@@DJThunder-ky9mgI’m not too sure about that because there’s going to be an engine variant which is a twin turbo 3.0L Inline6 hurricane engine with two different performance options depending if you get the four or two door. If you get the four door charger you get the standard output engine which delivers 420 horsepower and 469 lb.-ft. of torque. But if you get the 2 door charger with the high output engine that will deliver 550 horsepower and 521 lb.-ft. of torque.

[@shemaijenkins9547]

Imagine if the inline 6 was in the Neon SRT if it was able to manage the AWD. Then I’d actually have a legit understanding of why Dodge decided to go that route as far as twin-turbo inline 6s for ICEs. The problem with this is - as badass as it LOOKS - that’s as far it goes. Batteries could catch on fire, malfunction, or explode, hopefully it’s under warranty. And it’s simply a “ghost of a feeling of a V8.” Burnouts? Sure. But that’s about it. But I couldn’t imagine someone actually paying thousands of dollars just to drive this, only for it to be nothing but a memory you will never get back. I, as a car guy myself, just honestly think Dodge did a textbook example of “putting the cart before the horse.” Not truly caring for their brand that’s on their way out. Because if Chevy and Ford could risk it, even if their brand gave out as well, Dodge could’ve risked it too.

The Charger Daytona SRT Banshee here is the concept version, which does not pass regulations (lights, mirrors, ride height, no frame windows etc). I would have loved the concept to go into production 100% just as it is, it stands lower, has smaller windows, sleeker mirrors, the rear bumper is flat and lights are darkened out. The production version of the Banshee will miss on all these things just as the R/T and ScatPack did due to regulations. Maybe the wheels and the large front splitter will remain, and maybe sit lower like the concept.

They could have branded it as an eHemi, while at the same time offering a combustion hemi … the EV could have been sold in limited quantities like a special edition while the turbo 6 and hemi V8 where the main powertrains … definitely wouldn’t have made it 4 doors either, better to bring back the Avenger as a performance sedan
