What is the electric Dodge Charger’s ‘Fratzonic exhaust’ system?

Electric vehicles typically don’t make a lot of sound, especially at lower speeds, thanks to their lack of a noisy internal combustion engine. That won’t be the case with the upcoming electric Dodge Charger though. The Charger will have a “Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust” system that will mimic that traditional Dodge Charger sound.

The Fratzonic system consists of various chambers underneath the vehicle body combined with woofers and midrange speakers powered by a 600 W amplifier (the name refers to Dodge’s logo). It also uses elastomeric bushings to transmit vibrations through the chassis, so you can not only hear but feel the effects. The system imitates a range of different actions like powering up, idling, revving, accelerating, throttling and deceleration.

“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,” said Dodge brand CEO at Stellantis Matt McAlear. “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.”
