Disappointing for Porsche fans

The Taycan Turbo S incidentally lost its power midway during the race, that was then the Model 3 took over. And the Taycan’s driver expressed his thoughts on Porsche being defeated. Said that it is disappointing for Porshe fans to see the defeat, but adds that the technology is yet to be improved. Electric vehicle races are slightly different than fuel-based. The driver states that with this defeat, Porsche will now be improved more and more.

As said by him, “I opened the window of the very fun electric racing world. I think we still need more and more technological innovation. I think it was a very disappointing result for Porsche fans. I think Porsche did it until they ran the Nürburgring. Beyond that, Porsche has not yet been able to set up for the world beyond 25 km. This is a fact, so it will be improved more and more from now on. I’m sure RS will come out after Turbo S. I want them to send information to Weissach and set it up. We (will) also consider some measures. Thank you,”

Two Tesla Model 3 cars defeated Taycan Turbo S

In the second round, the results were similar to the first round. During the first 10 laps, the Taycan Turbo S was winning the race, but then in the last 13 rounds the performance was lost again and Tesla Model 3 continued to win the race.

Here two Tesla Model 3 cars participated. One is unplugged performance and the other is with mountain pass performance parts. The one with Mountain pass performance parts won the race.

開幕に続き2連勝です!ポールスタートから3位に落ちましたが、トップのタイカンと2位のTAKAさんモデル3の激しいバトルを様子見ながら温存し、2台のペースが落ちてきたところでトップに浮上しました。スプリントのように動きがあるレースでとても楽しかったです! pic.twitter.com/OZoUUJWX4r

Eventually, by the third round, the Porsche slowed down initially instead of speeding up at the start itself. So it lasted in the first position longer than the earlier rounds. However, by the 10th lap, the Taycan lost its power, and Model 3 dominated once again.

Meanwhile in Japan…our Taisan UP JEVRA racing team’s @Tesla Model 3 scored another win! We are undefeated this season vs the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and some very talented Model 3 teams. UP suspension and brakes FTW!
Congrats to our pilot @HJitosho_racing for another victory! pic.twitter.com/a8qnUKB09t

The race shows that the electric vehicle race can be different from the earlier races. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S despite being a monster, couldn’t defeat the Tesla Model 3 as the power was not consistent beyond the 10th lap. But the Model 3 continued its performance till the last lap.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
