• Dodge appears to have finalized the sound of the electric Charger Daytona.
  • The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust promises to deliver Hellcat-intense, performance-infused noise.
  • We can expect to learn an assortment of new details about the EV later this week.  

Dodge is gearing up to host a performance-focused event on August 9, where “attendees will ‘hear’ the latest news on the all-new Dodge Charger Daytona.” It appears we’re getting an early preview as the company has posted a new clip on Instagram.

In it, a revving-like noise can be heard in the background before a Charger comes into frame and drives past the camera. Dodge didn’t say much other than “Hear that?,” but we’ve reached out for more information.

Nevertheless, it appears Dodge is teasing the final sound of the Charger Daytona. The company originally previewed their intentions in 2022, when they released a soundtrack for the Charger Daytona SRT concept. It was met with mixed reaction as some people called it futuristic, while others complained it sounded like a vacuum cleaner.

Dodge has been working to fine-tune the sound ever since and it appears they’ve settled on something that embraces tradition, but also has a futuristic element to it. While opinion will undoubtedly be split, it at least communicates performance.

We can expect to learn full details later this week, but the Charger Daytona is notable for having a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. It uses “two passive radiators to create a unique exhaust profile with Hellcat levels of sound intensity that shatters the preconception of a typical quiet BEV and instead delivers a sound worthy of the Brotherhood of Muscle.”

The intensity changes depending on what’s happening and Dodge said the sound provides driver feedback, “especially at the track and at elevated speeds.”

As a refresher, the Charger Daytona will be offered in R/T and Scat Pack guise. The former produces up to 496 hp (370 kW / 503 PS), while the latter develops up to 670 hp (500 kW / 679 PS). This should enable the Scat Pack to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and run the quarter-mile in approximately 11.5 seconds.
