    Power Nation TV has published an article stating that Dodge is working on its fastest muscle car to date- an electric one.

    Details at this stage are scarce, and CEO of Dodge, Tim Kuniskis, told Fox News Auto recently that “electrification is inevitable in this space. It will help internal combustion engines perform significantly better and in some cases electrification all by itself.”

    They should use electrification like nitrous. A Redeye with a 200 shot of electricity would be spectacular.

    It's official. Dodge announced today, that the new all electric muscle car will debut for 2024.

    Top Speed has speculated that it may have a quad-motor and may produce 1,000hp.

    The teaser car definitely has retro-inspired styling cues, with a fastback roofline and blunt fascia that look vaguely like a 1969 Charger. The front of the concept car sports a unique lighting profile, with what looks to be an LED light bar that mimics the square-jawed shape of the classic muscle car but with the addition of a lighted emblem directly in the center.

    Stellantis plans to spend $35.5B through 2025 to release an "array of new plug-in models". By way of comparison this is about what GM and Ford and BMW vowed to spend. VW has claimed it will spend $40B.

    Racer X claims that he got the scoop on Dodge's 2024 electric car line-up. Here are the models:


    STLA (small; city driving)

    107 hp

    300 mile range


    STLA (medium)

    300-400 hp

    440 mile range

    front wheel drive


    STLA (large- redesigned Challenger or 'Cuda speculated to replace Hellcat)

    886 hp

    1,600 lb/ft (estimated)

    dual electric motors

    500 mile range

    AWD

    0-60 mph= 1.X sec. (estimated)


    STLA (frame/truck)

    886 hp (estimated)

    dual electric motors

    AWD
