In case it wasn’t obvious after several years of proof from various automakers, electric cars are seriously quick. All-wheel-drive EVs with gobs of power are understandably even faster. What might surprise some die-hard petrolheads, though, is that Dodge’s new Charger Daytona is quicker than a Challenger Hellcat Redeye.

The new Charger Daytona isn’t getting rave reviews. Whether that’s because of its electric motors, its lack of a V8 option, the inability to do a burnout, pricing, or something else, its welcome was lukewarm at best – and it’s likely why some dealers are offering massive discounts and Dodge itself is leasing it out at low rates.

What is not up for debate is how fast it is. According to Car And Driver, the Daytona Scat Pack with its 670 horsepower (499 kW) and all-wheel drive system managed to rocket from 0-60 mph (0- 96 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds. When the magazine tested the 797 hp (594 kW) Challenger Hellcat Redeye, which was rear-wheel drive, its best time was 3.8 seconds.

On the flip side, the Charger Daytona wasn’t as agile as a similarly rapid BMW i4 M50. Whereas the German electric sedan had a nicely tuned chassis and suspension, the Charger plowed through corners with “excessive understeer.”

It did manage to out-brake the BMW and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N though. On the skid pad, it matched the Hyundai and was 0.01 off the mark set by the BMW. That mix of skills might not be exactly what everyone wants, but it does make the Charger Daytona appealing to those whose main priority is straight-line acceleration.

In the end, buying a new Dodge Charger Daytona is a quick way to smoke every stock Challenger (and probably Charger) Hellcat you come across, alongside some much more expensive machinery. Having four fat tire patches all gripping and ripping, as well as instantly available torque, is just too much for the old ICE-powered Hell Kitty to handle.
