I have a few problems with this car
I am all for EVs. I believe that's the future, and like quartz watches, it will dramatically reduce the cost of car ownership, eventually.
On the other hand, if I get an electric car, I don't want one that tries to look and behave like an ICE car. It will just be full of comprises. 670HP in an EV is nothing. With a much better power to weight ratio, a Tesla 3 Performance will probably smoke it every day and every night not to mention S Plaid. And this parlor trick fake engine sound, no matter how good that sound reproduction is, everyone knows it is fake. BTW, Hyundai beat it to the market with artificial engine sound with the Ioniq 5N, and Tesla can easily do an over the air update to provide this feature.
I wonder how many potential Challenger buyers were telling themselves "if it were an EV I would have bought it long ago". The new Charger is a nice looking car, but it's much better suited to have a big Hemi engine in there than a battery pack and 2 electric motors. When a car make gets a chance to build an EV, why not think outside of box and build a car that showcases full advantages of being an EV instead of getting weighed down by their legacy designs? Let's see in a year down the line if I am right or wrong.
Daytona Muscle Car Sounds
Some info from a Motor Trend test The R/T and Scat Pack announce their presence with a synthetic soundtrack.The Fratzonic chambered exhaust is two speakers driven by a 600-watt amp from an enclosure under the back of the car. The development team sampled ...
Yes, quartz with a speaker
When you turn the crown you can rev the ticking from 21.6 to 28.8 on up to high beat. Probably even has a rattling roll noise to simulate a 7750 rotor …

I absolutely HATE any cars that pipe engine noise...
...I'm not 14. I don't need to hear 'Vroom!!!'
This is worse than piping ice engine noise. This is just playing a soundtrack. To me electric cars are toasters. Plaids and Lucids are just stupid fast toasters. I see no advantages in
taking away choice and mandating an electric future for cars. Fine though for leaf blowers, if you must insist on blowing someone else's dust onto my car or into my property at least let me sleep in or take my afternoon nap!
The best thing about an EV is the smooth silence.
I do not see the point of the auxiliary vuvuzela.
