Overview
- Multiple outlets cite MoparInsiders’ supplier-channel reports that the Charger Daytona SRT Banshee program has been scrapped.
- Stellantis issued a statement saying it is reassessing product strategy and reviewing future SRT vehicles without confirming the cancellation.
- The Banshee was billed as an 800-volt, multi-motor flagship expected to exceed Hellcat performance, with reports suggesting output well over 800 horsepower.
- Context for the rethink includes soft early reception of the Charger EV, discontinuation of the base Daytona R/T, and the Scat Pack remaining as the lone EV trim.
- The report aligns with broader moves under Stellantis to scale back EV programs and revive ICE offerings, including Hurricane I6 Sixpack models and returning HEMI V8s, alongside axed projects like Ram REV and Jeep Gladiator 4xe.
