I just read this on Fox News. Dodge is taking the gloves off in an assault on Tesla's claim of having the world's quickest product car. Interesting read.

Dodge working on secret Tesla-killing electric muscle car, sources say

New Challenger could swap the V8 for electric motors

By Gary Gastelu | Fox News

Dodge wants the title back.

The muscle car brand is reportedly working on an electric sports car that could help it reclaim the World's Quickest Production Car crown from the new Tesla Model S Plaid.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon previously held the quarter-mile record at 9.65 seconds, but Tesla claims the Model S Plaid can do it in 9.23 seconds.

The 840 hp Demon was very much not an electric car. In fact, it set the times when equipped with a special ECU that allowed it to run on high-octane racing gasoline.

The tri-motor Tesla Model S Plaid is rated at 1,020 hp. (Tesla)

But now unnamed sources at Dodge have told The Detroit Bureau that it is working on an electric car that will be the fastest its ever made.

Details on the vehicle weren't revealed, but the report echoes comments made to Fox News Autos by Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis, who said "electrification is inevitable in this space. It will help internal combustion engines perform significantly better and in some cases electrification all by itself."

Dodge hasn't announced a firm date for the arrival of the next generation Challenger or Charger sedan, but one or both are expected to be launched for the 2023 model year.

That's around the same time Maserati, Dodge's sister company through parent Stellantis, will debut its first electric Granturismo model and its possible that it will share some of its tech

Well that's gay af.

Values of hellcats and demons about to skyrocket as they'll be the last of Americana.

Good luck with the EV shit when there's no power to charge em. Ask Ercot how that's going right now in TX. CA cant keep the lights on, TX telling you to sweat in your homes and turn up the tstat. But nah, lets trickle charge 50m cars a day with no increase or additional power plants in the works.

Its the future...... and the very near future. The TQ they make is just absurd. No gas car is ever gonna be able to compete with electric in the near future. The Electric battery technology is growing faster then Biden's Dementia!

Gas doesn't have any new technology to offer. Combustion engines will soon die like Kodac did! Im betting it will surely be in my lifetime too.

Born and raised Brockton. Living in Naples.
I wouldn’t car if dodge made a electric car that went 0 to 60 in 1 second. Ran the quarter in 8 seconds. Had the best looks and interior ever made and went 2000 miles on a 5 minute charge and cost $1700.
I’d. Nevah. Buy. It.

Id buy the petro hellcat for $90k and be slower.
Get bent.
