The Dodge Charger nameplate has carried V8 muscle-car credentials for over five decades, so the arrival of the 2025 Charger Daytona as a fully electric two-door coupé marks a genuine break from convention. GT Spirit has chosen the Scat Pack — the enthusiast-grade trim with the Banshee dual-motor drivetrain — for this 1:18 resin model, presented in red and built to the exacting casting standards the brand applies to contemporary American performance cars.
The 2025 Charger Daytona: Two Doors, 800 Volts, No Exhaust Pipe
Dodge engineered the 2025 Charger Daytona on Stellantis's STLA Large platform, adopting an 800V electrical architecture that places it in the company of European high-performance EVs. The body is a two-door coupé — a continuation of the bold Charger silhouette. Despite abandoning internal combustion, Dodge fitted a fratzonic chambered exhaust system to generate a synthetic exhaust note, a detail that speaks to the brand's awareness of its own heritage.
Scat Pack and the Banshee EV System
Within the 2025 Charger Daytona range, the Scat Pack trim carries the dual-motor Banshee EV powertrain with a claimed 0–60 mph time of approximately 3.3 seconds. The Daytona name itself is a direct callback to the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, the NASCAR homologation special with its distinctive nose cone and rear wing — a lineage that gives the 2025 model added resonance for collectors who track the full arc of the nameplate. Red sits within the standard production colour palette for this model year.
GT Spirit's 1:18 Scale Model in Resin
GT Spirit produces closed resin 1:18 scale models, a format well suited to a modern coupé with flush surfaces, complex body-side creases and the Charger Daytona's distinctive front fascia. Resin casting allows GT Spirit to reproduce the aerodynamic detail of the 2025 body with sharp panel-gap definition across the full length of the model. The approach is consistent with GT Spirit's catalogue of contemporary American muscle releases, where surface fidelity on large, sculpted bodies is the primary brief.
Placing It in the Cabinet
At 1:18, the 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack is a substantial shelf presence. The model pairs naturally with the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona in 1:18 from AutoArt or Acme, creating a direct nameplate timeline across 56 years. It also sits well alongside GT Spirit's own catalogue of Ford Mustang GTD and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 releases for a contemporary American performance grouping.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Does the model have opening parts?
GT Spirit produces resin models with a sealed, one-piece body — no opening doors, bonnet or boot. Detail is concentrated on the exterior surfaces: body panel creases, the front fascia design, and the overall coupé silhouette of the 2025 Charger Daytona.
What material is the model made from?
The model is cast in resin by GT Spirit. Resin allows sharper reproduction of complex body surfaces compared to diecast zinc alloy, and is the standard material across GT Spirit's 1:18 range of modern performance cars.
Why does the 2025 Charger carry the Daytona name?
The Daytona name references the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, a NASCAR homologation special built to meet superspeedway regulations. Dodge revived the name for the 2025 electric Charger as a deliberate link to that heritage, connecting the brand's first EV muscle car to one of its most iconic competition variants.
