Experience the Power of Electric Muscle with the Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee Concept
It’s no secret that the Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee concept is one of the most exciting electric muscle cars to hit the streets. When it debuted in recent times, the coupe was an instant hit with its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system that promises to restore some soul to the EV powertrain. With a 126 decibel volume and a custom mix of throttle position and speed, the sound of the Banshee’s exhaust is sure to make heads turn.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Dodge tuners have worked hard to make the second draft of the Fratzonic exhaust even better, with more low-end and more rumble. The new sound debuted at the Chicago Auto Show’s Concept & Technology garage and it has really made the Banshee stand out.
Although production of the Banshee isn’t slated to start until 2024, other automakers are already getting in on the action. Lamborghini has applied to trademark electric sound clips for their upcoming hybrid V12 powertrain, and Ferrari is attempting to patent a sound system for their electric cars that will be nothing short of emotional.
It’s safe to say that the Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee concept is the beginning of a new era for electric muscle cars. With its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system and other exciting features, the Banshee will make sure the sound of electric powertrains will never be forgotten.

Introduction
The Charger Daytona EV: A Bold Transition
The Banshee Propulsion System
- 800-Volt Power: The Banshee system operates at an impressive 800 volts, enabling rapid charging and efficient power delivery.
- All-Wheel Drive (eRupt): Unlike many electric vehicles, the Charger Daytona features an actual transmission. Dodge calls it eRupt, a multi-speed, electro-mechanical all-wheel-drive system.
Unforeseen Electrical Challenges
- Flatbed Wrecker Incident: A prototype was spotted being hauled back to the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) on a flatbed wrecker. Tow straps ran through its open windows, indicating a serious issue.
- Locked Hatch: Engineers faced a locked hatch situation, forcing them to climb through the interior to access the cargo area. This explains the cords hanging out from some prototypes’ hatches, especially in upscale models with power hatches.
