The Daytona is based off the 1969 Charger. It has aerodynamic add-ons including and extended front-end and a large rear spoiler (tall enough to allow the trunk to open).
Dodge offered two engine packages for the Daytona. The first was the 440 V8, and the second was the 426 Hemi V8. Of the 503 total Daytona's produced, only 70 had the Hemi.
Dodge's mission in building the Daytona was to dominate the high speed tracks in Nascar series such as Daytona. The Daytona fulfilled its mission by taking the top four spots at Daytona that year. The racing version of the Daytona also set a world record closed-course speed record of 201.104 mph. Another Daytona hit 217 mph at Bonneville.
