- A Charger Daytona suffered rear-end damage, but repair might still be feasible.
- The electric Scat Pack version can reach 60 mph from standstill in just 3.3 seconds.
- It has only 822 miles on the odometer, making it a prime candidate for repair.
In early April, one of the first crash-damaged 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models landed on our desks after it took a hefty side hit. It didn’t take long for the second one to show up just a few days later. Fast forward a few weeks, and now a third Charger Daytona is sitting at one of IAAI’s yards in the U.S., getting prepped for sale.

This time, it’s the Charger Daytona Scat Pack model, and it’s currently in Atlanta, Georgia. The car was totaled with only 822 miles (1,322 km) on the odometer. Naturally, the insurer decided it wasn’t worth fixing, which, at least on the surface, seems like a bit of an overreaction. The damage doesn’t look that bad and could probably be patched up without much trouble at all.
The damage seems to be isolated to the rear of the car, most likely from a rear-end collision with another vehicle. There’s a chance the driver may have backed into something, but we’ll go with the rear-end theory for now. The rear bumper is broken, the tailgate has been knocked out of place, and one taillight is completely busted.
Some damage may have also been done to the rear crash structure of this Charger, but it’s hard to say based on these images alone. From what we can see, the car could be repaired with a new bumper, tailgate, taillight, and may also need a new rear window installed. Other than that, it looks mostly fine, and there’s no visible damage to the sides or front of the car. The impact also wasn’t severe enough to trigger the airbags.

While the all-electric Charger hasn’t exactly set the world on fire nor gotten enthusiasts particularly interested, it’d be a shame if this car isn’t repaired. Yes, it’s electric, but it packs an impressive 670 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque thanks to a pair of electric motors. It also features a 100.5 kWh battery pack and can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds, quicker than even an old Charger Hellcat Redeye with 797 hp.
