Dodge hit a new high note today, revealing the final performance
character of the all-new Dodge Charger Daytona's 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.
"The world's first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust brings the raw
rumble of iconic Dodge muscle to the next-generation, all-electric
Dodge Charger Daytona," said Matt
McAlear, Dodge brand CEO – Stellantis. "We know our Dodge
enthusiasts want that visceral feel you get when you drive a Dodge
muscle car, and the Charger's 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's a Dodge Charger Daytona."
The Fratzonic name is inspired by the Dodge's brand's historic
Fratzog logo, the new symbol of Dodge brand next-generation
vehicles and prominently featured on the all-new Dodge Charger. The
Dodge Charger Daytona SRT 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's performance notes before
locking in the all-new Dodge Charger's one-of-a-kind
personality.
The all-new Dodge Charger — the Dodge brand's muscle car of the
future — will make its public debut at the annual Roadkill Nights
Powered by Dodge horsepower festival, now in its ninth year and set
to take place on August 10 at M1
Concourse in Pontiac,
Michigan.
World's First Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust
The
patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system on Dodge Charger
Daytona models is equipped with dual bespoke, high-efficiency
extreme bandwidth transducers coupled with dual Fratzonic
Chamber-loaded passive radiators, all housed in a custom enclosure
and powered by a dedicated amplifier with up to 600 watts of power.
System features work in concert to generate a deep rumble and
visceral feel that aligns with Dodge DNA. Four custom-designed
elastomer isolator bushings support the Fratzonic system, working
similarly to the isolators of an internal combustion engine exhaust
to further enhance the vehicle's performance profile.
The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust incorporates driver and vehicle
inputs, such as accelerator pedal position, speed and torque
output, to deliver the Charger Daytona's signature performance
tones. Distinctive vehicle sounds provide essential driver
feedback, especially at the track and at elevated speeds to enhance
the immersive in-car feel. Acoustic intensity is tied to higher
performance: Sport Mode features a medium sound output, while Drag,
Drift, Donut and Track Modes deliver a louder roar. A fully silent
Stealth Mode is also available, with Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust
controls accessible via the Charger Daytona's 12.3-inch standard
central touchscreen.
The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, centered in the Charger
Daytona's lower rear fascia and identified by a Fratzonic text
logo, intensifies a suite of dynamic vehicle events, including:
- Power up/Power down
- Idle/Rev
- Acceleration/Throttle
- PowerShot
- Deceleration/E-motor regen
