A New Era of Speed: 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack Set To Debut At One Lap Of America

The all-new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack is set to make an electrifying entrance into motorsports with its debut at the 41st running of the Tire Rack One Lap of America. This high-stakes endurance race, held from May 3 to May 10, 2025, spans more than 3,500 miles and includes timed racing events at iconic tracks across eight states. As the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack will compete in the Alternative Fuel class—marking a milestone for Dodge’s transition to electric performance while maintaining its muscle car heritage.

Vehicle Overview

The 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack is a groundbreaking model that pairs cutting-edge electric technology with signature Dodge power. Its all-wheel-drive powertrain delivers an astounding 670 horsepower, putting it at the top of its class in performance. The vehicle is outfitted with a rear mechanical limited-slip differential for precise traction and cornering, adaptive suspension dampers, and a set of Brembo® brakes with 16-inch vented rotors and multi-piston calipers for race-grade stopping power.

Adding to its capabilities is the Track Package, which includes a range of advanced features tailored for motorsports, such as Track, Drag, and Custom Drive Modes; Launch Control; Race Prep settings for thermal battery management; and a Drift/Donut Mode for dynamic handling experiences. Despite being a high-performance EV, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack maintains everyday usability with a hidden hatchback design offering class-leading cargo space—essential for carrying gear throughout the week-long rally.

Race Participation

Behind the wheel of the Charger Daytona will be David Carr, a Dodge vehicle dynamics engineer and experienced racer with multiple One Lap entries under his belt. He’ll be joined by Dodge Garage contributor and driver Sean Yoder. Together, they’ll pilot the largely stock electric muscle car through a demanding itinerary of road and track segments designed to test endurance, handling, and performance.

Performance Tech in Action

The Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s Track Package gives drivers a full suite of performance tuning tools. Track Mode maximizes grip and cornering stability on smooth asphalt, while Drag Mode is fine-tuned for explosive straight-line acceleration. Custom Mode allows drivers to fine-tune parameters like steering weight, throttle response, and regenerative braking.

Launch Control features five different intensity levels, and Race Prep settings pre-condition the battery for optimal performance depending on the race type. Drift/Donut Mode allows for power-sliding maneuvers by sending more torque to the rear wheels, with traction control adjustability built in. Meanwhile, the onboard Drive eXperience Recorder (DxR) captures footage and data from each lap, offering both technical insights and engaging content for fans following the action online.

Significance

Dodge CEO Matt McAlear described the One Lap of America as “a formidable endurance test” and expressed confidence that the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is “uniquely equipped to meet it head-on.” This debut isn’t just about competition—it’s a statement. By entering a demanding endurance race with an all-electric muscle car, Dodge is proving that electrification and traditional American performance can coexist.

The 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack sets a bold precedent for the future of muscle cars. With its high-output electric drivetrain, advanced racing tech, and unmistakable Dodge attitude, it’s not only making history on the track—it’s redefining what a muscle car can be.
