GoPro9 footage of the electric Dodge Charger driven around the grandstand at The Strip dragstrip, Las Vegas, during Dodge Speed Week on Mar 20, '23. The driver demoed the ICE-ish "revving" sound and it was as lame as you probably expect. I liked the faked "burbling" sound. Since EVs are so quiet, I bet the burbling would help prevent kids from being run down since the electric Charger is not stealthy by a long shot.
Making an EV sound like an ICE is like the vegan that makes "steak" out of vegetables.
that’s liberals for you
Classic monk style. Make vegetable dishes looking like duck and pork lol!
Like the car they can keep that sound tho 😂
My first question for the dealer is going to be "can I turn the sound off"
@@ayakoholicYes, the sound is embarrassing. I wouldn't buy it as an EV anyway, ice or hybrid maybe.
I would prefer an actusl mean e-motor whine, that shit can soubd so agressive! Like, commit to it being ekectric and go all in, maybe even amplify it. The kind of sound you can hear in electrikhana
If only they would put an actual engine in it, that would be dope
They can't
the future is ev man. I love the hemi, but you see whats happening just like the rest of us
@@stevedonovan9739 yeah I know
@@stevedonovan9739 it really isn’t, the infrastructure for fully electric cars doesn’t exist, at least within the US, and we’ve already seen how major electric companies react when we ask them to update their electrical systems that were made in the 60s and 70s
@@xxmadiii85xx96It really is. "EV infrastructure doesn't exi..." Until it does. They're adding charging stations at an incredible rate "But they're charged via fossil fu..." Yes. Currently but the centralized nature of power generation is cleaner than many individual engines (that rarely see service if we're honest) AND the world is and can move to cleaner renewable sources. Add in the fact Electric will be more reliable, MUCH faster (Super cars aren't going electric for climate reasons. Electric is Literally the only way forward if performance is going to continue to grow), and ALREADY provide longer ranges than standard ICE engines.
They nailed the styling
Agree, but I hope that fake sound can be turned off or disabled, it is ridiculous.
@@artillerybuff2000 I would think it would be programmable. I also think there would be aftermarket sound libraries to choose from. Hopefully we will get a better understanding if this car is EV only, ICE, or Hybrid. There is talk of Hybrid with the V6 dual Turbo engine with electric front drive, that may be a nice package. I’m just patiently waiting to see what and when the car is available for purchase. Fingers crossed they release it in B5 blue. Although the car looks great in the metallic red.
But not the power plant and sound
@@JoelKSLC V6 or inline 6?
@@artillerybuff2000 my bad, in-line 6 turbo.
It Damn sure look pretty. But can you imagine if a V8 was in that car.
It'd kind of ruin it. Sleek futuristic car that sounds like something from 1970 and has worse performance than electric
@@Kloppin4H0rses delusional
Dodge better offer those wheels as an option on the production version because hose things go hard AF
Wheels do look good, I ain't gone lie!!!!
They need to work on the sound
@Chef Chris Smith I agree. Everything else looks good but jus need add up 4 doors. And like you said need working on the sound. 💯
@@oseimorris5020 yes it needs 4 doors! 💯
people who want 4 doors ruined the Charger in the first place
This must be the new Charger Hellkitten no one wants
Speak for yourself 😂!
@Kevin Shackelford fair enough lol you want one? I want it to be good but i just dont like what i am seeing so far. To be fair, the final version could change people's mind
@Josh Dahmen I definitely want one, but I am not a muscle car enthusiast, to be honest. So, my perspective may be biased in regards to just appreciating the car. Josh, I'm afraid the final production won't be anything like this. I was happy with the preproduction Ram Rev before they changed it.
@Kevin Shackelford understood and fair. I hope they surprise us with some other, non ev option but if not, then all i can hope for is a better "muscle car" option for those like me who want it lol but only time will tell. I hope you get the car you want brother!
counterpoint: A mad Dodge diehard fanatic that hates a car just because it's electronic. Eat my EV dust while I speed off into the sunset, sitting inside this beauty. 😊
The Hellcat that nobody wants.
yo dodge gon lose sooo many loyal fans after this one SMMH
But Normies Deserve 🦇
No one? I’m trying to get my preorder in
Speak for yourself!
Might as well just get a modelS P
The design is outstanding. Not a bad line on it, and a spectacular update of the present Charger ( which I own ). If that car had a Hellcat engine Dodge wouldn't know how to keep up to the demand for it. Considering how awful the latest offerings from BMW and others look this car is amazing.
More retro than an update.
Latest offering from bmw are crushing hellcat owners in the street and track
@@Echelonperformance so much for a dysfunctional blinker
@@Echelonperformancemaybe, but for a German made car, I sure do see a lot of them broke down on the side of the road. More than most American cars, of any make and model. So for that reason alone, you can keep your BMW.
The top of the line Daytona Charger E-Muscle car is called the 'Banshee'
Will never give up my Hellcat for this ev shot. Nope.
Stay eating EV dust then.
stay mad lol
who asked you to? people have EVs for no reason. at least they’re doing something to not pollute the earth
@@q113you do realize that the production and charging of EVs release lots of greenhouse gasses as well right
@@patryka2351 stll prolly less that using a gas car for years
That thing would be SO AWESOME with a HEMI 😎
I'm thinking if they wanna step it up to the next level just hemi it amd thro a hybrid ev engine into the diff?
@1:10 you can hear a vacuum completely clogged up.
It needs a short spoiler to kinda bring that rear to life
Definitely
Yes!!!!
@@bonbon1286 yeah kinda like the classics they have that short wing spoiler It would give it the classic feel but with modernized design Hopefully dodge learns from this first Gen release and will make it better For now I’ll sit back and watch what happens because it seems EVs are a fad that are slowing down
A ducktail MIGHT look nice
This is the best rear lights I ever seen and you say the rear is meh lol
I still think it's silly to contrive an engine sound on an EV to mimic a combustion engine (can you imagine an electric stove being given LED "flames" to resemble a gas one?) but I'd still take this over the infernal "ohhhhhhh" choir piped in on many of today's EVs.
Ohhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I take it you've never seen an electric stove
@@shamrocktheshamrock I have one and it’s awful. Gas is just better. I’ve had both
@@Jawz_345 facts lol
@@shamrocktheshamrock I've had every type of stove at one point or another. In addition to being safer, better for the environment, and in many places cheaper, electric stoves also far outperform gas ones in most cases. You can hear it from Consumer Reports if you don't believe me. Same applies to electric vs gas cars; it's an objective technological improvement that some people choose to just ignore because nostalgia.
The bud light of cars 😂
Strap Dylan to the hood with a pride flag, it’ll sell like hotcakes
@Ghost-rr7xh Why?? So kid rock can put holes in it with his AR???
V8 in that body style 💪🏼😍
Well they can remake "The Wraith" movie and feature a murdered-out version of this car. It has the sound already
Facts!
This can really do good for all the EV enthusiasts. I really like the car and the sound is better then it was before for sure. And there is many reasons why they are getting rid of the hemi. 1. They were selling them for years 2. Stellantis ruined the hemis unfortunately
The Hemi V8s wouldn't pass the emission restrictions that will be put into effect in 2024, I think. Ford on the other hand has the 5.0 V8 and has already passed the emissions for next year. Regardless, I will still be buying the new Charger EV in the future.
Of which sound are you talking about? The fake sound??? 🤡
I’m talking about the “amplifier”
Make sure u dont blow out ur speakers while revving too much, GARBAGE EV
That fake ICE engine noise is one of the most contrived things I think that Dodge has ever produced.
Please tell me that noise was coming from the track.. lol
Unfortunately no, it's fake noise from the car. How sad...
Not Fake Noise. Real sound.... Fratzonic Chamber
@BLK MAGNETO you're right, I stand corrected, it's REAL NOISE fake exhaust lol
the tire screeching noise is coming from somewhere else
@@artillerybuff2000 the exhaust is apparently pushing out air according to dodge, for additional information, I'm not sure how much that means as to how it's getting funneled put of the car but, there's obviously more going on with what they've been doing with the fratzonic sound than what people are childishly laughing at to this day.
I actually want one
Just needs to be painted in orange with the number 01 on the doors and the rebel flag on the roof.
Love the style, Just put a big v8 supercharger on it.
They styling is amazing and I’m sure it looks better in person people are gonna be doing hellcatswaps with these the trumpet pipes don’t sound bad either
Have they shown this car going faster than 2mph yet? Christ they announced the demon to an on-stage drag strip, wtf is this??
The rear end needs to be a little more extended in my opinion. Other then that it's looks amazing
I believe it's shortened for performance, it still looks like an old charger quite alot. And I would like a longer rear end but I don't mind this at all
Agreed
Can't wait for the hurricane versions to be shown
if they brought the c pillars forward i think it would look better. it just looks stretched for the backrow seats.
This would sell like hot cakes if it had a Hemi in it. Dodge would continue to dominate for many years to come. However, because its electric and limited to DLC performance upgrades and exhaust ringtones it’s just a sliver of what it could be. IMO
Dont worry in a few years when those are dirt cheap because batery failures you could swap a nice 440 with a t56 and a dana rear end
Not a Charger without 4 doors. Insult to the newly established tradition.
You get a free case of bud light with purchase.
Sounds like an alien. Coolest noise you can hear from an ev.
To all those complaining about the fake sound, you really want a silent one? Eesh. Imho I think eventually the hellcat we have now will evolve in to a much higher priced machine and they will continue building them in lower quantities, seems to be the route ever other company is going right now.
Truly the first muscle car that nobody wants
Dodge went from making cars to making glorified golf carts.
They had no choice. Go ev or go bankrupt
@@MrEvilTag they'll go bankrupt for going ev. Ford lost 4.6 billion last year on their ev division. Made 8.4 billion in their gasoline division. Go woke, go broke.
Im starting to like it I can’t wait to see it in silver
I want one in all black matte with the accents / shiny parts dark greyed out.
Just think of the amount of money they could have made if it had a demon motor in it.
They finally bring back the 2 dr Charger, but ruin it by making it electric. Looks great, but not worth it, unless someone puts an big engine in it.
I agree .. they could make EVs but the Challenger and charger should have kept it’s V8 or at least one of them … I get dodge wants to move forward with the rest of the industry as far as the EV boom goes but damn why so early .. the Mustang kept it’s V8 why the hell couldn’t dodge
@ShawnLamont1997 I hear you. But sadly, even though the Mustang is keeping its V8 longer than Camaro, Charger, Challenger, it's also supposed to lose it soon, from what I read. Its all sad. 1 day they will admit, (they know now that EVs are actually worse for environment), they should have hept the ICE around longer. Vehicles Will be faster, quicker, more powerful, but will have NO SOUL, and the home mechanic will need and engineering degree just to work on them and keep the Flux capacitor within optimal parameters. I will keep my 2004 Jeep WJ for as long as I can. I can fix half of what is on and in it. And I won't electrocute me while working on it.
He redlined it at 1:09😂
Dodge, let there be a switch to turn on or off the sound as needed.
Also, allow aftermarket to tweak/tune the sound.
Need that body design and put a redeye engine into it.....the stealerships are going to screw everyone on price gouging on this vehicle also.
But this car goes faster then the red eye so that would be a waste of money.
The body is fantastic. But that's it. Hybrid was the next logical step for SRT. Synthetic fuel, etc. Electric is the future - the far future. Infrastructure alone to power all EV vehicles is 30 years, minimum. For some reason, Stellantis thinks the US is Europe. They are mistaken.
The design is beautiful, but If it was a gas guzzler then I would buy it
I want one that styling is killer
This is the only EV I would consider
If im obligated to go ev I would definitely pick this one up
I really hope they continue to make a v8 after a couple years there’s no way everything can go electric v8s and v6’s prices will skyrocket
When you hear a real charger coming, you get the f***k outta the way.. this thing says, excuse me, can I get by..😂
And the answer is no, no you can’t
Thinking about buying one of these just to do a hellcat swap in it haha
FOR REALL. I NEED THIS CAR IN MATTE BLACK AND A HEMI
U would have 2 gut out a whole lot of shit and in hopes that all parts fit inside, it would be a waste of money unless u don’t mind.
@@ds-ld1kb it would be a totally different car and would cost a fortune for sure but definitely would turn heads at car shows. Still no word on when these are actually being released though.
When can I order the Dodge Charger Banshee?
🤔Driving that thing on the strip in your city on a summer Saturday night is going to be EPIC!! 😁
And activists couldn't do anything about it. Hell yeah😎🦅
@@sashadrev2968the activists are the reason why the glorious V8 that the REAL Charger and Challenger had was killed off, and this monstrosity exists in their place now. 🤦♂️
Dodging all the coke bottles being thrown at you will be a fun game
@@Ghost-rr7xh DODGEing coke bottles😂
Jokes aside, in my opinion this thing looks like it it came from the Grid from TRON. So night drives are just the perfect environment.
Did he upgrade the subs? 😅
Do you press a button for the rev sound?
Damn! that speaker sounds pretty good. Does it play music with that loudness and quality??
Not actually a speaker but an air tube system which sucks and blows air to make that acoustic sound.
Something about electric vehicles compared to gas powered and real engine cars... idk. It's like having a woman who has had numerous plastic surgeries, a BBL, and wears 10 lbs. of makeup, versus having a natural woman who isn't fake.
Some people like women with BBLs
I'll take the turbo straight 6 version
Same
If they make one, ill buy it. Not the ev.
Can’t lie, mf looks good. Hopefully pressure will make Dodge realize HEMI’s need to come back
EV sales are up 65% in the last year. What pressure? 😂
@@sunnysgreyarea2522 yeah bro anyone can buy electrical cars and SUV’s but not a lot of people are excited about electrical muscle cars
@@iancuspinera1160 ok so that’s over half the consumer base wanting electric. But what options do they have? How boring are electric cars. No personality. Shaped like jelly beans…. And yet.. 65% in favor. So imagine a electric car with personality, that actually looks good hitting the market. It’s a no brainer from a business point. I think the ppl that are emotionally invested have the hardest time seeing the logic. 65% want jelly beans. You really think they not gone want this???
@@sunnysgreyarea2522A 65% increase in EV sales doesn't equate to 65% of the buying public wanting EVs.
@@chrisrainieri2763 it means goldmine for a business man though. It’s clear projection on where things are going is it not?
Did they do a pull on it? Yet....?
How do they rew that electric engine when the car is barely moving?
So it just makes noise at random times?
Can the exhaust be streamed via Bluetooth to my earbuds while driving.....😂
Joke's getting old
With the turbo charged I6 option for this and Mitsubishi saying they might bring back the Evo, my decision for my next car is gonna be difficult
They are bringing back the evo? Haven't heard of that news
@@narutwodjf evo cross
@@Zyn12985 .................... Oh no..
@@narutwodjf hybrid why can't Mitsubishi get back to their racing days
you know the new Evo will be an SUV right.....
Why couldn't Dodge have styled the outgoing combustion Charger like this?
Cant wait to see the version of this with the hurricane engine in it
Love the styling, not the fake 'meow' from the speaker. Stick a 392 HEMI in that and I'm all in! 😂
Not a speaker 🤦🏾♂️
The sound is created by air that's sucked and then amplified by speaker. So it's more like a vuvuzela with a mic.
@@TivoKenevil these guys are more interested in ridiculing it than understanding it.
@vanatic22 Why?? This car goes faster than the demon. Why would u want it 2 have a scat engine ?
Looks incredible and clean. Sad part is, it's being ev.
The v8 is dead. Thank the government
Disappointed with the direction of dodge charger. I thought about buying a Scatpack Charger right before I learned of dodge discontinuing the gas models.
If mustang doesn’t go EV. Everybody will have mustangs 😂
Beautiful design, sounds terrible, would love to see more though. Very very unlikely that I would ever consider buying this thing
That’s five minutes of my life I can’t get back to watch a car roll around
Looks good but i cant say it compares to that combustible V8 engine❤️❤️❤️
How much are these?
Sounds a lot better but not exactly a pure muscle sound
80s looking towards the future vehicle
People hating on this like people hated on the first “cars” that replaced horse drawn carriages. 🤣
The engine got replaced with a speaker😂😂😂
One of the best looking chargers out there
This is not a HELL CAT. Its sound is more KITTEN than CAT.
Now that's a closer look to the original charger..make them and sell them.Reg Gas ⛽️
Peeps may confuse this for a space ship. Especially at night lol
Thinking about it that way makes me want one more
If they make a version of this that you put gas in they won't be able to keep it on the car lot people will buy this like hotcakes
I want to see it go down the track
everyone whine about the fake sound but theyd be whining if it was completely quiet too 😂
they are dumb, i preffer this because they have sound as a soul, its not completely fake as i thought
Why the hell did they not put the pair of scallops on the doors like the 68-70 charger doors. I just don't get it.
Pretty sharp! she cuts like a knife!!! MOPAR ON!
If indeed the Banshee can whip my Charger Hellcat or the Redeye Jailbreak I put off ordering to wait for the Banshee, then I made the right decision.
How long before someone puts a Hellcat engine in one?
Did you hear how the doors slam songs hollow
This gonna be AWD?
this thing would be raw blacked out w no sound at all, something about a giant piece of metal flying down the road with only the whistling of the wind is tuff
So basically its not a car, it's a big ass speaker 🤔😒
sounds a lot better than the first time, still absolutely needs a stickshift option
its an ev
@@fridayupdates26 it's a joke dude omg
sounds like a power drill lmao
That Fartzonic sound is awful lol...
I got a 2023 Scatpack Widebody Shaker, but fs, gonna get a deal on it and get one of these. THAT IS INSTANT POWER.
“Look how they massacred my boy” ~Vito Corleone
😆👍
I want one NOW!!!! I'll always love my hemi Challenger but this is the way.
i think that if they brought the C pillar forwards a little bit more to make the rear end look a little bit longer it would resemble that 68,69,70 body line look. and in my opinion make this look 1,000% better
they should put 6 blue green and pink round lights in the back
Sound like I’m at kings island at the banshee ride on a Halloween night
0:34 - Too bad the actual production model looks NOTHING like this concept. #illWait
If you can buy one with the 510 hp Hurricane Straight Six....... I might just forgive them for killing off the HEMI.
I bet that thing weighs 8000 lbs. I think the fact that it looks great makes this even more painful to bear. Mustang for the win.
