping the battery cool even during high-performance driving.

Charging – 

Charging the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is a breeze, thanks to its compatibility with Level 3 DC CCS fast chargers. Recharging from 20 to 80% takes just over 27 minutes, providing approximately 8.1 miles of range per minute. This means less downtime and more time enjoying the electrifying performance on the road.

Range – 

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack offers a range of 260 miles on a single charge, making it a formidable contender in the electric vehicle market. However, when compared to its competitors, such as the 2024 Tesla Model S Dual-Motor AWD, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack falls short in terms of range. The Tesla Model S boasts an impressive range of 402 miles on a single charge, thanks to its 95.0 kWh battery pack. While the Charger Daytona Scat Pack may not match the Tesla Model S in range, it compensates with iconic muscle car styling.

All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) – 

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack sets a new standard for performance with its advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Unlike traditional muscle cars, which typically feature rear-wheel drive, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack utilizes dual EDMs – one at the front and one at the rear – to deliver power to all four wheels. This AWD configuration ensures exceptional traction and stability, allowing drivers to harness the Charger Daytona’s formidable power with confidence in a variety of road conditions.

Drive Modes – 

To cater to the diverse driving preferences of enthusiasts, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack offers a range of drive modes, each finely tuned to deliver a distinct driving experience:

Donut Mode: Exclusive to the Scat Pack models, this mode enables the vehicle to spin only the rear wheels, allowing drivers to execute thrilling donuts and controlled drifts with ease. By disengaging traction control intervention on the rear wheels, Donut Mode lets drivers unleash their inner drift king or queen.

Drift Mode: Another exclusive feature for the Scat Pack, Drift Mode is for those who crave the exhilarating feeling of sliding through corners with precision and control. With three selectable levels of slip angle, torque is biased towards the rear axle, facilitating controlled oversteer. The suspension settings are optimized to encourage oversteer, ensuring a thrilling driving experience on the track or empty roads.

Drag Mode: When it’s time to unleash maximum straight-line acceleration, Drag Mode, also exclusive to the Scat Pack models, has you covered. By locking the front wheels and redirecting torque to the rear tires, Line Lock prepares the Charger Daytona Scat Pack for optimal launches, allowing drivers to achieve blistering quarter-mile times with Launch Control engaged.

Track Mode: Exclusive to the Scat Pack models, whether tackling a winding racetrack or a challenging mountain pass, Track Mode is designed to deliver maximum performance and agility. The adaptive damping suspension adjusts to provide optimal handling and stability, while the drivetrain and traction control systems are calibrated for spirited driving. Additionally, the race-prep system optimizes battery temperature for prolonged track sessions, ensuring consistent performance lap after lap.

With these versatile drive modes at their disposal, drivers can tailor the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s performance to suit their preferences and driving conditions, whether they’re seeking adrenaline-pumping acceleration, precise cornering, or all-weather confidence on the road.

This comprehensive package introduces a suite of high-performance features designed to enhance the Charger Daytona’s capabilities on both the track and the open road.

Track Pack Features:

This advanced suspension system incorporates dual valves—one for compression and one for rebound—offering three times the number of body accelerometers, four times the wheel-hub accelerometers, and four times the ride height sensors compared to the outgoing Charger model. This level of precision allows for a more dynamic range of damping force, ensuring a smoother ride on rough roads, improved handling during aggressive driving, and a broader range of personalization in each drive mode.
