Performance Tech: Inside the 2025 Dodge Charger's Fratzonic Exhaust, Donut/Drift Mode, and PowerShot

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona transforms what a modern muscle car can be, bringing electrifying performance to the storied nameplate while maintaining the aggressive character that fans expect. As the world's only all-wheel-drive muscle car, this next-generation Charger doesn't just embrace electric technology—it transforms it with uniquely Dodge performance features that ensure the driving experience remains as exhilarating as ever.

The 2025 Charger Daytona introduces three standout performance technologies that set it apart from typical electric vehicles: the patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, the instant power boost of PowerShot, and the tire-smoking fun of Donut/Drift Mode on Scat Pack models. Each feature has been engineered to deliver the authentic Dodge muscle car experience while showcasing what's possible when performance meets electric propulsion.

The Sound of Power: Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust

Electric vehicles are typically known for their silence, but the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona breaks that mold with its innovative Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system. Standard on both R/T and Scat Pack trims, this world-first technology delivers a signature rumble and tactile sound wave output that announces the Charger's presence with authority.

Unlike artificial sound played through speakers, the Fratzonic system produces genuine acoustic feedback through a physical chamber. This patent-pending technology creates a distinctive audio signature that responds to your driving inputs—accelerating, decelerating, and cruising each produce different sound profiles that enhance the sensory experience. The result is an electric muscle car that sounds as powerful as it performs.

For drivers concerned about losing the emotional connection that comes with a traditional exhaust note, the Fratzonic system represents Dodge's commitment to preserving the full sensory experience of muscle car driving. You'll feel the sound as much as hear it, creating that visceral connection between driver and machine that's essential to the Charger's DNA.

PowerShot: Instant Performance On Demand

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona comes equipped with PowerShot, a feature that delivers an exhilarating surge of additional power when you need it most. Available as standard on both the R/T and Scat Pack trims, PowerShot provides a temporary boost that takes the Charger's already impressive performance to new heights.

On the Charger Daytona R/T, PowerShot increases output from the base 456 hp to an impressive 496 hp. The higher-performance Scat Pack model sees its output jump from an already substantial 630 hp to a staggering 670 hp when PowerShot is activated. This instant power boost is perfect for overtaking on highways or launching from a standstill with maximum authority.

The PowerShot feature comes with a dedicated indicator in the instrument cluster that lets you know when the system is available and active. This thoughtful integration ensures you can tap into the Charger's full potential at the right moment. For Canadian drivers who value responsive performance in diverse driving conditions, PowerShot delivers that extra confidence and capability when the situation calls for it.

Drift Master: Exclusive Donut/Drift Mode

The 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack offers an exclusive feature that will delight performance enthusiasts: Donut/Drift Mode. This specialized driving mode transforms the all-wheel-drive Charger into a rear-wheel-drive thrill machine with the push of a button, allowing for controlled drifts and classic muscle car donuts.

When activated, Donut/Drift Mode puts the vehicle in a rear-biased propulsion configuration with Electronic Stability Control fully disabled. Drivers can select varying levels of traction control intervention, allowing for personalized control during drifting maneuvers. This clever engineering solution gives you the best of both worlds—the all-weather capability of AWD for daily driving and the pure rear-wheel-drive experience for when you want to have some fun.

What makes this feature even more versatile is its functionality in various conditions. Beyond dry pavement performance, Donut/Drift Mode is described as "ice-and-snow ready," giving Canadian drivers the opportunity to enjoy controlled slides in winter conditions as well. It's a unique feature that adds an extra dimension of driving enjoyment while showcasing the advanced drivetrain capabilities of the new Charger platform.

Experience the Future of Performance

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona proves that electric vehicles can deliver thrilling driving experiences that satisfy even the most dedicated muscle car enthusiasts. With its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust providing the soundtrack, PowerShot delivering on-demand acceleration, and Donut/Drift Mode offering tail-sliding excitement, this next-generation Charger demonstrates that the future of performance is bright.
