The Dodge Charger Daytona was always going to be controversial as it’s the first electric muscle car. It’s also the first full reinvention of the Challenger in nearly two decades, marking a significant shift.
Dodge’s ‘Brotherhood of Muscle’ has been grumbling ever since. However, cars are starting to land at dealerships and into customer hands.

Corey Jones appears to be one of the first as he recently brought his car to Sammy’s Tire in Illinois to have it equipped with 26-inch Forgiato wheels. There’s no word on which ones, but the company offers two different wheels designed specifically for EVs. They’re aerodynamically optimized and offered in 20- and 22-inch configurations.
However, those are tiny compared to the ones fitted on Jones’ Charger Daytona. They certainly standout, although the clearances look a little tight.
We’ll likely see plenty of modified Chargers in the coming months but, in the meantime, we’ll remind you the R/T starts at $59,595. It features a 100.5 kWh battery pack as well as a dual motor all-wheel drive system with 456 hp (340 kW / 462 PS) and 404 lb-ft (547 Nm) of torque. This enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.7 seconds and travel 317 miles (510 km) on a single charge.
If money is no object, you can get a Charger Daytona Scat Pack for $73,190. It has an upgraded dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing 630 hp (470 kW / 637 PS) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque. This lowers the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time to 3.3 seconds, but the range plummets to 260 miles (418 km).
