    With the recent introduction of the 800-volt Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept, there has been speculation about what the future of Dodge’s e-muscle lineup will look like. During his presentation of the Demon 170, Kuniskis hinted at the possibility of another e-muscle car, leading many to believe that a new Challenger may be in the works. This news is sure to excite fans who are eagerly anticipating the next generation of high-performance, electrified muscle cars from Dodge.

    “While everyone else is going to bring an electric car to market, Dodge is going to bring a muscle car and use electrification to make it not more political correct, but to make it faster and dodgier,” Kuniskis stated. “So efficiency be damned, we always wanted to do a ’68 Charger and this was our chance. We just needed to study the rules and find ways to do something cool that could comply and make happy without spiritually retreating from the things that we love. That Charger Daytona has what it takes to do exactly that. The new Charger Daytona will redine American muscle, and don’t worry you know us. We haven’t fully pulled back the curtain on this car… or maybe these cars just yet.”

    Here is an artist's rendering of a possible 2024 Challenger:

    Jay Leno reviews and drives the Demon 170.

    At the 19:00 minute mark, watch how Tim Kuniskis explains how the car's torque curve and 1-2 shift can be custom tuned using the head unit. Very cool.

    I will bet you that Jay adds this car to his extensive collection. He will have no problem getting one with his connection with Tim Kuniskis and his incredible wealth.
