2024+ Dodge Charger Daytona "Banshee" - eMuscle and the Future

[Anguish]

Drivin a Bolt...is like kissin yer sister on the lips...the fewer people know that you do it,,,the better..

Sure. So make it look like a muscle car and add five or six hundred horsepower. Huh. Banshee.

Zero interest in that fugly car...the age of fun cars is over for now

It's just math. I've got a friend with a Bolt (which yes, has had its problems) who bought that car based on gas being as high as $1.20/L. He's been laughing his butt off as prices have been steadily around $1.80/L for the last half a year. Again, even if prices magically went back to what they were four years ago, he's already made out like a bandit. You don't need to wait a half-decade. He's already done it.

That said, the guy's driving a Bolt while I'm in a Hellcat, so there's a pretty big fun-factor that he doesn't get. Which is why this car is kind of intriguing. Best of both worlds.

I can do some math.

That's why I know that an EV would not work for us. At all. Unless we had two of them, one being parked near the destination.

More importantly, I also know that I'd most likely kill myself if stuck with an EV. Not saying that would be a bad thing (poll, anybody?).

But money isn't everything. Quality of life is worth a lot to me. Even if I could save $5,000 per year by going electric, I wouldn't.

Ripping off the square C8 steering wheel?

Fratztastic! lol

No charger had a flat bottomed wheel already, and that one is not as square as a plaid, say

On range, I do have to say regardless of price I do like getting in the Expedition EL after filling up and seeing the range Guage showing 625 miles

You can put lipstick on a pig and…

Once upon a time you could buy a bad ass Dodge called a Demon. The Demon came with a Hellcrate filled with go fast goodies. In an effort to drum up sales of the hideous new Banshee, Dodge has introduced the E-crate. Sneak peak of what's inside below.

I hear that's common practice in some southern states...

 

[Slowpoke387]

Sucks to be you, but I'm okay. Nine hundred horsepower, stock? Looking like that? Plus stuff like a HUD, panoramic roof, and hatchback? 460km range... for me that means I'd need to plug it oh... twice a month. And it'll cost about $6 CDN to charge, instead of $100.

I'm not against the EV part and even with all of your points - it's just so damn ugly. That is the number one road block for me. It could have 2000 hp and be free to charge. It's just too ugly.

As noted, I know what they're trying to do but I still think the Charger is better looking overall as an integrated design. One reason dodge had ported it into so many of their other offerings. I would need to see the new Charger in person (and be able to delete that silly silly stereo electro-phonic exhaust option) and see the real world performance before I can judge for certain. I will say this - so many cars today look like electric shavers... this one is no different.

Yeah, better than the current quattroporte, but that's not saying much.

All of these lectric cars are trying to look space age or something. They have no souls and look the part.

You ain’t seen ugly until you’ve see the front end of a Rivian pickup. Saw my first one in the flesh today. Even worse than the pics.

 

[Magnified]

Speedy, don't you wish you were on stage as the donut.maker to explain the electric exhaust?

Its like an ugly woman...sooner or later ya gotta take her out in the daylight....

You're killing me.

800v will be interesting too. Most are half that.
