In 2021, Dodge first announced its new eMuscle lineup with a fancy new logo, the Fratzog. At the time, only two models were definite – the Dodge Hornet and the Daytona SRT. Both electrified options, the Hornet would be a plug-in hybrid, whereas the Daytona SRT would be the first Dodge battery-electric vehicle (BEV). The Dodge Hornet debuted first in 2022 and was released for the 2023 model year, followed by the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT BEV debuted in March 2024. Every time one of these models arise, the mysterious “Banshee” is close behind. Thanks to Mopar Insiders, we might finally have more information on what this means for the Dodge eMuscle lineup.
The Dodge Hornet PHEV
The first of the bunch, the Dodge Hornet was actually first released as an all-gasoline option. Set up with two trims, the GT and GT Plus, the Dodge Hornet GT was powered by a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo engine, able to generate 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It wasn’t until later in the year that Dodge finally revealed the Dodge Hornet plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with two trims – the R/T and R/T Plus, powered by a 1.3-liter I4 Turbo PHEV engine, able to generate 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The automaker wasn’t ready to let go of their gasoline options, and that became obvious when the next generation of the Dodge Charger was released alongside the Daytona SRT BEV.
The Charger Daytona SRT BEV
First a concept in a 2022, we heard a lot about the Charger Daytona SRT BEV and what it could offer. Durign the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, we even learned about the many new configuration options the Charger Daytona SRT BEV would offer. At release, there are two models – the Scat Pack and the R/T. Powered by a dual electric drive module (EDM), the Scat Pack came with a 250 kW able to generate 335 horsepower.
However, this is where things get a little tricky. The specs are different now, but back then, there were other power options with Dodge Direct Connection eStage 1 and eStage 2. This will be important later. The concept originally proposed a 340 kW model and a 440 kW model. The 340 kW model has the potential to generate up to 455 horsepower, but eStage 1 could increase the power output to 370 kW (495 horsepower), and eStage 2 would bring it up to 400 kw (535 horsepower). The 440 kW electric motor, would able to generate 590 horsepower with eStage 1, and up to 470 kW (630 horsepower) with eStage 2. The mysterious banshee has a power output of 500 kW, or 670 horsepower.
The Banshee
It’s unclear if the Banshee will be its own third Fratzog model or if it will be another trim of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT BEV. According to Mopar Insiders, the Banshee will be a two-door model, which makes us think it will be a new model on its own, possibly the replacement for the Dodge Challenger (now discontinued). Additionally, the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT BEV comes with a dual EDM, but sources say the Banshee will come with a tri-motor system. The only other model in the Stellantis portfolio with three EDMS is the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, able to generate a combined output of 761 horsepower and 995 lb-ft of torque. Take Direct Connection eStage 1, and the Banshee could 1,072 horsepower, or even 1,336 horsepower with eStage 2. That is some serious power, and a true testament to the Dodge//SRT we know and love.
Right now, it’s a lot of speculation, but the closer we get to the release of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT BEV in 2025, the more we should know about the Banshee. Follow along with us on NowCar social media for more information.
