The first version we heard from two years ago sounded too electric, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2023\/02\/21\/dodge-charger-daytona-ev-fratzonic-exhaust-sound-clip-video\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:1;\">second draft from a year ago<\/a> injected a few notes of necessary muscle. Now, more than a year later, we&#8217;re getting a taste of the third arrangement. This one is a lot closer to genuine muscle. Dodge ran a <a class=\"injectedLinkmain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/dodge\/charger\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:2;\">Charger<\/a> Daytona through a tunnel to start the sample \u2014 getting an acoustic assist in the process \u2014 but even after the underpass, that ICE cadence of perfectly timed explosions rings clear. We don&#8217;t know what happened between the second take and this one. To our ears, this sounds remarkably close to a recording of a V8, although Dodge previously said that isn&#8217;t how they&#8217;d use the system.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-S5b4uuOVf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\n    \u00a0\n   <\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\n   \u00a0\n  <\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\n   \u00a0\n  <\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">\n    View this post on Instagram\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\n   \u00a0\n  <\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">\n     \u00a0\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\n    \u00a0\n   <\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\n    \u00a0\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C-S5b4uuOVf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:3;\">A post shared by Dodge (@dodgeofficial)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p\/>\n<p>For a refresher, the Fratzonic Exhaust is basically a speaker driver with a tuned box and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Passive_radiator_(speaker)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:4;\" data-rapid_p=\"19\" data-v9y=\"1\">dual &#8220;passive radiators,&#8221;<\/a> which are speaker cones without drivers. In situations where space is an issue, these so-called &#8220;drone cones&#8221; work off of sound pressure in the enclosure and help create deeper pitches. Dodge claims the mechanical combination and tuning lets the battery-electric Charger Daytona hit the same 126 dB exhaust level as the gas-powered Hellcat models. And we were told that these aren&#8217;t merely recorded noises from Dodge&#8217;s ICE range, the team creating unique sounds for each electric powertrain level that involve familiar notes and the cadence of a V8. Also, each powertrain will offer multiple sounds for each vehicle, the volume and tone varying based on the drive mode selected. Dodge also confirmed owners will be able to &#8220;rev&#8221; the Charger Daytona when at a stop, adding to the old-school performance feeling.<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn&#8217;t be far off finding out how it all comes together in real life.
