Dodge has previewed an electrical Charger, and sure we’ll be listening to that pun for days (or weeks). However actually, what we wish to hear presently is what the unsilent electrical car idea seems like.
Launched just a few hours in the past, the Dodge Charger Daytona Idea EV is the preview of the automaker’s future electrical efficiency. Regardless of being powered by an electrical motor (or motors?), the idea comes with a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system that is supposed to provide a sound.
Fortunately, Stellantis did not waste time and launched a video of the Charger Daytona Idea EV, which incorporates operating footage. We embedded the video atop this web page.

From the video, the Fratzonic EV exhaust makes a well-known sound – it seems like KITT from Knight Rider however extra strong and angrier, particularly while you open the throttle. There’s additionally a deep atmospheric sound from the video, however we’re undecided if it is the EV’s idling sound.
Dodge hasn’t detailed how the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system works presently. Nonetheless, the automaker mentioned that it ought to produce an exhaust noise of as much as 126 dB, which needs to be as loud because the Hellcat V8 on full throttle. In spite of everything, Dodge describes it as “actually deafening” and a muscle automotive that can make “a sound that you may’t think about.”
As for efficiency, Dodge hasn’t shared any particular figures however claims that the electrical idea is quicker than the outgoing Hellcat. The small print of the Banshee powertrain are additionally below wraps, so we nonetheless cannot make any comparability simply but. It’s, nevertheless, represented by Hellcat-like badges on the edges.
One factor’s for certain, although. No matter Dodge is cooking with its electrical efficiency future, it will likely be totally different from the present roster of EVs on sale proper now. Trying deliciously retro on the surface is only a bonus, which makes us want that a lot of the parts from the idea attain manufacturing.
