As some of you may know, the HEMI V8 will soon follow in the footsteps of the dinosaurs that powered them and they will be replaced with an all electric propulsion system. In the case of the Dodge Daytona SRT, that will be the all new 800V Banshee and apparently, it's supposed to be more powerful than the engine of a Hellcat. Now, what's weird is that this new electric engine actually puts out a sound and what we've been told is that it was comparable to the 126 dB roar of an SRT Hellcat.

Anyway, here are some pics of what the future of muscle cars looks like and for me personally, I have to say it really is a beautiful car. The lines are gorgeous and remind me more of what the original Charger looked like. And, having heard it for myself, I have to say it really is a shame that the artificial and pathetic meow it makes was so underwhelming.

Wonder how long it will take until some obnoxiously wealthy person buys one, rips the electrical guts out of it, and replaces it with a Hemi.....

It is a beautiful car...looks like Italian designed lines...but no Hemi. I like the sound of a Hellcat...and the feel of one...

Honestly, it's the "FEEL" that is completely absent and that makes it weird. Sure, it's loud but annoying. Maybe if they added some subwoofers or something but as is, it's all midrange and reminds me of a pathetic tiger roar you would have heard on an old 1960's TV show.

Honestly, that's maybe the one saving grace of this new Charger. It is my understanding that it was developed with future HEMI swaps in mind.

Dodge's electric muscle car may switch to gasoline someday

Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said the Charger Daytona SRT electric muscle car is built on a platform that can accommodate an internal combustion engine if needed.

I like the looks but I don’t like this new EV stuff. It won’t ever be the same as a real V8 muscle car.

I'll post up the sound clip at the end of tonight's video. Although, what I should have done is filmed everyone who was there to hear it. Their expression said it all. The fake engine sound was like... beyond meat for vegans 🤮
