Dodge and Stellantis have revealed the four-door Dodge Charger Daytona muscle car, and everyone had their eyes on one thing.

Images shared on Instagram gave us a good look at the car, which stood out thanks to its epic shade of blue.

The new Charger Daytona four-door is a direct replacement of the previous-gen Charger, with the two-door model a replacement for the Challenger.

There’s no V8 power under the hood, although Dodge is offering a different combustion engine for those who don’t want the electric version.

The Dodge Charger Daytona was presented in a special shade of blue

What caught the eye was the shade of blue the Dodge muscle car was presented in.

The Charger Daytona was in a striking shade called Bludicrous, which looked spectacular on the four-door body.

The proportions of the new version looked great, perhaps better than what we’ve seen on the two-door Charger.

Dodge brought a pre-production model to the 2025 Spring Festival in Southern California, and this was the EV version.

The Charger looks very imposing at the front, and the LED light bar is an interesting feature.

At the festival, Dodge brought along the black and red two-door version that it showcased around a week ago.

Weirdly, the stripes won’t be available for the car via the Dodge online configurator.

While this version looks excellent, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the new muscle car’s launch.

Hardcore enthusiasts don’t want an electric muscle car

Dodge has faced a tough time from hardcore American enthusiasts, thanks to the Charger Daytona’s powertrain.

The electric muscle car has replaced the screaming V8 internal combustion engine versions of the past.

Even the ICE version has no eight-cylinder engine, instead using a twin-turbocharged inline-six.

However, Stellantis has ensured that both versions of the car still produce lots of power.

The V6 has two power outputs, with Charger Sixpack SO – standard output – producing 420HP.

The HO – high output – version sees that increase up to 550HP.

The electric version has impressive power figures too, making 496HP in R/T trim.

But for those who want more power, the Scat Pack version makes an incredible 670HP.

Even if you’re not into electric muscle cars, you can’t deny how powerful the Charger Daytona is.
