This is the most American thing we've ever heard.American auto giant Dodge is going electric — and it certainly won't be the first or last to do so.
But to satisfy its muscle car-loving customer base, Dodge is employing an amazingly American solution: since electric motors are very quiet and don't generate the kind of obnoxious noise associated with the brand's gas-guzzling, V8-powered monstrosities, it's exploring technology to make its EVs artificially loud and obnoxious.
That means its upcoming Charger Daytona, set to debut in 2024, will not only generate enough noise to warn pedestrians of its presence — something EVs are federally mandated to do — but the car will also mimic the sound of exhaust by forcing air through pipes with baffles and chambers inside.
The company is promising that its EV will meet its legendary Challenger Hellcat muscle car "in all key performance measures," according toDodge has yet to announce pricing, but chances are you'll hear the Charger Daytona before you see it.
