If you just threw that picture up I would have said it was a Camaro EV concept.

OH I never noticed the similarity until you said that!

100% agree - the only Dodge cues are the full-width tail light and the break in the middle of the front grille. All the rest is plain Camaro.

In my defense when I first saw the concept in 2014 the Camaro looked different. The Cuda Looks more like a current gen than a 14 Camaro.

Honestly, that new Dodge looks production ready. Wouldn't surprise at all if that's the real thing.

I didn't realize until watching this video that the front end basically is a front spoiler, very cool. (starts @0:25 seconds

i saw it in the pictures earlier. i like the idea, but doubtful that'll pass pedestrian impact standards.

Listen to the Dodge Charger EV "Sound".

Sounds like absolute shit.

Yea, I've taken to referring to it as an Automotive Pipe Organ, since that's basically what it is.

Sounded like one of those sound boards you get for your kids. Or what the sounds for car were like in the earlier Need for Speed games, like Hot Pursuit 2.

sounds very similar to the tesla exhaust.

How long did it take video game designers to replicate car sounds properly in their racing games? I think they've succeeded for some cars but not others.
And the sound is always off during acceleration because the sound never sounds like an increase in revolution, it just sounds like the baseline noise that has been distorted to match the increase in revolution...almost like just raising the volume and making it louder.

Can the car manufacturers replicate it more successfully?
