Dodge Teases Fratzonic Exhaust for 2024 Charger Daytona

Dodge has captured the attention of muscle car enthusiasts and EV skeptics with a new teaser video showcasing its innovative Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. The video, posted on Dodge’s social media accounts, features the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack emerging from a tunnel with a sound reminiscent of a roaring V8 engine. This sets the stage for the official reveal at the upcoming Roadkill Nights event.

The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust is designed to address the quiet operation of electric vehicles (EVs), which has been a point of contention for traditional muscle car fans. Instead of using speakers to simulate engine noise, this system employs strategically placed chambers beneath the vehicle. These chambers work with woofers and mid-range speakers to produce “exhaust” notes, which are then channeled through dual pipes, mimicking the appearance and sound of traditional internal combustion engines.

Utilizing a combination of digital sounds and basic filtering, the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust aims to create a more authentic auditory experience. According to Dodge’s patent filings, this method is designed to replicate the beloved tones of modern-day small-block V8 engines, bridging the gap between traditional muscle cars and silent EVs.

The teaser video offers a glimpse into what fans can expect from the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. The brief clip shows a Charger Daytona Scat Pack driving out of a tunnel, with the sound gradually building to a V8-like roar. This has quickly sparked a wave of comments, with most fans expressing a desire for the return of the HEMI V8 engine.

Dodge will unveil the final sound of the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust at the Roadkill Nights event, a popular gathering for car enthusiasts. This reveal promises to be a highlight of the event, addressing the concerns of muscle car fans hesitant to transition to electric vehicles due to the lack of traditional engine sounds.

While Dodge’s approach has generated excitement, it has also sparked debate within the automotive community. Stay tuned, as we will see and hear the new 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona First Edition this Friday.
