Stellantis To Use Patented Vibration System To Simulate ICE Vehicles On EVs

Stellantis continues to bridge the gap between traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles and the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs). With gimmicks like Dodge’s Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust and eRupt multi-speed transmission, both of which are scheduled to debut in the upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona, they are trying to convince the public that EVs … (read full article...)

at least they are trying to give an artificial authentic driving experience.

This is nothing new. I remember the rides in front of the grocery stores. Darn, I should have patented putting a playing card on the spokes of my bicycle.

there is prior art on that one.

While some of this may be new to the auto industry in this aspect, haptic feedback is a technology that has been around for quite some time. from Video game controllers to cell phones, we've been using this tech for so long, half of us don't even think about it anymore. I give Dodge alot of credit for putting the amount of time and energy into trying to make something that will appeal to their customers as they shift from living in the past to moving into the present and future with their new offerings. While everyone else is just making their EVs efficient, the Mopar brand is doing what it can to at least inject an amount of excitement and stimulation into something that would otherwise be just as boring and mundane as the rest of the EV world. The same goes for the fact that they're doing what they can to offer ICE performance even if it's not with the V8 engine. The Hurricane-6 is a beast of a three-liter engine with it's standard output variant putting out nearly the same horsepower as a 6.1L "Hemi" V8 with way more torque. This engine is capable of producing over 1000hp in whatever the CAT-X version may be and seeing that it will have forged internals, this powertrain can do way more than the factory 5.7L 6.1L or 6.4L can do and can potentially handle more power than a forged 6.2L with less than half the size. That's honestly impressive. We know already that Stellantis has the STLA: Large platform and STLA: Frame platform. Both of which will really cater to these new powertrains and alot of this new technology in ways that are alot more dynamic than what we currently have with the L-platform muscle cars, the current Durango platform and the Ram 1500 platform so it's pretty clear that performance is still on the agenda for the brand. I also look at the potential that the 3.0L has as a hybrid. Seeing that the new hybrid 4th-gen ZF 8-speed is a power adder in itself, what happens when you take a 550hp twin turbo inline-6 and connect it to a hybrid transmission that's able to make its own horsepower and torque? Not only that let's take it a few steps further. If Dodge is planning stage kits for it's EVs, why can't a Direct Connection Stage kit not only come with hardware to upgrade the power output of the turbocharged engine but also tuning algorithms to increase the EV output of the hybrid transmission? On the EV side of things, who's to say that Borla won't offer their own sound upgrade "Fratzonic" system with Acoustically Tuned Applied Kinetics (A.T.A.K) technology or Polyphonic Technology with no drone technology offering deeper, louder systems than what is on the car from the factory. Honestly, there is way more performance potential with what is coming that what we currently have. I think we may be pleasantly surprised with what is coming from the Brand in the next few years.

Knowing it has forged internals and comes from the factory with 26psi of boost tells you you can increase boost safely at least %20 more, and the 1000hp on the road version is not that hard to get compared to the Hellcat engines.

... If Dodge is planning stage kits for it's EVs, why can't a Direct Connection Stage kit not only come with hardware to upgrade the power output of the turbocharged engine but also tuning algorithms to increase the EV output of the hybrid transmission? ...

I wouldn't bet money on DC for the ICE engines.. They took a long time to certify their kits for the 6.2 engines, and that's only up to stage 2, and stage 3, from what it seems, is dead in the water.

People are automatically going to rip out those systems, then they will a. get all of the V8 power options from the previous vehicles, and upgrade them immensely, b. build a new custom made V8 Max Wedge engine, either independently of, or alongside, those V8 engines, or c. contract companies like Shelby (they did Chrysler products as well), or Steve Morris Engines, and have them work on upgraded V8 engines that are from the outgoing models of the Dodge Charger and Challenger. Failure to do so will end up being like the Fourth and Fifth Generations of the Dodge Charger, and the Second Generation of the Dodge Challenger, which was a badge swapped cousin of the Mitsubishi Station that, in the right hands, could have been a good Pony Car rival to the Fox Body Ford Mustang/Second Generation (USA) Mercury Capri, but was neutered by the bean counters and envirotards that want to suck the fun out of everything in their lives. Alternatively, it could be even worse if people do not take a stand and demand high powered V8 Hemi ICE only engines. Chrysler, as well as tons of other vehicle manufacturers, will fall, and so will the envirotard ones as well, because no one wants the electric vehicles, no one can afford them, those vehicles are not safe for a variety of reasons, and those vehicles are ironically WORSE for the environment than the vehicles that they are supposed to replace. I see a HUGE aftermarket, and quite a few legitimate wars, breaking out over people customizing their vehicles to be powered by ICE means in the future.
