The crossover presented yesterday Hornet – This is the closest prospect of Dodge. Sales will begin this year, and in a day the company accepted more than 14 thousand orders for this model. And today Dodge has shown the project for the long term. This is the concept of Dodge Charger Daytona SRT-electric oil-car, the serial version of which will subsequently replace the current Dodge Challenger compartment.
The Stellantis concern has repeatedly stated that even with the transition to electric vehicles, they want to maintain the reputation of a manufacturer of powerful and defiant cars for the Dodge brand. And now the Americans promised that the new Charger would stand apart from the “boring electric vehicles”, to which the world has already managed to get used to. Like, this battery compartment “rides like Dodge, looks like Dodge and feels like Dodge.”
It really is not worth arguing with the statement of appearance. The new Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is stylized as a classic Charger 1968-1970: a characteristic design of the front line, “torn” on the door of a window sill, family rear lights … For an electric car, a triangular emblem called Fratzog, which was used on dodges from 1962 to 1976, is even revived. The concept has wheels with a diameter of 21 inches and a panoramic roof. But he also has a pair of non -obvious features.
Firstly, strictly speaking, this is not a compartment, but a three-door liftback: the trunk lid rises with the rear window. This butter-car has enviable practicality: folding the backs of the rear seats, here you can transport a large-sized cargo or long-meter. And secondly, the nose of the car is unusually solved. The upper rectangular air intake, along the contour of which is located a ribbon of running lights, does not lead at all into an engineering space. Getting into this slot, the air flow rises up to the hood: the developers called it the anterior anti-wing R-Wing.
There is no retroduce in the cabin at all. In front of the driver, a bent device with a diagonal of 16 inches is installed. The central display of the media system for 12.3 inches is turned 10 degrees to the driver, and in addition there is a projection screen. The buttons on the front panel, steering wheel and even on the doors are sensory, but the transmission control selector is saved analog. On the central tunnel under the lid is the launch button of the power plant.
Alas, there is very little information regarding electrical engineering. It was stated that Dodge Charger Daytona SRT has an 800-volt electric system called Banshee and all-wheel drive, but the number and power of the electric motors are not specified. A certain “multi -speed” ERUPT transmission with an electromechanical switching system is announced, which can imitate jerks of a traditional gearbox with intensive acceleration. There are riding modes Auto, Sport, Track and Drag, as well as PowerShot preset for a short -term increase in power, which is activated by the button on the steering wheel. Brakes – with six -piston mechanisms.
The developers promise that the electric Charger will be more dynamic than the current gasoline doji in the Hellcat version, which have a compressor V8 with a minimum of 727 hp. And the electric car will be no less loud! To simulate the sound of the exhaust, the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system is installed: an amplifier and speakers are installed in the stern, which can issue a sound with a volume of up to 126 dB. True, with a deliberately synthetic basis.
However, it is not at all necessary that the electric oil-car under the Dodge brand will be just that. Before the start of production, at least one and a half years (or even more), because the current gasoline Challanger will last on the conveyor until the end of 2023.
