The audio that Dodge promoted with its Charger Daytona SRT idea isn’t completed. Brand Name CEO Tim Kuniskis disclosed on a recent episode of Autoline After Hours that the automaker continues to fine-tune and also tweak the audio of the automobile’s Fratzonic exhaust system.
Dodge produced a formula that relocates air through an audio speaker box with chambers, plenums, pipelines, as well as an exhaust outlet that appears the back of the automobile. “Air appearing the back of the vehicle was important,” Kuniskis stated concerning the design. He makes the remark at 15:30. The video clip starts at the 14-minute mark.

the cars and truck’s back as a result of moving air. Kuniskis compared it to listening to border noise for the very first time. Dodge developed the Banshee powertrain’s howling exhaust note to be polarizing intentionally. According to the firm, the audio can reach 126 dB, which is as loud as a Hellcat V8 and also something that does not convert well with video clip. At idle, there’s a hidden bass track that is the shooting order of a Hemi V8, linking a little bit of the brand’s heritage into the futuristic model.
After a solid decade of producing high-powered V8 engines, Dodge’s switch to EVs will certainly be a large one, and the brand is making use of the Fratzonic exhaust system and Banshee powertrain to stand apart from other EV makers. It’s still uncertain if the Charger Daytona SRT sneak peeks a production version, however the Charger as well as Challenger end manufacturing in December 2023, and it’s uncertain Dodge will certainly abandon those nameplates. The concept Dodge exposed in August was striking, with the style taking precise cues from the business’s history, paying homage to the two-door version from 1968 to 1970. Inside, the concept looked prepared to roll down the production line, with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen as well as a 16-inch digital instrument cluster. If Dodge is continuing to tune the Charger Daytona SRT’s exhaust note, after that we envision some element of it will certainly wind up on a future manufacturing lorry. The next Charger and also Challenger will certainly be EVs. It’s a creative way to differentiate the vehicle from others that produce man-made automobile sounds with audio speakers.
