Listen to the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV's simulated exhaust.
. A radical concept with retro style and futuristic tech, there was one feature that stuck out: A simulated exhaust sound. The Daytona SRT is electric, you see, so Dodge added a fake internal-combustion exhaust note to quell EV doubters. And we're not sure how we feel about it.
During the car's premiere, published above, Dodge started the car to let it run, even giving the crowd a few revs. The feature, called the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, uses an amplifier near the rear of the car to produce a 126-decibel"exhaust" sound. Dodge says this sound is supposed to replicate a Hellcat's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8. We'll let you listen and decide whether it actually does or not.

There's also what Dodge calls the eRupt transmission. It's a multi-speed unit that allows the driver to shift themselves via an"electro-mechanical" connection.
