The Charger was last seen in the 2013 model year before its appearance as 2017 MY four years later.
Beginning with a price tag of $41,235, the Charger Daytona has been applied with front and rear body kits reminiscing that of SRT and R/T Scar Pack siblings. The much-anticipated model has its own unique styling with the inclusion of matte black design in roofline, rear wing, Hemi decals on the hood scoop bulge mounted in the middle and Daytona graphics in the rear quarter panel.
