880-Horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona EV’s Numbers Leaked: Stellantis Racing in the Wrong Direction

A Dodge insider revealed on November 1st, 2023, that the top-tier Charger Daytona EV

will have 880 horsepower. It didn't surprise me. I predicted in February 2023

[{"selector":"#anim-88af2ab9-daec-42a8-a242-fd7999ec6e05 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3cc4efd5-f51a-4c16-a465-7646e52247a9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.79866%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d742850d-fb49-4bad-9ae7-f9e060fc9d4f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9cee301f-e60f-4dcd-bdbf-2873135aee72","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

that the electric Dodge Charger SRT will produce exactly 880 horsepower.

[{"selector":"#anim-aaf8f692-c9f6-45ca-8973-32e423403c6d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae94dd53-e44e-4b09-832c-f533a71af3bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7f91582-30aa-43d3-b618-08a31eb1e45d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26deab10-20ea-4bde-8cee-13ac10ac8d27","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, I'm concerned about some other leaked data: Dodge could possibly charge

[{"selector":"#anim-e5ffc12b-f20f-4f84-a10b-f26a581b546f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f00ed79-c5f2-450f-85da-3276e47522e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-292c98fd-2552-4d46-840f-44a0f69eb4df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59095f77-7e9b-4e1c-931a-b97c156e55e0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

a fee to unleash all that power, and the only Charger SRT Banshee trim level to receive an 800

[{"selector":"#anim-8a1e728f-dc04-40d8-9414-7da1f0f351d7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.694030650638837%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72fba280-3a35-4c7f-bc52-d61a53740059","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f7aa983c-5fac-4171-be1b-0ddc20406f1e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b27293d-c507-4790-a334-de2ad0e24b2b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

but it's still racing against the wind. The 2024 powertrains that we are aware of are as follows:
