The Charger Daytona SRT doesn't have a V8, but it sounds like it does

Dodge reveals first electric muscle car...Dodge Charger Daytona SRT coming in 2024

The streets of The Windy City will be filled with the roar of V8 engines when NASCAR comes to town this summer, but things are already loud at the Chicago Auto Show.

Dodge brought its Charger Daytona SRT Banshee electric concept to the event and is showing off its unique "exhaust" system.

The production version of the battery-powered coupe is set to replace all of Dodge's V8-powered sports cars next year, but it is equipped with a couple of features to keep the classic muscle car experience alive.

Along with a multi-speed transmission that's not actually necessary for an electric car, but provides the physical impact of powerful gear changes under acceleration, the car also has something Dodge calls the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust.

“electric muscle car.“ I’m not sure those words go together?

I disagree. They definitely have place in the “fun” category. No way I would give up my ICE cars, but having an EV is enjoyable.

That instant torque off the line leaves almost everyone in the dust when the stop light turns green. Also, in many cases, passing another car is joy to experience. You can almost think yourself instantly ahead of the car you are passing. LOL. If you haven’t experienced it, you should.

The Mach-e already has a sound like this, both on the inside and the outside.

I guess some sound is needed on the outside to reduce the odds of people walking in front of you because they can't hear you. But the fake engine sounds seem juvenile to me.

It’s a recorded engine noise funneled through a Bose Wave Radio??

Is that what this is? PLUS it has fake gear change vibrations??

“Along with a multi-speed transmission that’s not actually necessary for an electric car, but provides the physical impact of powerful gear changes under acceleration”

THIS is the stupidest thing I’ve seen so far with EV’s. Absolutely ridiculous!

Be kind of funny if they added loud motor sounds to one of those little smart ass cars.

So they’ve put in a phony baloney sound system to play pretend V-8 noises while the car’s being driven....to use additional electricity and discharge the battery faster! High level decision makers! One of my pet peeves!

Yet it’s fake. So why don’t they offer other cool sounds like screaming eagles or girls sighing or I don’t know fighter jet engines at full throttle?

LOL...that is SO SO pathetic.

Of course, if the wokester / greenie / climatista mob gets its way and destroys all gasoline powered cars, in 20 or 30 years, nobody will remember the sound of ICE engines and head-snapping gear shifts, so all this silliness will fade away.

Agreed. My wife used to fuss at me when she's in the passenger seat and I'd stop on the gas, especially when we're in the pickup. I'd tell her there might be a speed limit but there's not an acceleration limit. LOL Now that we have an EV and do most of our driving in it, she loves stomping on the accelerator as much as I do. LOL

Here's the youtube of the sound. Strange. Sounds like a quad Mercury 450R on a Midnight Express outboard boat.

When I was a kid, I’d take a clothes pin and a playing card and pin the card to the fender brace such that the card would slap the wheel spokes making a “cool sound”....till it loosened the spokes up.
I kinda view this BS the same way....as that back then.
I’ll just keep my 2011 6-speed, 392 Hemi SRT Challenger...thanks just the same, Dodge.

Or since it’s electric maybe the sound of a swirling ufo.
