The aftermarket market has already started to shape the future of the electric Dodge Charger Daytona. With Waido Kits leading the way, the first widebody kit for the electric model promises to redefine its aesthetics, combining aggressiveness with technical innovation. This article details the components, price expectations, and the impact of this customization on the automotive scene.
Aftermarket Market Embraces Electric Charger Version
The arrival of the electric Dodge Charger Daytona has sparked immediate interest in the customization segment. According to Carscoops, the model is considered a milestone for Dodge, irrespective of the polarization surrounding its electrification. The expectation is that it will continue the legacy of its predecessors, generating demand for aesthetic and functional upgrades.
Waido Kits, known for bold projects for models like the Tesla Cybertruck and Jeep Grand Cherokee, was among the first to announce a widebody kit for the new Charger. The company uses renders to showcase parts that widen the vehicle by 10 cm, highlighting aggressive lines and premium materials.
Waido Kits Leads Customization of the New Electric Model
The widebody kit includes an extended front splitter, widened side panels, and redesigned side skirts. At the rear, a forged carbon fiber diffuser and a fixed wing complete the look. Custom wheels with carbon aero discs enhance the aerodynamic appeal, although the set prioritizes visual impact over discretion.
While the official price has not been disclosed, Waido’s history suggests a range between $1,790 and $9,990. The difference reflects the complexity of the designs: kits for previous Challenger and Charger models cost less, while the Cybertruck required a higher investment. It is speculated that the gasoline version of the Charger, expected in 2024, will receive a similar package.
Design and Technical Specifications of the Widebody Package
In addition to aesthetic components, the kit maintains compatibility with the original structure of the Charger Daytona. The forged carbon fiber used in the diffuser reduces weight without compromising strength. The renders also show adjustments in the vehicle’s height, suggesting the possibility of a lowered suspension — a detail not yet confirmed by the manufacturer.
Waido Kits has not mentioned any changes in power or consumption for the electric model, focusing exclusively on aesthetics. The 670 hp motor of the Charger Daytona R/T remains intact, ensuring performance alongside the new look. The company promises to release more technical information after testing on real prototypes.
