The Fratzog is an exhaust....on a BEV....for SOUND!!!!

The front fascia is a WING for aerodynamics!

 

Dodge is keeping performance figures secretive, though it says they exceed the Hellcat engine.

 

The Fratzog can put out 126 decibels....louder than a Hellcat

Dodge has a sample of the sound. I'm looking for a link.

 

They want to keep the sound and feel of driving a muscle car .

It will give you the feeling of shifting.

 

Looks great but the sound so so bad

 

Looks great but the sound so so *** bad

Holy Sh$t!!!!
Thats gorgeous!!!!

 

Wheres the link for the sound?

 

Here it is

 

Beautiful! Hello NASCAR! Charger DAYTONA!!

 

That is beautiful! I recall seeing a Charger rendering years ago that looked a bit like that, from my memory anyway. I haven’t been able to find it since then, so maybe I imagined it (Or I’m just psychic). Lol.

The sound is….well….kinda weird. I was afraid it would sound like 2 cats “going at it”. Unfortunately my fears were justified. Ooooooof.

 

Love the styling would prefer they went with Stealth over Banshee (name and philosoph)

 

Then it would be no point in the Exhaust system Audio they developed....

 

Ok daytona charger banshee? Where is the challenger? Is there no more 4 door sedan? I think I need to see it more, but as some who prefers the charger platform, im sorry about the implicated news. I do like what I see and hope for trickle down for the siblings. Also, dispose fake scoops, wings and noises . I understand noises like reah pearlman understands Danny davito ( it’s me or nobody) but please don’t Pontiac us…

 

It does leave room for a Chrysler 4 door EV. We’ll have to see how things play out over the next year as they end production of the L based Charger and Challenger. If we see the turbo i6 based replacements some other site talked about today then the names will live on for 6+ years.

 

no burble but a datth star ominous background sound. Kinda fun

 

FWIW - no video here yet, but the Allpar-like story is in place... 2022 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT BEV concept

Excellent article Dave.

 

He really put on the hard sell. Looks good, inside and out. Remember, this is a concept. This will get watered down quite a bit. Would never spend my money on this, but at least it looks good. I would take a used Hellcat over this. He's 100% correct on one thing, they were forced into EVs by the G word. He/they have no choice, sad.

 

Agreed that this is a concept. It's pretty clearly production intent. And while there can be much moaning around government mandates, the fact is this is the best performance Dodge has ever had, period, if he told the truth. Also, it wasn't the government that forced them to drop all their fuel efficient cars, was it?

 

I'll believe the performance specs when it's actually in pre production and refined.

 

I am impressed that they reimagined sixties muscle for the 21st century and a new generation. If I was 18 this is something I would want to save my money for… The attitude is staying alive.

Looking forward to the day when some young gal or guy pulls up next to me in the Charger Hellcat and says: “You know, Chargers are supposed to be 2 door…”

Can‘t argue with that…

 

After an only mildly exhausting search of the net, I was able to find a snippet of the unique sound which will emanate from the new EV Charger:
The sound clip begins at 9:00 in the video:

 

looks good got to say when i clicked to read this my thoughts had already went to the 92-93 daytona thinking it would have been easier to reduce drag. as much as i dont want an EV i woudl drive that even on the lower power numbers and say 250mile range

 

So they finally put the front end shape the Charger should have had all along on a car that isn't a Charger.

 

It is a Charger. It’s called the Charger Daytona SRT.

The title implies Banshee is the name, but that’s just what they’re calling the electric powertrain.

 

This car is awesome. I’m very happy to see Dodge not do a copy of everyone else’s electric cars. Being able to choose the inline 6 or BEV will be icing on the cake.

 

Does the E-Rupt system, the multispeed transmission, actually provide any functional benefit, or is it there simply to replicate the feel of shifting? If there's no functional benefit, wouldn't it just be added weight, complexity, and driveline drag for nothing?

 

Slick way of keeping the blunt look/font end of the old Charger/Challenger while keeping the thing aerodynamically slick.

 

I’m interested. They sure did bev like Dodge should.

 

This, my friends, will be a home run.

 

And it's a 2 door !
