Für Petrolheads und E-Fahrer: Dodge bringt den Charger nach Europa
In den USA verehren sie in seit 60 Jahren als Muscle-Car. Nun soll der Dodge Charger auch europäische Sportfahrer ansprechen. Dabei haben die Amerikaner aber nicht nur die Benzinfraktion im Visier.
Dodge has announced the arrival of the Charger in Europe to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the car model. Stellantis, the parent company, will offer the fifth-generation American muscle car at dealerships with four main variants, priced at 66,000 euros and above. The Charger will come in both gasoline and electric versions, setting it apart from its competitors, the Ford Mustang.
The gasoline-powered Charger features a 3-liter, six-cylinder engine with two turbochargers, producing either 308 kW/420 PS or 404 kW/550 PS depending on the trim level. In either case, the Charger can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 285 km/h. For the electric Charger, known as the Daytona, there are two electric motors that generate either 370 kW/469 PS or 470 kW/630 PS.
These models are expected to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, but will have a lower maximum speed of 220 km/h.
The electric Charger's battery, with a capacity of 100.5 kWh, provides a range of up to 510 kilometers under ideal conditions. Charging can be done through alternating current, taking 27 minutes to reach 80% charge, or direct current at a rate of 20 to 80% in 27 minutes. Dodge emphasizes the driving experience of the Charger, promising thrills with features like burn-outs and claiming the electric Daytona to be "the loudest electric car in the world" thanks to a new sound generator.
