One man was killed at the blast site. The other, suffering severe burns, died shortly afterward in hospital.
Prosecutor Makhmud Isaev said the two appeared to have accidentally detonated a bomb.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the blast, including the possibility that the two were preparing to kill a local prosecutor who lives in the neighborhood where the car exploded.
Daghestan, which borders on Russia's breakaway republic of Chechnya, has been rocked by a series of bombing attacks on law enforcement authorities.
