The gas-powered Dodge Charger Daytona can’t come fast enough. The electric variant, launched last year, hasn’t<\/a> exactly been the success the brand hoped for. Dealers were so insistent on needing a Charger their customers wanted, that Dodge bumped up plans<\/a> to launch the straight-six-powered “Sixpack” to Summer 2025.<\/p>\n

Well, we’re in the thick of Summer right now, and it seems Dodge is right on schedule. The company was caught filming a commercial in downtown Detroit, with a behind-the-scenes video from an onlooker published to Reddit<\/em>\u00a0on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 19-second video shows a red, six-cylinder-powered Charger Daytona coupe pull up to a corner, before accelerating and drifting through an empty intersection. All the while, the car is being chased by a drone, presumably filming the entire sequence for an action shot to be featured in a future advertisement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The drifting is cool and all, but we’re more interested in the noise. This is the first time the public has heard any real-world audio from the Hurricane-powered Charger Daytona. While it’s certainly no Hemi V-8, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine doesn’t sound bad, either. If anything, it’s more exciting than the EV’s synthesized exhaust sound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dodge has yet to release full details on the Charger Sixpack, but there are a few key details we know. It’ll be available with either 420 or 550 horsepower, with a choice between two doors or four doors. Those in the snow belt will be pleased to learn all-wheel drive will be available as an option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Summer well underway, it shouldn’t be long until the Sixpack starts hitting dealers. Theoretically, it should be cheaper than the EV, which starts at $61,590. Most estimates expect a starting price in the low $40,000 range\u2014far more reasonable for this segment. It’ll be a much-needed boon to Dodge’s thin lineup, which consists only of the Charger, the Hornet, and the Durango.<\/p>\n
