Four-month-ahead specs for two Dodge Charger Daytona First Editions have been made public. Thanks to YouTuber Butter da Insider, we now have what looks like MSRPs for those First Editions. The information came from a picture of a Stellantis computer screen that was shared with Mopar Insiders. The store guides say that the First Editions will only come in three exterior colors: white knuckle, triple nickel, and diamond black. With the eStage 1 Upgrade, the base R/T First Edition model gets 40 more horsepower in PowerShot mode and up to 496 more horsepower and 404 more pound-feet of torque at its peak. The Demonic Red Seats, which have perforated inserts and red and silver stitching, will come with the base setup. As standard, the Plus Group comes with ambient lighting, heated and ventilated leather front seats, LED headlights with a full-width LED light strip, and heated back seats. The fully equipped First Edition model gets rid of the red interior and adds the Sun & Sound Group, which has an 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine sound system and a tinted glass roof that stays in place. The Blacktop Appearance Package comes with dark 20-inch aluminum wheels with 255/45 all-season tires and black R/T logos. The car is parked outside on 20-inch metal wheels. The estimated cost before getting to the location is $68,570. The starting price for the only R/T engine on the configurator right now, a 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine that makes 303 horsepower, is $41,640 before location. When you add the Alpine Audio Group, Blacktop Appearance Package, Cold Weather Group, Plus Package, Power Sunroof, and eight-speed automatic transmission, the price goes up to $49,420. This makes the car more like an electric muscle car in terms of horsepower and speaker count. With the eStage 2 Upgrade, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack First Edition is a powerhouse capable of hitting 670 horsepower for short bursts. Its peak output is boosted by 80 horsepower. It boasts dark 20-inch aluminum wheels, dark beetle badges on the fenders, suede lining on the instrument panel bolsters, suede up the A-pillar to the suede headliner, and a carbon fiber center console. It also comes with the Track Pack, which features six-piston Brembo front brakes, staggered Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3 tires, leather and suede performance seats, and a driver experience recorder. This high-performance model is set to begin at $82,170 before location. The 2023 Challenger R/T Scat Pack costs $64,805 and comes with a Power Sunroof, a better Alpine radio, the Dynamics Package, the Plus Package, the T/A Package, and the Carbon/Suede Interior Package. In each case, the price difference between gas-powered cars and electric cars is approximately $18,000. It’s important to note that the trims with electric motors are initially the most expensive. However, there’s good news for those who are budget-conscious. Early next year, more affordable trims will be released, followed by even more affordable models with an inline six-cylinder engine. This future release plan gives hope to those who are eagerly awaiting the next wave of Dodge vehicles.
