One of the keys that makes the Challenger (and the Daytona concept) look so timeless, is that you can't see the head or taillamps in side profile. Evey other vehicle in production today has huge insect like illumination that dominates the design.

[@carlosandleon]

i wouldn’t say huge. Headlights have gone progressively smaller

[@linkin6992]

the fact that they based this car off the retro chargers is a dream come true, but if they’re all electric it will be nightmare 💀

[@tortminator3675]

For the wheelbase keep this in mind - you’re comparing a challenger to a charger concept. The challenger has always been known to be smaller than the charger. In the 60s and 70s the charger was on a B body Mopar platform. While the challenger was on the A body Mopar platform. The new charger from 2006 to 2023 is on a old Mercedes platform. The challenger from 2008 to 2023 is just a shortened version of that. So the difference in wheelbase may not be just because of an EV design but design intent to keep the charger a longer car as it has always been.

[@dougcox2537]

The Challenger was an "E" body not an A body

[@00duce84]

The design is meant to be a true 4 seater coupe. Also, the original Charger was a large coupe and the challenger was a smaller mid size coupe. They are taking the charger back to its original roots in that regard. They also have a 4 door V on this platform that'll follow.

[@GH05TR1DR]

The c pillar on the original Charger sits directly on top of the rear wheels, not behind it, and the side window corner ebds where the wheel arch begins. They could have kept those proportions and still have a comfortable back seat. A solution could be to move the front wheels and front end forward and make the trunk longer.

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

The Challenger is midsize? Its a full size coupe, it has larger dimensions than a C217 Mercedes S class coupe which is a full size coupe. The challenger's problem is the terrible use of interior space, which makes it feel like a midsize vehicle

[@PALongknife]

@@tehgzizlauw1787 He was referring to the original Charger and Challenger of the 1960's & 1970's-- the Charger was the large 2-door fastback, contemporary with the Chevrolet Chevelle, Pontiac GTO, Ford Gran Torino, and Plymouth Roadrunner; whereas the Challenger was the smaller 2-door fastback (aka "Pony Car"), contemporary with the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Ford Mustang, AMC Javelin, and Plymouth Barracuda.

The V8’s are ending production, i6 IS the ICE engine going forward for these cars. Stellantis has said as much- there’s no V8 conspiracy- no secret V8 coming- not anytime soon. Dodge is a niche automaker now that doesn’t make the money over at Stellantis- STLA isn’t investing billions for a new V8 family for 150,000 total sales per year. Dodge was a different company back in 2001 when the gen III semi-HEMI’s were developed for the trucksx.. Dodge was a full line automaker back then, selling 5,6x of what the company sells today.

[@crazypkm]

They also said they wouldn’t make more Durango hellcats. They also are set to make even MORE demon 170s after the last call…. Dodge goes for the money, they’re too comfortable to lose their v8 fanatics

[@redhunnid5142]

2:16 It’s literally a gas tank on the right side how did you not see that you were talking about internal combustion and I’m like how do you not see that gas tank??? Also I have to correct this Daytona EV design is not based off a Challenger it’s a retro design of a 1967 Dodge Charger

[@douglasmacarthur3629]

The C pillar of the concept reminds me of the '66 to '67 Charger rear end bodystyle (with the thick C pillar that reaches behind the rear axle), versus the current production Challenger, which has the same (albeit modernized) bodystyle of the '69 Challenger and up (not all the way up, obviously) Years might be off, but I know for a fact that the C pillar of the concept reminds me of the '67 Charger. Let me know what you think

[@noiisserpmii]

Yeah i wish they leaned more into first gen (66-67) because i own a 67 & its such a underrated design

[@generic9777]

I think it looks even more like the 2nd gen 1970 Charger, with the shoulder line sloping down towards the front of the door and stopping (in 1970 it had the fake vent things, and in the current gen sedan, it's a larger indent). However, what looks worse on the new Charger SRT Daytona is that the roof line is a curved slope that comes down in a weirdly smooth arch, whereas the older ones have a straight line coming down to the trunk, and also a longer rear.

[@jundesways3940]

Yes. Exactly. Roof line is perfect on the -70 charger. Hopefully they make same c pilar and roof line to production version. Straight line, not curved

[@KayKashi]

[@mrsoisauce9017]

4:16 I see another problem: how in the hell are you going to get enough air into the engine bay? That grille at the bottom isn’t going to cut it alone, especially for the massive V8s that power ICEs, or even just an I6 would need far more air than that tiny little grille can supply. You would need to redesign the entire front end and completely ditch the R-wing at the front so u can convert all of that space into another grille to lead more air into the engine, which isn’t the most elegant solution in terms of engineering because that means more panels would have to be made just to accommodate the ICE. Also, we’ve been hearing that the Charger EV will get a 2 speed gearbox similarly to the Porsche Taycan. Maybe that’s what we’re seeing

[@theballintruth3369]

[@RSJerelle_]

Tbh now that I think about it… dodge said it was only the death of the Hemi V8,,, they never said all v8s as a whole so it could very well be a new v8 in the works

[@ismazonda2619]

Rear 3/4 looks like Aston Martin Lagonda Tarif

[@Darkemace]

I get what you're saying about the C pillar, but the concept takes its design cues more from the 1966-1967 fastback Charger that the 1968-1970 Charger

[@michaelbuteau4183]

If you look at the new body they actually shorten the Rear window and added a center Pillar Which probably means they shorten the car A little I think that might be a different car all Together from the concept I think the concept was actually supposed to be a 4 door Because the concept has a really, really, really long door.

[@hannthenan]

You're onto something 🤔

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

lol no on that last part, ever seen a 66 Charger? It's like a modern version of that.....doors were very long in the 60s and 70s. I had a 72 Pontiac Grand Prix.... humongous doors.

[@vick6562]

I did notice the RR wraith sized door

[@eyespy8088]

I was amazed on how long the doors and rear greenhouse were when I first saw it. It could easily be a 4-door with very little modifications (just shorten the front doors a bit). I can see why the Charger and Challenger nomenclature could easily be swapped around between the coupe and sedan styles, though I find myself confusing the names often even before this concept was released. The rear greenhouse reminds me of a smoother Audi A5 which is also a design I really love and has aged well over its many years.

[@benoitallard5516]

Given the latest spy videos of the RAM TRX being powered by the new I6, I would be doubtful the new Charger Daytona would be powered by a new V8.

[@kyledavid]

While I like what you did with the greenhouse, and certainly feel it looks a bit odd, I'm almost certain it was designed that way, as well as the lengthened wheelbase, to at least accommodate rear passengers better. At best, I'm almost certain there'll be a 4dr variant of this same model. I'd actually like to see your interpretation of that with Photoshop. I'd also suggest the '99 Charger concept as a reference too (arguably, the inspiration for Mercedes first 4dr coupe, after they "merged" with Chrysler). That said, I believe the Charger concept looks and is named that way to be the successor to not only the current sedan, but the original, which was only a (large) coupe, in the 60s. It was "weird" to many when it debuted with 2 extra doors in '05. But this all brings me back to this model probably serving as the replacement for both the sedan (with an eventual 4dr option) and the Challenger coupe. It'd be nice to have two different wheelbases, as the Challenger is already larger than the Mustang, but oh well. I'm personally looking forward to this, now that my toddlers can climb out of their car seats, lol.

[@RipRoaringGarage]

I have heard of a rumor that Chrysler was thinking of a 4dr Charger in 1969-70, based on the 4dr Mustang prototype that was built and tested by Ford. That never happened, only resulting in the 69 Thunderbird 4dr if memory serves. Those are now very rare. But it was a luxury car, so a 4dr Charger never happened. But def, the greenhouse is way too big, and to me looks goofy. The production body is even more goofy with the angle of the B pillar going rear ward now. Its an odd duck, made to rush for the 24MY, plus the change in schedule, so 24s will be a limited run.

[@GH05TR1DR]

They could have made both the front end longer (like the original charger) and the trunk longer, problem solved. You get both a comfortable back seat and the original proportions.

[@garrettvdh-ym1pj]

One reason that the wheelbase is longer and it’s 2 door with the Charger name is because that’s how the original chargers were. They’re doing a different approach of modernizing the Charger design, not the Challenger.

[@lexusbruh904]

This is exactly what I was mentioning to friends when this new gen charger comes out, should have v8 variant, plus Finally a coupe as should have been from start

[@Cuhh346]

People forget the og charger was a b body 2 door and the challenger was the smaller e body, hence why the charger concept is longer

[@Bank_Da_Bread]

[@brickhead_07]

4:55 I think with changing up the hood a V8 would fit under there. You need the „grille“ anyway for cooling.

[@TheBlueCreeper-]

I think that if they have a V8 they're probably gonna change the front grille to be an actual grille instead of just a hole. Its not hard to do at all either so makes sense to me.

[@redrumcoke2363]

Couldn't agree more about the c-pillar. Pushing it up just that much, makes it look at ton better. I'd also prefer the bottom of the rear to be a touch higher, too. Or at least slope up quicker from the bit starting behind the wheel when the c-pillar is moved forward. Right now, that pillar is in no-man's-land. Pushing it back, to make a shooting, would also be sweet if integrated cohesively. Great vid as always bud.

The original Chargers were 2 doors. When they brought out the 4 door Chargers a lot of people were upset that they used the name of a 2 door car. Now we've gotten used to it, and it seems strange that the Charger is a 2 door again. Somebody posted a list of expected engine options. It was like full EV, I-6 twin turbo hybrid, i-6 twin turbo, i-4 turbo hybrid, and i-4. That's probably how it will be. The interesting thing will be which ones get AWD. And how much weight will the batteries put on the rear wheels. Of course everyone wants a V-8, including me, but these cars will still be fast. I bet the Tesla Plaid is in the crosshairs.

[@dariopiovani5077]

As far as I am aware, they were saying there could be a hybrid version with the Hurricane engine - a turbo l6 with electric assistance. If anything it could make a dent in the market of Ecoboost Mustangs and the sort. Peculiar decision but I am not really against it, although it would probably make it sound more like an import than a true muscle car lol

[@RipRoaringGarage]

What program do you use for the drawing on screen? Ive been trying to do something similar for some time, but nothing works out right. I have a very VERY old photoshop version (ver 7..not 7.0, but 7 from 1996 or so), but it doesnt work on Win10 which is needed for OBS and my editing stuff. (my regular pc is Win7, and XP) As far as the car, we did know that there would be the base and mid trims as gasoline cars, with the Hellcat replacement (Daytona Banshee) being EV. I saw those photos and theres no way the Hemi will fit. Plus, the plant making the Hemi is shutting down this year, and is pumping out enough engines for Direct Connection, warrantie claims and whatever the Durangos will use in 24. The trans tunnel is very small for the HP series (maybe the Tremec might fit?). I think its the new transmission mated to the Hurricane. That is what they announced. The car to me looks ...not so great, especially in person. But hey, some people will like it. But, the EV will destroy Dodge. There are HUGE problems already with the Hurricane ECUs, the infotainment system that will go in these cars are having a lot of problems, a lot of warranty work so that will transfer over to the LB.

[@jonascfjr]

The Daytona is based on the Charge from 1970. Thas why it has diferences from the Challenger. It's my favorite Charge together with the 69, present in a ton os NFS games. The Fast & Furious movies also uses a 70 model to Torettos car.

[@newdefsys]

The new charger design is definitely drawing on its 1966 origins, especially the fastback concept, and is why the C pillars sweep past the rear wheel centerline, just like the original. The new Charger should have a relatively shallow trunk with foldable rear seats allowing for pass-through space.

It would be extremely foolish for any manufacturer to almost completely switch to an all EV and hybrid lineup. Tesla doesn't count, as they started with all EV's. But Dodge has a history in internal combustion. I mean there are two separate generations of the Hemi, that are or were the gold standard for Top fuel Drag racing. Their Gen 3 hemi is by far the most popular of all the hemi types, east to get build and setup. I even look forward to the Hurricane I4 and I6 engines as future choices for rot rodders.

Peugeot sells ICE and EV variants on nearly all models. Stellantis knows how to build a flexible platform which GM should have done with Ultium. Stellantis needs flexibly for it's various brands (under the skin this suits Alfa and even Maserati). Charger is the bigger seller & I'd love to see a coupe design not altered expect for the addition of frameless windows and four doors. Buick would have been brilliant to do this with Avista.

5:21 No, it's not. The Charger was originally a two-door car, the four-door Charger is weird.

If they don't do the v8 i think they might start developing that hurricane I6 I've been hearing about.

[@AdrianGodoy3054]

Will the new 2024 challenger be stick shift or only automatic?

[@maxmeier532]

How about a 6 cylinder engine, NA or Turbo? Would be smaller and lighter (dont know by how much), hence better agility and higher mpg.

[@brandonsealey4511]

I understand your thinking but a muscle car isn't about 'agility and mpg', it's about sound, experience and emotion. I've had my charger for 12+ years...I still smile when I start up that V8 in the morning. The only 6 cylinder engines that incite emotion like that are the old 12v VR6 - or 3.2 liter VW/Audi motors, GTR's 3.8 liter engine sound great, Supra's inline 6 was more about induction noise but they are okay too. I am not a fan of the 'crackle tuned' Inline 6 Turbo BMW's right now. A V8 just sounds better - that baritone burble is just chef's kiss.

[@potatoradio]

Thought they were pushing the twin-turbo inline 6 hurricane engine, not a v8??? Cuz Greenpeace said they were bad for having V8s. (not lying)

I just came across your channel when I subscribe you're one of the few people that have been showing this because I've been saying it for a long time by this way I've seen the architecture of the car I knew to fit on a motor where everybody was saying it's just going to be internal combustion engine people just don't understand Automotive platform definitely has a transmission tunnel and more than likely it's going to be a performance version of the hurricane straight 6 what's the numbers I've heard as high as 595 horsepower now the evi versus highest 900 the original charger from 1966 to 1978 all charger work two doors my dad owned a 69 Daytona Coupe one of 503 made for the street another 196 built for NASCAR but the body that they're trying to make their is a 68 through 70 Camp Rock Crusher Channel seems like a good Channel but if you have any questions please let me know I will give you the answer have connections with everybody with almost every I have connections with almost every big Manufacturing especially at Shelby American

[@ghostsgamingea2383]

If anything the inline 6 twin turbo hurricane engine for it like the new raptor

[@user-tm6nq3ou1v]

The new body is good , now , put the 318 in it at a price that most can actually afford and you got a winner , oh yeah don't forget 340 tri power .6 speed manual . If I was not so freakin old I would go in drbt for 340 thing .

[@hawkeyes4768]

all they gotta do is sell the classic body style and print money

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

The V8 are gone !!! Now with that being said If I remember right the STLA Large is designed to have both ICE and EV along with all the STLA Medium and Small chassis. I don't see the Hemi making its return but why would Stellantis spend all the time and research on the 3.0l Turbo engines just for 1 model we already know it going to be used in the 2025 Ram 1500 and the Grand Cherokee as well. 420hp or 510hp is nothing to sneeze at as they move the Big Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer with some great authority !!!

[@huyra8019]

All they have to do is hybridize the 392 give it dummy long gear ratios and boom 30+mpg hybrid

[@1701Q]

It looks fkn dope, i love the design. if this would have a v8 option it could be a challenger challenger.

[@alexanderhuliakov6012]

Love the design
