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

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

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

The Stellantis subsidiary announced that the Charger Daytona EV would be available in showrooms by the end of 2024 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," Matt McAlear, the Dodge brand CEO, said in a press release.

The carmaker says the base R/T will have nearly 500 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 $73,190 price tag.

All EV variants of the Charger are set to feature a 100.5-kilowatt-hour 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 each should be able to charge to 80% from 20% 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 it to a new level.

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

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 designed to help the Charger perform on the racetrack and on 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.

4-door and internal-combustion variants of the new Charger are set to follow in 2025

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

In addition, Dodge said it would commence production of internal-combustion-engine variants of the Charger, called the Dodge Charger Sixpack, in the second half of next year.

It said the Charger Sixpack would 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' Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada.
