New Dodge Charger Coupe Body Leaks With Evidence Of Combustion

A little more than a month ago, a rumor emerged claiming that the upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EVwould have a combustion-powered sibling, and that has now been confirmed by images leaked from a Stellantis factory. The images are courtesy of theDaytona Ownersand come with no supporting information, but there is still a lot that we can glean.

For a start, the body is clearly that of a two-door coupe, and if our eyes aren't playing tricks on us, it appears that this body will feature a hatchback, just as on theelectric concept revealed a year ago. It bears similar body lines to that concept, which we were told at the time was a genuine statement of something real to come.

Looking more closely, one can clearly see that provision has been made for a transmission tunnel and driveline, while the front end has space for an engine (or a frunk for an EV). A recess for a gas cap also confirms our suspicions, but what's curious is that the floor does not appear to have space for a traditional battery pack.

Either the Charger coupe will only be offered as a combustion car, or the electric components will have to be packaged above each axle.

On the roof, it appears that rumors of a full panoramic glass panel have been based on fact. This is expected to be an option.
