Dodge is gearing up for this weekend’s Woodward
Dream Cruise by unveiling the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th
Anniversary Edition. Designed to pay tribute to the 1969 Charger Daytona, the limited
edition model features a unique a decal and a matching rear spoiler. The car
has also been equipped with 20-inch “Warp Speed” wheels that have a special
Satin Carbon finish. The latter are backed up by a high-performance Brembo braking
system that features six-piston calipers up front.
The Charger will be available in four different
colors including B5 Blue which will be exclusive to the Daytona 50th
Anniversary Edition for 2020. Customers can also opt for Pitch Black, Triple
Nickel or White Knuckle.
The unique styling continues in the cabin as drivers
will Nappa leather and Alcantara sport seats with “Daytona” embroidery. The car
has also been equipped with a suede-wrapped steering wheel, blue contrast
stitching and real carbon fiber trim. Other highlights include a Dynamica Suede
headliner, special floor mats and an individually numbered badge.
Since the original Charger Daytona was designed for
racing, Dodge decided to give the special edition a power boost. As a result,
it’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 717 hp and 881 Nm of torque. This means the Daytona has 10 hp more
than the Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody and is the “most powerful Charger ever.”
Dodge didn’t release detailed performance specs, but
the standard model can run from 0-96 km/h in 3.6 seconds and hit a
top speed of 315 km/h. Given the extra grunt, the limited edition
could be even quicker.
Production will be limited to 501 units, which is
how many Charger Daytona models were produced in 1969. There’s no word on
pricing, but the company will begin accepting orders this fall.
