Dodge hit a new high note today, revealing the final performance character of the all-new Dodge Charger Daytona\u2019s Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system during a press conference preview of the Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge event. The patent-pending system shatters preconceptions of a typical battery-electric vehicle, bringing a signature rumble and tactile sound wave output that will serve as the soundtrack for the all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R\/T and Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe world\u2019s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust brings the raw rumble of iconic Dodge muscle to the next-generation, all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona,\u201d said Matt McAlear, Dodge brand CEO \u2013 Stellantis. “We know our Dodge enthusiasts want that visceral feel you get when you drive a Dodge muscle car, and the Charger\u2019s new Fratzonic system delivers the adrenaline-pumping spirit that they expect. It reacts to specific inputs and driving events, giving the driver a direct connection to their new Charger. Simply put, when you hear it and feel it, you will know it\u2019s a Dodge Charger Daytona.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fratzonic name is inspired by the Dodge\u2019s brand\u2019s historic Fratzog logo, the new symbol of Dodge brand next-generation vehicles and prominently featured on the all-new Dodge Charger. The\u00a0Dodge Charger Daytona SRT\u00ae Concept, revealed in August 2022, teased a prototype version of the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust audio profile. The Dodge brand continued to fine-tune the system\u2019s performance notes before locking in the all-new Dodge Charger\u2019s one-of-a-kind personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

System features work in concert to generate a deep rumble and visceral feel that aligns with Dodge DNA.
