The new $60,000 electric Dodge Charger will have fake V8 engine sounds and software to help you do donuts

• The all-new 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is the brand's first electric muscle car.
• The Charger Daytona will reach dealerships later this year with a starting price of $59,595.
• It will have some cool features, including Fratzonic artificial V8 exhaust noise and a doughnut mode.

Dodge revealed new details and pricing for its highly anticipated 2024 Charger electric muscle car.

The Stellantis subsidiary announced that the Charger Daytona EV will be available in showrooms by the end of 2023 with two variations: the Daytona R/T and the Daytona Scat Pack.

"The future of the Dodge brand launches with a two-model 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona two-door lineup that looks, drives, sounds and feels like a Dodge, outperforming the legendary models they replace and delivering the experience the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle expects," Dodge brand CEO, Matt McAlear, said in a press release.

The base R/T will have 420 horsepower on tap for a starting price of $59,595, while the Scat Pack will arrive from the factory with 670 electric ponies and a more expensive $73,190.

All EV variants of the Charger will feature a 100.5 kWh battery pack, standard all-wheel drive, and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

The Daytona R/T is expected to go 317 miles on a single charge, while the Scat Pack should have 260 miles of all-electric range. Dodge says, noting each should be able to charge from 20% to 80% in under 30 minutes using a fast charger.

Also found on all Charger variants is Dodge's new Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system. In other words: fake engine noises.

While artificial engine sounds ported through a speaker system are quite common these days, Fratzonic takes things to a whole new level.

The software uses a series of vibration chambers and 600-watt amplifier to mimic the rumble of a traditional V8. The faux-V8 tones change according to throttle input and drive mode, Dodge says.

Some goodies are reserved for the expensive Scat Pack, including red Brembo six-piston front/four-piston rear brakes and dual-value adaptive damping suspension.

The Scat Pack also gets access to some special software features that help the Charger perform on the race track and drag strips.

These include a Donut Mode, which spins only the rear wheels to facilitate going around in a circle. There's also Drift Mode, which directs power accordingly to help the driver power through corners sideways, and Line Lock, which locks the front wheels to allow the driver to heat up the rear tires with a smoky burnout.

Four-door and internal-combustion variants of the new Charger will follow in 2025.

Dodge is expected to begin producing an electric four-door version in the first half of 2025.

In addition, Dodge will commence production of internal combustion variants of the Charger, called the Dodge Charger SIXPACK, in the second half of next year.

The Charger SIXPACK will have the Stellantis 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged, Hurricane straight six-cylinder engine under the hood. That engine will be shared with the Charger's corporate siblings, like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer SUV.

The most powerful Charger variant with the engine is expected to have 550 horsepower.

All models of the Charger will be made at Stellantis's Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada.
