The ExoMod D69 Carbon Daytona, with a price tag of $395,000, pays tribute to the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. While these vintage cars may not have initially gained widespread popularity in their day, they have since become revered classics.
Today, original examples of these cars can command impressive sums at auction, often reaching six figures. Such is their current allure that some automotive customization firms have begun crafting modern interpretations, drawing inspiration from the current Dodge Challenger.
ExoMod Concepts, based in Greenville, Pennsylvania, seized the opportunity to introduce its creation, the D69 Carbon Daytona, at the recent Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois. This contemporary homage to the Charger Daytona is built upon the foundation of the latest Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, boasting a formidable supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine producing a remarkable 807 horsepower. Notably, the entire body of the D69 Carbon Daytona is meticulously crafted from lightweight carbon fiber, and the distinctive rear wing faithfully replicates the original design.
The transformation begins with a brand-new Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, which is stripped down to its safety cage. ExoMod then integrates the new carbon-fiber body components, enhancing the car’s aesthetics with custom LED lights both at the front and rear. Additionally, a distinctive flip-top gas cap with a stainless-steel finish adds a touch of sophistication. Performance modifications include a bespoke active exhaust system and Forgeline wheels finished in dark satin bronze, wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires. The meticulous craftsmanship involved in this process requires approximately 2,000 hours.
It’s worth noting that ExoMod maintains the original factory warranty for the powertrain, ensuring peace of mind for buyers. Moreover, they affirm that servicing can be conveniently carried out at most Dodge dealerships.
In addition to the Carbon Daytona, ExoMod also offers a tribute to another classic, the wide-body 1968 Dodge Charger, providing a range of options for enthusiasts seeking a blend of modern performance and timeless design.
